NinjaPOD: DTF Print on Demand

Jan. 22, 2026

Fulfillment is slow. I switched over from Printful thinking Ninja would be a lot quicker at fulfilling orders and I think they're actually slower. I had one order from 1/12 that didn't get fulfilled until 1/16 and as of today 1/22 the customer is still waiting for their item. I put in a personal order on 1/16 for physical stock replenishment and it's barely going into production today 1/22.. I hope I have it in time for my market event on 2/7...

We’ve been using Ninja’s consumable products for quite some time, including DTF supplies that we also print in-house, and their products have consistently been phenomenal — from DTF transfers to patches. Because of that positive experience, we decided to transition part of our operation to Ninja’s Print-on-Demand service to reduce internal workload and expand our product offerings without the burden of warehousing large amounts of inventory. We recently rebranded and are currently soft-launching our new brand using Ninja POD. Overall, the print quality has been solid. Occasionally, we’ve seen minor issues such as crooked or slightly misaligned design placements. To Ninja’s credit, every issue that didn’t pass our strict quality control was reprinted promptly and without pushback. That said, communication is where things could improve. While corrected products do arrive a few days later, there is often little to no correspondence when an issue is reported. As a POD provider, Ninja isn’t just a vendor — they’re a business partner — and even a short acknowledgment or update would go a long way. The app functions reasonably well, especially considering Ninja is newer to the POD space, and improvements do seem to be ongoing. However, there are some areas that need attention. Mockups, in particular, are a challenge. On several hoodies, the design editor places artwork too high, overlapping the hood, which forces you to compress the artwork height and distort the aspect ratio — even though 11” x 16” prints are stated as supported. Some products are missing proper placement boxes altogether, including pocket placements, or have placement boxes positioned outside the actual garment. Sleeve mockups look especially rough and resemble animated mannequin renders rather than realistic apparel. More lifestyle mockup choices would also be nice. Especially for back prints. The ability to remove/hide the default branding tags and/or replace with custom tags in the mockups would be great. Additional app issues include the inability to fully delete products from the system — deleted product names remain reserved, which makes reusing names difficult later. A bulk edit or bulk delete feature is also badly needed. Deleting products one by one, especially when the app returns you to the first page each time, is inefficient and frustrating. Looking forward, there are several features that would significantly elevate the platform. It would be great to see more transfer options available in POD, such as glitter, puff, foil, and glow-in-the-dark. Patch hats or embroidered hat options would also be a welcome addition, as DTF is not ideal for headwear. Expanding beyond apparel into items like drinkware, candles, or other lifestyle products would help brands offer more variety. One of the most exciting potential improvements would be enhanced branding options — custom packaging, thank-you cards, or even small inserts like stickers or keychains. Since Ninja already does UV DTF extremely well, this feels like a natural next step to help brands create a more personalized unboxing experience rather than just a folded shirt in a poly bag. Customer service does appear to be improving, and the introduction of a chat feature is a positive step, though email response times could still be faster. They are also developing an inventory feature, which currently feels a bit rough around the edges, but given that this is peak season, some growing pains are understandable. Overall, when compared to other POD companies, choosing Ninja still feels like a smart decision. They are clearly on the right path, and we appreciate the effort they’re putting into improving the platform. We’re hopeful for a long, prosperous partnership as we grow together — and we fully expect to update this review to a 5-star rating once these improvements are realized.

For a new POD supplier, they got a lot right. HUGE catalog, easy to add and integrate new products into the store, production and delivery efficiency. Suggestions: 1. Include measurements when adding new designs on to products. I'd like to know my front left chest logo is 3" vs 5" (actually happened). 2. When finalizing product for shopify, include collection list to add products to. 3. Include mockups initially. There's a few extra steps to get the propers mockups added. 4. There are some products that don't have the proper mechanics in place for natural mockups. This leads to not listing those products. Looking forward to seeing these changes made so I can up my star rating.

Ninja Transfers has the best option for starting a clothing brand! They have a wide variety of products to choose from to customize to your brand. The ease of connecting it to your Shopify store makes this the perfect platform. My one and ONLY complaint is, their quality assurance system is nonexistent! I’m not sure if our orders are automatically handled by machines, but their folded into a box or a bag for shipping.. meaning a real person is at the final stage of the merchandise before it gets shipped out, why are they not checking the orders. Each and every that has had multiple items, have been either misprinted or placed incorrectly. For a brand trying to get up and running, this is negatively impacting the first impression of new customers.
