Printful: Print on Demand

Oct. 5, 2019

Very user-friendly, and quick to learn. I would recommend to others. However, I would like to a button that would convert a graphic into black or white so as to be placed on both black and white t-shirts.

Great integration. Not sure how to add variants without having to re-design the mockup shirt. Wish there was a way to add colors and/or sizes without having to go through the entire mockup process. Other than that, Printful has been a great way to get my brand off the ground without having to fund an inventory to start.

I love this app! Useful for all my online ecommerce needs and never fails to keep improving. Always impressed when I log in to find new products added, along with new helpful integrations that continue to easily help me upload and mock-up anything I can imagine. A big bonus of Printful is that it syncs fantastically with my shopify store, even providing live updates on available inventory. Five star experience in my application and setting, I can't wait to see where Printful goes next!

This is my go-to app for my apparel company. At least until I get large enough to potentially contract directly.

Review #2 I have orders that have been waiting way past the fulfillment days more than 28 days. Instead of making sure my orders will be processed in a timely manner all they do is send a generic message. They have not been properly marking my products as shipped. Leaving customers wondering why they haven’t received a tracking number. I have my account automated so they can properly process my orders which they have been doing a poor job. Review #1 The 'quality control' feature must be the biggest scam feature that Printful has. I don't think caring humans even check the products. I have contacted them multiple times about embroidery orders such as snapbacks being mailed completely damaged. Their machines do not seem to handle simple jobs, they are shipped with unreadable text. I have custom orders that have been shipped twice in terrible quality. It's an embarrassment when a customer has to receive damaged merchandise twice.

Integrates so seamless its hard to believe in a few clicks you have a store up and running. My go-to for almost all my products - hope you guys keep adding more!

A great app that syncs well with both Etsy and Shopify, saves a lot of time in my e-commerce workflow.

Love it! Easy to use, great products, great pricing. I started using it a few months ago and it only took about 5-minutes to get set up and to learn how to use. I love it!

Printful's quality of products are fantastic. My customers love the product! I am a professional textile designer with over 30 years of experience printing. Ilove how easy it is for me to design very complex prints and artwork and have the designs turn out fabulous. The customer service team is awesome!

It helped me add the products I was looking to add to my store. I like that I could add tags and collections before pushing to my store.

The integration is seamless - everything is up and running instantly. We had no roadblock in the integration process even though we are noobs at this

I like what they are doing, HOWEVER I would love to see more BLACK and plus size models. That's my only concern here. I would like to see all races. When I was chatting with someone on printful all the could do was recommend me to go elsewhere to find people of color (THAT WAS THE TERMINOLOGY THAT WAS USED. smh. A little disappointed. A big change is need here. Thank you! The revised the post and the original response they gave me.

The printful app is very easy to use to create products for my shopify store. You can have a product up and running in no time.

UPDATE 2: Back to 1 star. I am very shocked with how the customer support handles problems. UPDATE, bumping my 1 star to 2: The short of it is Printful might be totally fine for you if you just want to slap some designs on t-shirts and then sell them on Etsy without any regard for quality. But if you want to start a brand and are concerned about quality, this probably isn't for you. The main reasons for this are: poor customer support, a painful mockup editor experience, and a lack of variety in the t-shirt options (not enough heavy cotton a la streetwear, too many soft fitted tees that warp/stretch/don't last). The editor in particular is rough. Using it is a painfully haphazard experience. For example, if you have different versions of the same design (i.e. the same design in white (for dark shirts) and the same design in black (for light shirts)), you have to manually re size and position them separately. The grid is useless for getting the placement identical between these two designs, so you wind up having to move things just a touch, save, check the mock up, then go back and adjust again if needed. Either that or you can settle for your customer clicking between product images and noticing that one design is slightly higher than the other. A small thing to notice, but it makes a world of difference in presenting your brand in a professional way. A good brand should have consistency and avoid simple mistakes like that. And then when it comes to resizing the image, you have to drag the corner of the design while watching the DPI go up or down. Thing is, it doesn't go up or down by 1 DPI at a time. If you have one design perfectly placed and sized at 377 DPI and now you're trying to match another design identically, the DPI will constantly jump between 373 and 378. Again, resulting in a difference that is super tiny, but makes a huge difference in your brand image and consistency across product variants. Other limitations of the editor include not being able to edit the design on the mockup that you will actually use. Let's say you want your mockups to be flat product shots. You'll still have to edit the shirt on a doofy looking model. This again results in too much work between editing and understanding how your final product will look. If you want to get artsy and do a black design on a black shirt, your mockup will be a plain black shirt--no design in sight. Even in other cases (not pure black ink on black fabric), large areas of black in a design will be replaced with the fabric of the shirt. The problem is, that's not how the actual product will look. The black will be printed (that's the beauty of DTG, no limitations on screens like screenprinting), but that means what your customer sees on the mockup vs what they will actually receive after purchase look totally different. I'm hoping for improvements in the future. If I'm so frustrated, why do I continue to use it? Because it does the bare minimum for now. For now is the key there. Right now I'm using Printful as a foundation for building my brand with limited capital, but if my brand grows to a point where I can leave printful OR if competition springs up that can address these issues, I currently don't see many compelling reasons to continue using it.
