Excellent video! Thank you for sharing this information. Also! Sweet channel, glad I came across it (totally by accident looking for reviews of Printful). Looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel!
Thanks Courtney. Glad you found the Printful info useful. Thanks for checking out my channel.
8 minutes and 45 seconds before the shirts are unboxed.
Sorry to disappoint. I’ve watch a lot of other Printful unboxings that didn’t cover much about the service itself and rather than just repeating what others have done I wanted to talk about the service, how it works, how it’s different from other direct to garment printing options, and how artists can use the service to market their own designs. I apologize if that wasn’t what you were looking for.
I think the poster came here like myself, expecting "Printful Review and Unboxing" and wanted to see the printed product and your impressions. Perhaps "Printful Overview, Samples and Review" would set expectations better. Thank you for the video; while I've investigated Printful heavily, it was great to see printed samples, something one doesn't see often.
Donovan Long Thanks Donovan. I think the issue is that everyone's expectations are different. I'm honestly not trying to be click-baity or to lead anyone on. I just stated that this was an unboxing and a review and I believe I did that. Maybe not in the way that everyone prefers, but I'm trying to do something different on my channel and I admit it's not for everyone.
This is glorious, I have been researching "online t shirts store" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Diyaaroih Shirtify Explosion - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it!
great review, good to know you can control the shirt type as well!
Great video Scott! I'm taking your approach and setting up in a few places. Just set up at RedBubble, finishing my storenvy setup, then I'll definitely give PrintFul a look. You always set a great example for artists trying to figure things out!
The Art Of Creed Stonegate! Awesome Creed. I just think it's great that Artist have all these tools to help make cool products.
I am just now in the process of taking my kid's art and printing it on t-shirts through Printful and my Shopify store. Your review is stellar and so truly helpful thank you!
Thanks Joy, That's awesome, you're more than welcome. I'm glad I could help out.
You are so positive and vibrant....Love watching your enthusiasm ....Merch by Amazon is great too. Been selling on Etsy for years so will be adding this to that. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. I will be looking into Amazon Merch. Printful just partnered with Etsy. It used to be that to connect your Etsy shop to Printful you needed to go through Ship Station and had to wait until an order came in and set each item and variant separately, it was a huge hassle. Now it relatively easy. I would definitely recommend connecting Printful to your Etsy Shop.
That white on black really came out awesome! Great vid Scott!
Thanks I'm really happy with the tees!
love your videos, and these unboxing ones are so helpful, thank you!
Your welcome Scott, I'm glad you find them helpful. That's why I do them.
Beast mode. Good shit bro. Thanks for this vid 🚀
Thanks. You’re welcome, glad you found it useful.
Your shirts are so nice! Thanks for the review!!!
Thank you and you're welcome.
Have you tried printing any designs with blues and turquoise in them with Printful? I'm having trouble getting blues to come out nice and vibrant - they always come out navy/dark! Trying to get that deep 100% RGB blue (0,0,255).
Interesting, I'll have to look into that. I have designs with blue and turquoise, but I haven't printed sample of those designs. Thanks for the heads up. let me know if you have any luck and I'll do the same.
Ah man, some day I want to be as on top of my online store as you are. I'm so indecisive. I started with a threadless artist shop and then moved to DBH. I like the DBH interface (because it is leaps and bounds better than threadless) and now printful sounds great... my main problem is that each one just takes so much time. I need to set aside time every so often to do up my store/products correctly...
I have shirts on Red Bubble, Teepublic, DBH, TeeFury etc. because they have built in marketplaces, but if your driving your own traffic would recommend Storenvy connected to Printful. It may take time to set up but you will get better returns and have your own branding. I'll be doing a video with tips on how to have a top notch online store.
Serkworks Art Labs I'm still in the "audience building & needs more products" stage of things. I'll have to look into tee public and tee fury. I wish I could justify an assistant or intern so I could keep making while they list and sell (I know it's all part of the gig though)
great we must look into this, thank you so much!
You're welcome! Happy to help.
nice!
TTChaeng thanks!
Hi, I have just started with printful last week. I was wondering if you knew where I could find a size guide for the t-shirts. On Redbubble they have measurements , I am concerned that no size guide will put people off buying!
Hi Cally. To my knowledge I don't think Printful offers a size guide. The problem is that Printful offers a variety of T-shirt manufacturers to choose from where Redbubble usually sticks to one. So it's harder and more confusing for Printful to offer a size guide. Printful does offer a pretty good discount on test shirts. Once you decide on which style to go with you can usually go to that manufactures site and find a size guide you can use. I'm using Bella Canvas Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tee and I found the size guide for that particular style here: www.bellacanvas.com/product/3001/Unisex-Jersey-Short-Sleeve-Tee.html
Thanks, that is really helpful, I hadn't thought of looking at the manufactures websites. I wanted to be as helpful as possible to customers, as a lot are in the UK and our sizes differ to those in the US. Many thanks :)
I enjoyed the info in this vid. Thanks!
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
Hey Scott, thanks for the video. I ordered some shirts from Printful almost a year ago and was very displeased, but I think I'm ready to give it another try. Have you run into any issues with returns based on wrong shirt sizes? This is also a concern for me. Thanks!
Sometimes it takes time for these companies to find their footing. Printful seems to be on top of things as far as improving their service. They are always rolling out new features. The recently opened an office in the UK which should help bring down some of the cost with international shipping and they just integrated with Etsy.
As far as returns for the wrong size: Do you mean Printful shipped the wrong size or that a manufacturer's shirts may run too large or small an the customer wants a exchange? In any case I haven't had that happen yet, but I anticipate it will probably happen. It's a concern, but I will have to deal with that on an individual basis when it happens and if necessary adjust my return policy.
Does printfull let you put your tag on the label inside the shirt?
Yes, but there is an extra charge for that.
Of course, hope it helped.
Just one question...did you vectorize your images? Thanks so much again! - Joy
It's funny I've heard on other videos that you need to vectorize your art for Printful and that just isn't true. In fact a lot of my designs are vector based but I end up converting them to a non vector format (PNG) before uploading them to Printful.
One thing you will need to do if you're scanning your kids artwork is to remove any unwanted background. The background needs to be transparent. PNG files support transparency. Unless the look you want is to have a white rectangular background (or whatever color the paper is) as part of your design.
This is helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome, Hope it helps!
Thx for the vid! Two years on can I ask you how fruitful was this venture into printful? Cheers
Well I haven’t sold a ton. But I would put the blame more on my lack of a good marketing strategy rather than Printful. I’m currently looking into other avenues for my T-shirt designs. Like the merch shelf on UA-cam and Amazon Merch.

If you sell from Storenvy , say for example your personal prints, does it show your return address? Or do you have to set up a P.O.Box?
With Storenvy you ship your own products, unless your going through a drop shipping company like Printful, Printful does give you the option to upload a label with your own branding and address, but if you don't want to do that you can just use Printful's return address.
Thanks for your reply!
Can't you pick some designs or do you
Have to to be an artist???? Please let me
Know
I don’t believe that Printful offers a way to pick designs or generate your own designs from preexisting artwork, fonts etc., however you don’t have to be an artist to sell on Printful. As long as you have a design in a transparent PNG format you can upload it to Printful for use on their products. Your design can be created from whatever means you usually get your designs from. Wether that is clip art from a site like shutterstock.com, customizable design goods from creativemarket.com, canva.com etc. My You Tube audience are mostly artist so I tend to keep things geared towards them, but this video is finding a larger audience and I should make it clear that you don’t have to create the artwork yourself as long as you have art from somewhere you can have Prihtful print it.
Hey there, Catherine!
We recently introduced a text tool to our mockup and print file generator - so you can create text-based prints from scratch. And we're also working on a clipart function. Have a try: www.printful.com/mockup-generator
Also, we offer design services. You can get in touch with our in-house design team with your idea of a design and they'll draw it up for you. You can read more here: www.printful.com/services/design
How do you make your designs? Do you use adobe photoshop of illustrator?
Daphne La Rondelle It depends on the design. I use mostly Illustrator for graphic design and for finished lineart. Sometimes I will add color using Photoshop. Typically l began with a hand drawn sketch.
How do you get your store logo or design on the shipping label?? I just uploaded 2 designs on etsy. just wondering because I didnt see a option for that
I don't think Etsy offers that service on their labels. (not sure if that's where you were looking) but Printfull gives you the ability to upload your logo. Under your name in the upper right hand corner of the Printful site (after you have logged in) click on "settings" in the drop down box, on the left hand side under "stores" click on "packing slip" that's where you can upload your logo.
Can anyone recommend any companies the do print on demand but for phone cases
Printful does do phone cases.
Hows the handfeel of reach for the stars print ?
Nobody give a review of the print handfeel
Hey Leo, the feel of the ink on the black tees is a little thicker than on white. but It still has a nice feel and not supper thick. I've noticed over time that the artwork printed on black lasts a lot longer than on the white which tends to fade after a number of washes.
Thank you !!
What size are the T-Shirts?
The ones I was showing were all large, but most of the brands Printful carries run from kids sizes up to triple XL. You can select which sizes you want to carry.
How do you claim your own t-shirts for free.
I'm not sure Printful offers that as an option, however I believe they give you the option to order 3 of your own designs a month for 20% off and free shipping so you can test different items and how the printing looks.
Serkworks Art Labs how do I do that
When you create an account with Printful, upload your designs and pick the product or products you want samples for then It should give you the discounts when you place your order within your account automatically. At least it did for me.
What camera did u use for this
I use a Canon G&X Mark II; Here's a link: amzn.to/2Cg9cLc
It's the shirt causing the lacluster coloring
I’m not sure what you mean. Can you clarify?
Serkworks Art Labs the quality of the shirt, dictats the quality of the design?
How long did it take to get delivered ?
Usually about a week. more or less.
I live in Canada I have waited 1 week for fulfillment and 2 week for delivery and still not here. I ordered 1 sample t-shirt
International shipping even to Canada from the US is a pain, Hopefully they will open more locations. I know they are expanding and have opened locations in the UK.
Needs more flair
I'm sure that can be arranged
Red Bubble is a print on demand service as well. The only difference is the artists profit is just above completely pointless.
Thanks, yeah. I have designs on Red Bubble, TeePublic, Design by Humans and Society 6. I sell a lot more on those platforms than I do on my own site. But the royalties are about a quarter of what I earn using Printful.
Most people on UA-cam ramble on I just fast forward until I see what I think I want to see. I really wish they would stop the rambling.
Yvette sorry you weren’t happy with the video. I’d be happy to refund your money. Oh wait.
How do u review something u don't fully understand? U don't know how it works 100% but yet u spent all this time making a half ass review with "I think... I think..." Seriously, I wouldnt trust a thing uve said.
Dino Martin Sorry you didn't find the information you were looking for. I hope you find another video that answers whatever questions you had.
Talks too much, very little real info.
Sorry, you didn't find what you were looking for, I would offer you a refund, but, well the content was free.
get to the point... ugh
There are many points made about Printful throughout the video. Sorry I didn’t get to the particular point you were looking for soon enough.
I’ve watch a lot of other Printful unboxings that didn’t cover much about the service itself and rather than just repeating what others have done I wanted to talk about the service, how it works, how it’s different from other direct to garment printing options, and how artists can use the service to market their own designs. I apologize if that wasn’t what you were looking for specifically.
lol you're prob right - not that that matters... yes I just wanted a quality video no unboxing, no tips etc. But thanks for the response.
