One crucial aspect overlooked is a feature present in Printful but possibly absent in Printify - the ability to personalize your packing slips. This customization option allows you to incorporate features such as your logo, store's contact information, and a brief message. Moreover, even if you choose not to personalize your packing slips, Printful ensures there is no branding from their end on the packaging.
Printify does have the personal card you can add to your package, but I didn’t know their name is visible in the packaging?
I just recieved 2 sample hats from printify from "my company name" No "Printify" showing on manifest.
Ty! V.helpful ❤
Thanks for that important information that I never knew.
Thanks a lot
It's worth mentioning that Printful is a lot easier to deal with when it comes to international shipping. Have been using Printful for the past few months and have zero complaints.
Awesome and thanks for sharing.
Thank you!! Very helpful!
Printify has the option to automatically have your designs sent to the closest supplier to your customer. So far I've sent shirts to Germany Mexico Amsterdam and now I have a shirt going out to New Zealand all printed near the customer to help reduce shipping cost😎😎😎
does that affect the shipping cost ?
I've been using Printify and it's just so painful. Every time I change a title, mockup image, or any detail of my products it instantly gives a publishing error with the only fix being redesigning the product from scratch. I just cannot explain how much I truly hate this platform.
This was clear and to the point. I'm new to all of this and I just needed a breakdown. Thank you!
I like to mitigate risk as much as possible. Printful seems the way to go.
Printful has been great for quality for us. The images designed look just as good in person.
Do heed the warnings about image sizes that Printful gives in the design phase. They are very helpful.
I have been impressed with their duffels and backpacks, in addition to the t-shirts.
Thanks for this video! I started with Printful, then I switch to Printify due to prices, but it got me headaches because lots of time there was no stock, or something happened (this was some time ago, maybe now is better), so then I change again back to Printful seeing that my designs are very colorful and I want the best quality and colors, and consistency! Glad to see more people choosing Printful! It looks like everyone on YT is recommending Printify this days.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Why not choose both?
Could you teach me pod?
Im new to POD and like everything, I analyze and do tons of research. I couldnt decide between the two for the very reasons this video was made. I will be using Printful moving forward for 85% of my items.
Excellent job. This deserves more views!
Great review and well done comparison. You covered all of my key questions and concerns. Excellent post.l
This video highlights something that I find increasingly annoying. How people rate things. 7.6 is a bad rating, but if it wasn't for this push to give everything 5/5 or 10/10 it should signify an above average score. The score for just getting the job done with no extras and no screw ups should be 2.5/5 or 5/10 not top score gold standard for average performance. The top scores should be reserved just for the truly exceptional. I know everybody complies to the idiotic top score for anything not terrible methodology, so there is nothing we can do, but it does drive me around the bend. Sorry, rant over LOL
Haha thats exactly what i felt too. 'here we have a party that only got a 9,1, so it's not that good'. Like what; most people didn't even get near a 9,1 in highschool. Anyway, good video
Well put, because that number that some entity decided was a quality-threshold line shows an average of the fulfillment process.
It doesn't mean every order has a chance of going wrong; or every print is lackluster, it's just an average of customer satisfaction, which counts a lot in the online marketing world..
I've hand-printed t-shirts for over 30 years, and I can say from definitive experience that the knowledge of the actual printer, and the quality of the print have a lot to do with repeat customers.
My buddy's shop is busy like crazy because both he and I are both quality-first oriented.
I'm a little OCD, so all the printed shirts I've ever sold(my original designs) were tees I'd wear myself regarding the print and location.
I've seen other printers with 'Left-chest' placement up-and-down that side of the shirt, and I've seen many rough or slightly-off images for sale, because the average buyer couldn't tell; however, discerning ones point it out easily.
Print quality has a lot to do with how well and how long the print remains clear & bright too.
Thin prints wash out quicker; and poor design placement, with the design too high, too low, or off-center, reflect on the seller.
For t-shirt printing - go with the highest quality printer you can find - they're worth the price.
A lot of my tees on my future etsy shop will be printed locally at my buddy's place in Littlestown, Md., before I give Printful a go; and then I'm going to do a hassle & quality comparison.
Find a local screen printer if you don't trust POD; it's a lot more inconvenience regarding stock and shipping, but it'll ease your mind if you're having print-quality issues.
I rate your comment an 8.3
Right? Did you ever go to a live performance, it was not all that good, yet they still got a standing ovation? Something like that.
I think it really took hold when everyone started getting participation trophies.
I agree! My high school poetry slam had this problem. The judges rated all the poems like 9.0 - 10.0. One judge gave like a 7.5 and got booed and shamed. Insanity
I appreciate the clear and concise explanation of both Printify and Printful. As someone spoke on earlier, all I hear about is Printify which would lead you to believe that it has a better track record than what was shown here. Now, in all fairness, we know that some could assume that this attempting to place Printify in a negative light, however, I don't. I only see a visual example that many people would make and possibly be disappointed with. I'm grateful for being able to be shown the example than to have lived it. For me, these companies that offer Printify as a part of a business plan attempting to be "helping" to business owners are giving me concern if this is the quality you can potentially get from using the service. Looks like more vetting from them needs to happen to ensure that the business owners and other customers are taken care of as well as we as consumers need to spend a little more time researching before choosing companies to outsource to.
Thank you for doing this! I have been trying to decide between the two, and this definitely helped!!
Thanks for sharing your opinion on both. I had already chosen one of these to open my store and I'm very happy with the results. You also responded to a couple of questions I had about them, one of them being the fact that one does literally everything for you, and the other one outsources the manufacturing process to a third party. I think both are really good overall, but I'd rather pay a little more for a better product in terms of quality, especially since I'm saying this thinking on the consumer. Anyways, thanks a lot for the honest review.
hey, this was a well produced idea & video. the actual designing & ordering for a comparison is great 👍🏻 i will be checking out your other videos!
REAlly enjoyed this. Honest, hard work. Thank you!
This video is extremely helpful. It answered many questions I had before clicking on it, well done. Thank you.
I am so glad it was helpful!
@@SantrelMedia I should research your channel further but I would like to see more people provide information on Digital Purchases and how to upload the design or coaching materials associated with a digital click product. When I first started my shop I fizzled out due to being unable to show 3D designsvon Etsy for the art associated with AI Art products which I was trying to sell stickers. Then my Corporate job became too demanding and my energy fizzled out. I'm restarting this journey and looking for best practices.
would be nice to test more paper items like books etc. to see the quality of the prints.
Informative enough for me to kick start my POD biz on Etsy. Thank you for breaking down the comparison for us.
Very helpful video with great content. Thank you so much!
Very helpful thank you for this video. Everything he says is spot on to how i felt.
This was done very well - got exactly the type of info and insight I was looking for, great job and thank you!
I appreciate the positive feedback. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! This was helpful!
Great video and very helpful!! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for making this video, made us save a lot of hours in thinking. Thank you!
Thank you this video was so helpful we ordered from printify our examples and we got two work shirts that come in and one was way more faded than the other one! And they come from the same company and was made at the same time
Thanks a lot Santrel Media.
Amazing and thorough review! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video!!
Great video and information! Thank you 😊
This was an excellent video. Thank you!
Sold to Printful :) Thanks a lot for the great review!
this is great thank you !
thanks for this video really appreciate you!
This was an extremely informative, well-done video. I am hoping to set up a Shopify store doing exactly this sort of thing, and had been trying to decide between Printful and Printify. It sounds from the details in your video that Printful might be more suitable in my case. I still don't understand how payment settlement to Printful works when a customer buys a Printful item in my Shopify store, but will read more to try to figure that out. Thanks.
The days on printify are 2.9 or 2.31 (less than 3 days).... not 2 - 9 or 2 - 31 days. Also, you can state that you want only US options listed.
Thanks for pointing it out. I did notice he repeated that phrase several times.
Great call out. I was going to mention this as well. It's also worth noting that one of the reasons Printify offers providers in different countries is so that you can route orders to different providers based on the location of the order to keep shipping costs low. It's certainly not best practice to order overseas if you don't have to because shipping will really drive up the cost. There's exceptions of course, especially with certain items (like some AOP stuff, for example) that are only available from one provider.
I came here to say this...
I had a pretty good laugh when he said that. Lol
This is a helpful topic! As always, thank you all! 🎉
Thanks for watching!
This video is really good and well-explained .Now I will go for Printful.
Great video! THANK YOU!
Thank you for sharing this video you actually did all of the work for us the choice is really simple and easy .I like the fact that some people have already tried both companies it helps me to make the best decision to start .
@santrelmedia at 18:03 there is a button above the hat that says preview next to edit, it will show the mockup in many angles etc, thanks for the video though! i went back and forth for awhile before choosing printify last year, but it has the features i need!
thanks for that video very helpful !!!
I love this video is very informative thank you very much ❤❤❤
A good analysis of the two POD providers - I've used Printful in the past and have been satisfied with the quality (my favorite t-shirts I wear all the time) of the samples. Printify seems a bit risky and I would rather avoid customer complaints and charge backs.
Thank you so much for such a informative and useful video! I was wondering if you have any experience with Gelato. I want to make with a company which can ship to Japan as well and I heard this one way.
Thank you. This was just what I needed and saved me time and money. I currently use Printful but was looking into printify for faster and less expensive. I will stick with printful for consistency and quality.
Printify also has the same; I have used Printful for years and moved years ago to Printify. Monster Digital in Printify is one of the best printers for its fast production, consistency, and quality. It got 2 expensive, and you can't, and I mean very hard, make a profit most times in Printful, and don't forget the Etsy fees, etc. The example here is good, but you have to choose a USA provider in Printify and not just select the cheapest. And compare shirts that are known like Bella 3001 and Gildan 64000- IN the end order samples, read reviews and to decide :) Another player in the last few years is Awkward styles... Great T-shirts' QUALITY and options in the U.S.
Excellent video, thank you
Great video, helpful reviews! I'm going with Printful
I tried Printify and the colors faded after one wash. I could never sell this quality to customs. So I wanted to find a new supplier, and your video helped me do that! Thanks alot - I'm going to try Printful. There are already several things I noticed better about them. Thanks for your video to help confirm!
New seller here. This was a very detailed breakdown. I see a lot of people talk about printify but never the small deets that can hurt your business. Thank you for this
After fully watching the video I think I’ll let printful be my go to for all of production needs !
Thanks for watching! I am glad you found it helpful.
I'm watching this because I am tired of dealing with Printify.
@@colleenhutchison4794 What issue have you had with Printify?
The bird of paradise plant in the back is amazing.
Great video very helpful, thanks!
Great video! Thank you :)
are we able to cross-list the same designs to both platforms? Thanks for the breakdown!
Moral of the story... Always order a test product.
Don't send out awful stuff. It's worth spending a little more to keep people returning to your business.
Printful seems to always be reliable, but it's a lot more expensive.
But Printify seems to be a hit or miss depending on the supplier you pick. You can find good quality at cheaper prices here.
Will be doing Printful based on my research and the feedback from everyone here.
looking in the long term prinful is better. If you want to achieve a difficult goal discipline beats motivation. printify is more like: you gain some you loose some, but you gain and loose alot more than prontful. (If you loose with printful).
Printify: quick money or loose money if doing wrong. Printful: consistent slow growth
sounds like: commit to Printful, swing over to Printify for some good steals when needed.
Thanks for all this information.
Thanks for watching!
Super helpful video, thank you for taking the time to make it and help me make a choice.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this great video review. I was leaning towards Printify until i watched this. Just this past Monday i received 2 sample hats from Printify which cost me about $60. The hats i ordered where with velcro backing, which isn't my favorite personally because I'm into the flexfit hat myself but woman friends tell me they like the velcro ones for adjusting to their hair. I was not impressed with the embroidery hat you recieved. Quality is most important so I'm glad to have seen this video and also people's comments here mean alot as well. Thansk everyone, i am heading to Printful for samples now.
Did you get the samples from printful? If so how were they compared to printify?
@@darkirondiesel not yet. I'll be ordering next week.
@@xrpbodyguard Hello sir , did you get any samples from printful please let me know is it good or bad as compared to printify
I'm glad I chose Printful for my Shopify store.
I think I like these edits a lot
The issue with these comparisons is that you really can’t compare every single provider from printify… I guess since Printful does it all themselves it’s easier to compare but printify has so many providers that you can land on a good or a bad one so it’s kind of like trial and error….
Amazing video! Thank you! Now I know that Printful is the way to go.
It was good information and I like to see comparisons. The one thing you touch a little on but can be a significant issue is selling internationally. I would never select an international supplier unless the item was very unique, because of time and shipping cost. I thought it was a little miss leading selecting the Latvia supplier when there were several others in the USA that would have been more comparable. All in All good information and advice about ordering samples.
Thanks for the feedback! We will take this into consideration in future POD supplier videos
Indeed - actually made me wonder whether Printful pays higher affiliate comissions as this came across somewhat biased which is not great in terms of credibility. Matter of fact I have no idea - this and a few other less- objective clues just sort of triggered my bs radar (edit: spelling)
Could u do a video on optimizing shipping and packaging
Nice video. Just keep in mind that in the average production time 2.9 doesn't mean it will take 2 to 9 days to produce. It means it will take almost 3 days on average to produce it.
Very good, thanks, i read a couple reviews about Printful, people say their products sometimes are bigger like a got M polo, but it was like a L size and to thin that i could see the back of the embroidered logo, and i read a lot of reviews like that, what you think?
yo have the same issue I had. You can only upload one image at a time. I made a tool to fix this issue (only on Printify).
Just starting. Thank you for this. My products disappeared from Printify & I’m pissed.
Thanks for sharing. I am not using either. I am using teespring. People are asking about the products customers are wearing because they want to buy too. I will try printful and printify and a couple others and see the differences. Do you have any reviews on other print on demand websites? Comparing them to each other?
I prefer awkward styles over printful, it's so much cheaper and the quality is amazing.
So I ordered a few things from both and Printiful's clothing and apparel had a horrible smell. Definitely needed a few washes to get the smells out. With Printify I've had shipping issues that are harder to resolve then I thought it would be
I’ve not had that problem with Printful before, but I suggest an extra rinse cycle with white vinegar for fabric softener for any odors on clothes.
Thank you
Excellent video, thank you!!! but can you suggest me good embroidered sweatshirt suppliers in 2024????
Thanks for sharing, Which are the most profitable products to sell in 2024?
Printful versus Pritify versus GELATO! Throw Gelato into the mix and review that one please.
Great video, thank you! I'm curious to see how this work in a store setting with Woo or Shopify. Do you get a drop ship link for each product and variation?
Printful works great in Woo.
Great video! Thank u 😊 My question to you is, what are the indicators on Printful that help you figure out the better quality items? Cause there are a tone to choose from, but they are not all created equal, even on a great site like Printful. Thanks for any tip on that 😊
There's customer reviews with photos in the catalog
Curious which of the blues was the correct logo color? I noticed at the end of this video that the logo appeared more like the Printify color, rather than the deep blue. I just had to ask 😂
Thanks for the info!! I'm still watching the video but I've a quick question, if someone could answer I'd really appreciate it. It may be a dumb question too, so apologies for that XD
So, if both sites have different products each that I want to sell, can I sell all of them together on my store's website? Or should I create two stores, one for Printful and another for Printify?
You can use both of them for the same store :)
Using a simple and less costly web page that has the quality you expect your customers to see as well as receive quality . And it’s better to simply have a working store that eatables a product that has success . Rather than a ton of products and so many details to figure out . Rather than focusing on the products and company supplies quality and mail cost all being found in one page less hassle less cost and links all being tied to one web page . That will not become a issue with any closing of ones account do to a possible difference in product number or other slightly difference web page info . That the platform may find using today’s automated AI rapid and total verification and information data scans that could take your web page down for a few days while reviewing the reasons and reinstatement process that some may even take longer than seven days . When a larger number of web stores are submitted especially when new upgrades are added to all the members With a verity of small hard to find reasons are needed to be identified in many reviewed web store review process .
Can you mark up the t shirts to increase profits? Where and how would someone do that? Thanks
You literally ordered the products... Great video🙂
Yeah now I have a bunch of mugs and sweatshirts I'll probably never use, but I think the video would be invalid without samples!
@@SantrelMedia love your dedication and honesty
I just signed up and forgot to click your affiliate link. How do I get you the credit?
What about Gelato? Any thoughts on that Mvs these two?
good bro!
Can you connect both to Etsy as i like some items from print full and some from Printify ….?
I'm curious about how taxes are done at the end of the year. Do they provide a 1099 like what Amazon does?
How about returns, do they go back to supplier or to your address and how is the money handle ? dose anybody know ?
Hi I really like your video. I tried to click on your free training but the website is not working it is saying error think? Maybe it is on my side?
My concern is that when my customers order they’ll receive orders in good box how does it packaged inside ?
I need a vs of printify and awkward styles please!
how about Gelato?
Do you have a video on how to connect Printful or Printify to your own website? Is Shopify required?
my printify catalog does not have that many product options. like those hats
Can you make a video about the manufacturer in printify and rate them by the quality and fast shipping and put them in one place and compare all of them
Isn't that what he just did? But Printify uses many different manufacturers that you can choose from, so he only tested a couple of them.
I didn't try Printify yet, but so far had bad experience with Printful with provider from Latvia, hoodies not centered and poor printing quality. So most important is finding a good printer and not the service provider itself.
Me too! I've been having the same complaints and issues with Printful lately. The quality of the garments, print quality and customer service have gone significantly downhill in the past year. Worse, there is absolutely no accountability! Getting them to issue a refund for their mistake is not even worth the trouble, because they just argue with you about how much they are allowed to be "off". It's so frustrating! I'm going to try out Printify to see if it's worth the switch.
hey did you try printing? I'm new to this and I am so confused on what to try and what not!! @@ceg2235
@@ceg2235have you switched yet?
@@faslckalamsahmet7855 I signed up with Printify and am slowly beginning to transition. It's going to take a while, since I have hundreds of listings. For all my new listings, I'm going to use Printify so we'll see how it goes! We're in February now and I'm still dealing with the same crap from Printful. Slow fulfillment times - now they say it's because of the weather. Whatever! I refuse to recommend them to anyone!
I thought Printful does not have different suppliers; they print everything themselves.
Great video! I'm brand new to e-commerce, so I most definitely subscribed to your channel! Let's do this! =)
do you ship internationally? do you think its better to avoid it because you will need to keep track of all tax regulations?
