Printful
Printful provides print-on-demand production, fulfillment, and shipping for merchants’ custom products. Items are produced after a customer orders, so sellers do not need to purchase or warehouse inventory in advance; payment is due after an order. Its Design Maker includes tools and resources for designs and mockups, and listed production methods include direct-to-garment, embroidery, all-over printing, sublimation, and direct-to-film. The Free plan includes access to 563 custom products, unlimited stores, 10 Quick Stores, 22 ecommerce platform and marketplace integrations, and 24/7 customer support. Integrations include Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, Amazon, Wix, and TikTok Shop. Printful offers Android and iOS apps for confirming orders and managing a store, along with a REST API for orders, sales, mockups, and custom solutions. Fulfillment coverage is global, with orders shipped from the nearest fulfillment center; Printful says 86% are fulfilled in the customer’s region. Growth costs $24.99 a month and includes up to 33% off product pricing, plus a 14-day trial. Enterprise pricing is custom.
