0:02 You are losing money and you don't even
0:04 realize it. You chose a print-on-demand
0:07 company because it was easy or popular
0:09 or cheap. But what if I told you that
0:12 choice could be the reason your Etsy
0:14 shop is not scaling or worse, why your
0:17 customers are leaving bad reviews?
0:20 Today, I'm ranking the 23 mostus print
0:23 ondemand companies from S tier down to
0:25 F, and I'm revealing the five hidden
0:28 gems that nobody talks about. Trust me,
0:29 you'll want to save this video and
0:31 subscribe for more videos like this.
0:33 Here is how I ranked them. First of all,
0:36 speed. Do they ship in 2 days or 2
0:39 weeks? Next, product range. Are we stuck
0:41 with t-shirts or can you also sell
0:43 sneakers and silk scarves? Next was
0:46 print quality. Will this survive a wash
0:49 or will it fall apart? Next is the cost
0:51 to the seller. And just to keep in mind
0:52 here, these are honest opinions. So,
0:54 let's get into it. We're going to start
0:56 with the S tier, which is the gold
0:57 standard. The first print on demand
1:01 provider is Printify Premium. They have
1:02 fast shipping if you use the right
1:05 suppliers as well as dirt cheap costs
1:07 with the premium plan. And I have
1:09 clients in my program who do over
1:12 $200,000 a month simply with Printify
1:13 Premium. All right, the next one is
1:15 Printull. Now, if you care about
1:18 presentation and branding, this could be
1:21 your go-to. They are fast, reliable, but
1:23 a little bit pricier. The next one is
1:26 Printed Mint. This can make an order
1:28 feel like it's coming from Anthropology.
1:30 They have gorgeous tissue paper, branded
1:32 notes, and it's perfect for shops that
1:34 want to feel more boutique like. Now,
1:36 we're going to move into the A tier.
1:38 First, we're going to start with Gelato.
1:40 Now, Gelato has a global reach, which is
1:42 amazing for international sellers. If
1:44 you want to sell globally with your
1:46 print on demand listings, they also have
1:48 some really unique products that you
1:49 cannot find elsewhere. A plus for
1:52 uniqueness. at Pleique offers an amazing
1:53 opportunity for private labeling,
1:55 streetear vibes, and really with this,
1:57 you're not selling a product. You can
1:58 actually be selling a brand. The next
2:00 one would be awkward styles. They're, I
2:02 would say, a little bit underrated,
2:03 pretty solid for apparel. The next one
2:06 is Teapop. If being eco-friendly matters
2:08 to your brand, then this is a good
2:10 option for you. Now, the last one on the
2:13 A tier is Lulu. I love recommending Lulu
2:15 for people who are wanting to get into
2:17 books, printed, bound coloring books or
2:19 maybe even customized like photo albums,
2:22 things like that. Lulu has many great
2:23 options for that and the quality is
2:24 pretty good. Now, let's take a little
2:26 bit of a value dip here. We're going to
2:28 go to the B and C tiers with some
2:32 warning stories. SPOD or Spa. They are
2:35 great for fast fulfillment like scary
2:37 fast fulfillment but the product variety
2:40 is so so fast fulfillment not the best
2:42 product variety. All right. The next one
2:44 is Teespring. Now Teespring is great if
2:47 you have an audience but for Etsy you
2:48 will struggle. Now the next one is
2:50 T-Mill. T-Mill is great for
2:52 sustainability but less customizable.
2:55 The next one is Custom Cat and Fuel POD
2:57 which are both pretty budget friendly
2:59 but you do get what you pay for. And the
3:01 next one is Guten. Now, this is where we
3:03 kind of can start to dip a little bit.
3:05 Shipping is a little inconsistent. Um,
3:09 the print quality varies wildly and you
3:11 might waste more time fixing issues. I
3:14 had one client named Janette who had a
3:16 total nightmare with Guten. So, you
3:18 might run into a lot of headaches and
3:20 the customer service has not been the
3:22 best. All right, the next one is Jet
3:25 Print. Now, for watches and shoes, very
3:28 cool, but delivery times from China, not
3:30 so cool. Now, we're going to talk about
3:33 the next tier, and this is the F tier.
3:35 Maybe you've had great experiences with
3:37 this tier, which is great. Happy for
3:39 you. If you're feeling like taking a
3:42 risk and looking at options, go for it.
3:44 But I do not recommend using these
3:46 specifically for Etsy. Zazzle,
3:48 Redbubble, Society 6. These are not
3:50 printon-demand providers. These are
3:52 really marketplaces. You don't own your
3:55 customers. You don't build a brand. And
3:57 I've seen too many people thinking
3:59 they're building a business when they're
4:01 really just uploading art to someone
4:03 else's store. Now, here is for the good
4:06 stuff. The print ondemand companies that
4:08 hardly anyone knows about. I'm going to
4:10 give you five of our favorites. The
4:13 first one is Contrad. We love Contrad
4:15 for many reasons, but you can get silk
4:18 scarves, wallpaper, leather bags. It's
4:21 really high-end and incredible for
4:23 boutique brands to use without having to
4:26 invest in that inventory. The next one
4:28 is Kin Custom. Now, if you're looking
4:30 for things like trendy bomber jackets or
4:33 crop tops or travel bags, Kin Custom is
4:36 great for that. And branding is included
4:38 and it's amazing for lifestyle creators.
4:41 The next one is Yicole, which has hooded
4:44 blankets, custom shoes, aprons. It's
4:46 fulfilled in China but super cheap and
4:49 it's really good for testing trends. The
4:51 next one is Perfect House. This is great
4:53 for personalized pet gifts which is a
4:55 very emotional niche, high converting
4:58 Etsy gold you could say. And then the
5:00 next one is this new. Now, if you want a
5:02 print on demand provider that sells car
5:04 accessories and jewelry boxes, this is
5:06 your playground. But you'll want to make
5:08 sure with this new that you are vetting
5:10 the quality. Now, if you're asking which
5:12 one should I use, here's your cheat
5:15 sheet. Do you want scale and control?
5:17 Then Printify Premium. Do you want an
5:20 amazing unboxing experience? Then I
5:22 recommend Printed Mint. Do you want
5:24 global shipping? Then I recommend
5:25 Gelato. Now, do you want something
5:28 that's really in fashion and trendy?
5:30 Then a pleique and kin custom. Maybe you
5:32 are doing the pet niche, then you'd want
5:34 Perfect House. And maybe you're doing
5:37 like a novelty shop with really unique
5:39 products. Then Yicole and this new have
5:41 good options for you. our top
5:42 printon-demand sellers, they are
5:45 typically using four to six different
5:47 production partners. So, don't feel like
5:48 you have to choose just one. And we have
5:51 seen some amazing transformations when
5:53 people change over their printon-demand
5:54 provider. Typically, what happens is if
5:57 you're using one that is not the best,
5:58 when you make changes, your reviews will
6:00 go up, fulfillment time will drop in
6:02 half, your profitability can increase
6:04 significantly, and it can give you also
6:07 more price flexibility, especially in Q4
6:08 when that will matter. So, from this
6:11 video today, I want you to look into
6:13 some of these print-on-demand providers
6:14 that maybe you haven't been using yet.
6:16 I'm also going to link in the
6:18 description and in the comments a Google
6:20 sheet that gives you a full
6:22 comprehensive comparison of all these
6:23 printon-demand providers. And then I'm
6:25 also going to give you a little mini
6:26 guide template so you can see everything
6:28 ranked clearly so you don't waste any
6:30 time with your print on demand business.
