# Printful User Reviews

## Reviews summary

- Overall rating: 4.2/5
- Total reviews: 77

### Secondary ratings

- Ease of use: 4.3/5
- Customer support: 3.9/5
- Value for money: 3.8/5
- Functionality: 4.2/5

### Rating distribution

- 5 stars: 47 reviews (61%)
- 4 stars: 19 reviews (25%)
- 3 stars: 1 reviews (1%)
- 2 stars: 1 reviews (1%)
- 1 star: 9 reviews (12%)

### Most mentioned pros

- It’s dependable, the fulfillment times are reasonable, and I like knowing my customers are getting a quality product. If they streamlined a few of the navigation steps and improved communication from support, it would be close to perfect.
- The product quality is solid and consistent, and I really appreciate how intuitive most of the design tools and mockup generators are.
- The platform is very user-friendly, especially when it comes to designing products and syncing them with online stores.

### Most mentioned cons

- Additionally, some products have limited customization options, and fulfillment times can occasionally be slower during peak seasons, which may impact customer satisfaction.
- When I upload an image, I'm not able to edit the image with color contrasts, cropping, etc like you can in Gelato.
- I think there's a bit of a lack of transparency about pricing for digitizing files, and that really cuts into my profits.

My biggest issue is pricing and price transparency, as well as managing orders individually. I've had a few challenges with this that have cost me customers.

#### Ratings breakdown

I like the design tools, and especially make use of the "duplicate template" feature so that I can create custom shirts quickly and easily

I think the preview tool isn't great, and I wish it was easier to see samples of the designs - but often, they don't load properly

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 2/5

#### Pros

They worked perfectly fine in the beginning with my sample orders- colorful and crisp.

#### Cons

Once I placed a large order or shirts that I approved samples of more than half my prints were blurry. Costumer service has not address it well. I had to take individual photos of each item and provide an itemized list, to which some photos they blamed the fabric even though it’s no different than other shirts that printed clearly. They will not resolve it for me.

They were cheaper and easier to set up.

Print is a convenient and affordable way to get products from your printer, but they refuse to change their policies when it comes to customer-centricity. It means that Printful isn't fit with Amazon Stores because customers care about timely delivery as well!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It is not easy to find the perfect product for your company. You need something that will meet all of its needs, but it can be not easy if you don't know what exactly those are! Printful offers printing and shipping options to make this process easier on everyone involved - whether they're looking at one item or multiple hundred thousand units upfronts with us (and more!).

#### Cons

I can make changes on the go and never worry about running out of stock like with other sites. If someone wants a specific product badly, there could be weeks without availability before another one comes back into inventory. So these people will have been waiting quite patiently.

### Easy way to start "dropshipping"

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Beatriz M.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Retail
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2022

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

Printful makes customizing shirts, backpacks, coffee cups,and other items a breeze. They provide you with some stock designs that are pretty unique for being stock. They show you previews of the items along with the design you pick. It's stress-free, not having to worry about storing any inventory or shipping any of it.

#### Cons

I feel that the coffee cup designs are too small, there is also only two placement positions. An option of being able to cover the whole cup, would be great! Or even an option that gives the user the ability of where to place the design anywhere on the cup, along with the capability of sizing the design would be great!

### Small Business Owner

- Overall rating: 5/5

- Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: March 2021

Printful was my first contact with POD services. And I believe they are the leading company in this market, especially because of their easy-to-use online platform. Their software is intuitive and simple to learn. I didn't need any coding skills to connect it with my Shopify and Etsy shops.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Printful has seamless integration with both Etsy and Shopify. When I make a sale, they take care of everything for me. Their software is easy to use. Their mockups are precise.

#### Cons

I noticed a huge demand for a certain phone case model that Printiful does not offer. So I had to switch my entire phone case collection to a rival POD company that offers that.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Customer support: 3/5

#### Pros

Printful is a fantastic online portal that allows us to purchase clothes made by others while also allowing clothing makers to sell their wares on the site. The payment platform is excellent; I have made many orders and have been blown away by the performance and the manner in which we have been treated on the platform.

#### Cons

Printful has to be combined into another device so that customers can buy the products; otherwise, you'll have to manually enter the orders. This means that you will need to add another monthly expense to your company.

I liked Printful because it integrates with my Wix website and allows me to see everything that is taking place on the e-commerce side of my website. I also like Printful for the ability to brand my products with my company logo. I also like that Printful offers a variety of products on the market.

#### Cons

I didn’t like that I have to pay and upfront charge for embroidery features. Some of their products are a bit pricey and doesn’t give much room for profit markups.

### Great Software and POD Products, Terrible Order Management Policies

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Daniel L.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Retail

Printful delivers a good product but refuses to think about their customers' end customers and use common sense. This makes them unsuitable for use with Amazon stores, and undesirable for use if your customers care about getting their products on time.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Printful is easy to set up through Shopify, and even through WooCommerce, and they produce a pretty good product on average. The Amazon integration is nice to have, but does have some issues.

#### Cons

Printful has rules for fulfilment that often make zero sense and cause massive delays in product fulfilment. For example (and I've seen this dozens of times), if a particular shirt is out of stock in the US and won't be back in stock for three days, the smart thing would be to wait to fulfill the order when that shirt comes back in stock. What they will do instead, is fulfill that item from Europe. Then it gets shipped to their facility in the US. This adds ~14-35 days to the shipping time, depending on the shipping service used (not up to you). Then, the item gets shipped to the customer. That last few days of the process is what they count as their fulfilment time, allowing them to pretend they kept their guarantee. I had a client's Amazon account that was completely ruined by this. POD was a new, and relatively tiny part of the account - but the repeated delays prompted Amazon to heavily punish the account, and the client lost their business. The problem was discussed with printful and they refused to fix or even acknowledge the issue. They wouldn't even allow us to say we don't want items fulfilled from Europe.

### Convenience and easy start up, but low profit margins

- Company size: 51-200 employees

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Printful was a great tool to get our online Print-on-demand store off the ground. This helped our organization completely outsource production, inventory management and shipping/fulfillment. It's a self-running machine.

#### Cons

The profit margin with Printful is low. Since you are buying one item at a time, you're often making very low amounts per item when it all washes out with taxes and shipping. And some of the products really aren't the best quality.

I love printful. It's the best print on demand app out there. I have been using it for over 3 years now and have not have any complaints since. I would recommend to anyone to use this professional print on demand business.

It is easy to use and very user friendly. Information on the website itself is easy to understand with words and infographics added to minimize confusion. Live customer support is very helpful and the responds is quick. They go out their way to help out with queries. Also there are plenty of discount codes and monthly competition to win prices which is very nice.

#### Cons

Some products go out stock for a very long time and also the shipping prices for products has drastically increased.

Printful is one of several top-tier print on demand companies. They do things well, and have good print quality. However they are definitely more expensive than several other comparable companies and don't have a order rerouting option that other co's do.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Catalog is well laid out. It is easy to apply original designs to merchandise. The order process is seamless and works well with Wordpress (and presumably other platforms)

#### Cons

Integration with woo commerce could be a little more streamlined. Updating a product on Printful platform completely overwrites the product in my woo commerce store. Would be good if you could lock certain parameters.

#### Reasons for choosing Printful

I started with printful, but their costs were prohibitive.
