Features, Pros & Cons – Forbes Advisor
As a full-service print-on-demand service, Printful offers a variety of key features for those looking to start a print-on-demand business. It includes a variety of connections, a catalog with over 230 items and an easy-to-use product editor where users upload their custom designs and place them on products. It uniquely offers more customizable product packaging than the competition and, of course, it includes direct shipping so that sellers never have to handle or ship products to customers.
Integrations and Sales Channels
While most print-on-demand services enable users to easily connect to major content management systems and online marketplaces, such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon and Etsy, Printful offers a much larger connection library than most. This makes it a particularly good choice for businesses looking to add custom-printed dropshipping products to their existing website as it connects to nearly all major platforms.

Product Catalog
Printful has a catalog of over 230 products. While this is not the largest product catalog on the market, it is still sizable, offering a wide range of items, such as clothing, footwear, tech accessories, wall art, tableware, candles, holiday decor, pet products and more. That said, most users will find that its selection is ample and it’s worth noting that what it lacks by way of selection, it excels in terms of product quality.
Packaging and Shipping
One area where Printful really shines is its vast array of customized packaging options that help uphold a business’s brand. For example, users can create white-label products with a custom in-shirt label so that instead of the shirt’s label saying, Hanes or American Apparel, it says your own brand or logo. Other options include a custom packing slip with your own brand and logo, customized order tracking and there are also custom packaging options available as well. With your custom packaging options created, Printful will then ship orders directly to your customers upon purchase.
