When it makes sense
Pick Printful if
- You want branded labels or pack-ins in every parcel.
- You’d rather pay a little more than manage several print providers.
- Your best sellers are products where it ranks first in the list above.
- Many of your buyers are in the UK or EU, where Printful’s shipping costs well under Printify Choice’s.
Look elsewhere if
- Tees and hoodies at the low end of the price range are your main products.
- Your main products are mugs or kids tees: Printify leaves more on each of them.
