If you’ve been following the print-on-demand (POD) world—or even dipped your toes in eCommerce—you’ve probably heard the big news: Printful and Printify are merging!
The two giants in the POD space have decided to team up, and the eCommerce world just got a whole lot more exciting.
For my new online entrepreneur friends, print-on-demand (POD) is a business model that lets you create and sell custom products—like t-shirts—without ever worrying about inventory. Here’s how it works: when a customer places an order for that hilarious “Life is short, but my lashes aren’t!” tee (lol), the print-on-demand company handles everything—printing, packing, and shipping the product directly to your customer. All you have to do is design the product and market it. No need to store inventory or deal with the logistics—just creativity and sales!
It now makes sense, right?
So, what does that mean for me and the rest of you, beauty bosses?
Well, let’s break it down and see why this is a game-changer for anyone in the custom merchandise business.
Pintify and Printful Merger – What’s the Deal?
Printful, known for its in-house production quality, and Printify, with its network of 85+ third-party print partners, are now on the same side.
Think of it as getting the best of both worlds: more products, better POD fulfilment solutions, and even faster service.
I feel this merger opens up new opportunities for your eCommerce growth strategy.
How Does This Help Your Print-on-Demand Business?
Running a print-on-demand business can feel like juggling a thousand things at once. Between finding the right niche, creating designs, and managing orders, there’s a lot on your plate. This merger? It’s like having a personal assistant for your business.
Here’s what’s in it for you:
- More Product Choices: From custom apparel to niche items, you’ll have access to a broader selection of products for your custom merchandise business.
- Improved Fulfillment: Faster shipping times and better POD fulfilment solutions mean happier customers and more five-star reviews.
- Expanded Reach: With a combined global network, your products can now reach new markets faster than ever.
What the Printful and Printify Merger Means for You
Not much will change on the surface! Both Printful and Printify will keep their separate platforms. —you still get to enjoy each one’s unique vibe, but now with added perks.
Why This Merger is Great for Sustainable eCommerce
If you’ve read my previous post on starting a print-on-demand business, you know I’m passionate about sustainability in eCommerce. One of the coolest things about this merger is its potential to reduce overproduction. Instead of mass-producing products that might never sell, Printful and Printify’s combined resources will make print-on-demand production platforms more efficient, helping you scale your business without waste.
That’s a win for your wallet and the planet.
