Let’s say you’re considering starting a print-on-demand (POD) business and have started researching your options. If so, you’ve probably come across a WELL of different print-on-demand services.
So, to help cut through the noise, I'm comparing two notable contenders: Teelaunch vs Printify.
However, if you don't have time for my entire Teelaunch vs Printify review, here shareholder data are the highlights:
Teelaunch integrates with Etsy (although it's not clear how straightforward this is), Shopify, WooCommerce, and Bigcommerce. In contrast, Printify integrates with several other ecommerce platforms, including Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Wix , Squarespace, and Walmart.
Teelaunch is free to sign up and use with no monthly fees. In contrast, although Printify is free to sign up and use, it also offers two paid subscription plans beyond its freemium version.
Teelaunch doesn't offer volume discounts on products, while Printify does, but you have to sign up for a paid plan to access them.
Teelaunch has printing and fulfillment partners in the US, Canada, Australia, UK and Spain. Printify also has global printing partners but boasts a wider network that includes the US, Canada, UK and Australia, but also South America, the Czech Republic, Germany, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia and China.
That being said, let's dive right into the Teelaunch vs Printify comparison:
How does Teelaunch work?
Teelaunch's website tells me that it uses technology to connect e-commerce stores with its POD partners around the world.
Registering with an email, password, store name, and phone number is easy and free.
Once you have your account, simply connect Teelaunch to your online store and start customizing products according to your list.
Teelaunch’s print-on-demand product catalog is 300+ strong and organized into the following categories:
Accessories
Clothing
Glass
Household goods
Jewelry
Kitchenware
Lifestyle
Office
Pets
Wall Art
Sports

While I could browse the Teelaunch product catalog without an account and view details about each product, including shipping prices, I couldn't start customizing without signing in.
Some categories, such as jewelry, only offer a limited selection of products. In contrast, the widest selection of POD items can be found in the clothing, sports, and wall art categories.
At this point, it is worth emphasizing that the clothing products are branded. For example, American Apparel, Bella, Champion, and District.
When I went to customize, I clicked on the product I wanted to design (once I had registered an account). As you can see, I went for the Champion Hoodie.

When it comes to product design, you need to have your artwork ready to use and sized according to Teelaunch’s specific requirements. These vary depending on what you’re designing. For clothing, for example, you’ll need to upload PNG files. For other products, Teelaunch includes templates that you can edit. For example, when designing a bath mat, I could add my own image or download and edit a Teelaunch template for that product.
However, you can't edit your design in Teelaunch; you can only upload it and place it in predetermined locations or use the template provided.
In any case, when you are designing, you can view the specific product design guides for the respective product.
