 In today's video, we're going to be covering everything that you need to know about print on demand drop shipping suppliers. We're going to be covering the top six best ones for you to start with and we're going to be comparing them so that way you can see which one ends up being more profitable and which one has the best quality print on demand products. Let's see. So to start, let's get one thing out of the way and what exactly is print on demand drop shipping? Well, typically speaking, there are two different types of print on demand. There's the type of print on demand where somebody places an order with you and you actually print that product for them. So you're either going to print their shirt, their hoodie, their cup, whatever product it is that they order, you're going to be the one that goes ahead and prints that actual product and then ships it to your customer. But that's not what we're going to be covering today. Today, we're covering print on demand drop shipping, where instead of you actually fulfilling the order, that order is going to be fulfilled by your print on demand supplier or your print on demand printer. So how exactly does it work? So let's say you have a shop on Etsy and you're selling this t-shirt, except it doesn't say out of the S. Let's say it has something for Valentine's Day. So let's say you're selling a Valentine's Day t-shirt on Etsy and somebody comes and places the order for it. They pay you $25, then that order instead of going directly to you is going to end up getting rerouted to your print on demand supplier. Now what they're going to do is they're going to go ahead and manufacture that product. They're going to print that t-shirt and then they're going to ship it out and update you with the tracking. As you can see, it's a very simple business model. It's pretty much the exact same thing as drop shipping, except it's customizable products. So all of the different products that you're going to be offering, you're going to be putting your designs on them. You have complete creative control. I am all powerful. Now a few benefits to actually starting with print on demand is for one, it's very easy to start. Honestly, the most complicated thing that you're going to have to do is create a design. But at the end of the day, you don't even have to do that. There's tons of different services out there that can actually help you get this done. There's websites like vexels where you can get print on demand ready designs. So that way, all you do is you purchase them or you purchase their yearly subscription and you download whatever images you want to use. There's also Canva, but beware that if you are using Canva, you need to have the pro subscription. The reason for that is because with the free account, you're limited to lower quality images, which means they're not going to print right on the garments or the products that you print them on. They're going to come out blurry or they're going to come out pixelated. And overall, it's just not going to look good. Print on demand is also extremely good to be able to actually establish your own brand. There's a lot of people that want to start their own t-shirt brand, their own clothing brand, but they don't know how because they either don't know how to print the garments themselves or because it's just too much work to actually get up and do everything yourself. It's a lot of work to print a shirt. It is a lot. It's a lot. Much less start an entire brand. So print on demand makes this part a lot easier. And best part, like I said, everything is outsourced. So you don't have to have any equipment. You don't have to have a heat press to be able to actually press down the shirts. You don't have to have suppliers for transfers. You don't have to have a t-shirt printing machine. You don't have to deal with any of that stuff. Now, one complaint that I have seen some people talk about is the quality of the products. But honestly, when it comes to the quality, you don't have to worry about that too much anymore because most of these new printing suppliers or most of these new prints on demand suppliers, for the most part, they all have some of the latest state of the art printers. So that way you can have high quality images on your prints. Now, at this point, honestly, the actual low quality images or the low quality prints comes from the print on demand store owner using bad quality images. So kicking off this list, the first prince on demand supplier we're going to talk about is AdoDS. That's right. AdoDS has joined the print on demand game and now you can customize your favorite products directly on the AdoDS platform. You're not limited to just dropshipping anymore. You know how the option to start a completely new business or add on to your existing business, whatever works for you. Now, for AdoDS, if you're not a member or if you're on the fence and you're not entirely sure if you want to join, you can start right now your trial period of two weeks for just one dollar. Now, taking a look at the print on demand system through AdoDS, we can see that there's tons of different items that you can customize. Of course, there's the ever popular t-shirt and hoodies, but there's also a lot more products as well. So for one, you have your basic shirts and hoodies, like I just mentioned, where you can print a design on either the front or the back or both. Aside from your standard shirts and hoodies, though, we also have fully printed apparel. Now, this is huge because a lot of prints on demand suppliers do not support this simply because it's a lot of work to do. So what that means is simply a t-shirt or a hoodie or any other product where you're going to print on the entire thing. So you're not limited to just one single print either on your chest or on the back. You can print on the entire garment. So let's say you're printing a hoodie, you can print on the entire hood throughout the whole front of the garment, throughout the whole back of the garment and even the sleeves. Aside from that, you also have some more unique products such as shorts. You have this right here, which is a double fleece cloak, which let me tell you are absolutely amazing. I have one and I love it. There's also different types of accessories such as phone cases, cups, mugs, tumblers, hats, and even masks. Home goods are another big one. So you have the option to print different types of posters or different types of prints and a few different types of decorations as well. So these right here are actually pretty unique. I haven't seen these with other prints on demand suppliers, but you have the option for these little lamps as well. Now, there's a lot more, but I'm going to show you one more, which is actually my personal favorite. I think that this product is absolutely insane, and this is going to be the one that I really start to customize because I think this one has a lot of potential and that is footwear. So with the AutoDS print on demand system, you have the option to customize and fully print on shoes. This is huge. I think this is absolutely amazing. This is something that not a lot of print on demand providers offer. So this is another thing that you need to make sure that you take advantage of. Now, customizing the product is also extremely easy. Once you select the product that you want to add your image to, all you have to do is go ahead and click on it and then click on edit product. Once you do that, you're going to get this screen and all you have to do is choose whether you want to print on the front or if you want to print on the back and then you're going to upload your design. So once we select our design, we just let it upload and there we have it. That's exactly what it's going to look like. Now, if you want to add a few more colors, just click on this and let's check it out in antique cherry red. And that's what it would look like. Now, as far as the shipping times, this is going to vary depending on the product and what shipping you actually choose. But for the most part, production time is going to take anywhere between two to five business days and shipping, again, that's going to vary, but it's quick because it's shipping directly from the US. So you can expect between one to two week shipping. Now, when it comes to where you can ship, you can pretty much ship wherever you want. You can ship throughout the entire world, but just remember, depending on which country you ship to, that can affect the prices, specifically with the shipping prices. It's not your harvest. It's your shipping costs. Another benefit that you have with working with AutoDS as your print on demand supplier is 24 seven customer support. So whenever you have any issues, if you ever have any questions, you can simply just reach out to us or submit a ticket and we'll get back to you as quick as we can. Aside from everything that I did just mention, though, one of the biggest benefits when it comes to AutoDS, I did mention this before, but I have to emphasize it is the fact that aside from print on demand, you're also getting the option for drop shipping. So you can really expand your store. You can expand your product offering. You can expand your overall customer base working with a supplier that does both print on demand as well as drop shipping is really going to help open you up to an entirely new demographic of people with all of the different options for products that you can now offer. So remember, if you want to check out AutoDS, if you want to give us a try, make sure you go on over to autoDS.com and start your trial right now for two weeks for just $1. Next up, we have Princeify. Now, Princeify is similar to AutoDS, except it has a few different features and a few other limitations. So for one, if you're using the free version of Princeify and you're not paying for their monthly subscription, you are going to have higher costs on all of your products. So if you purchase their premium subscription, whether that be monthly or yearly, you are going to have some better pricing on the different products that they offer. Now Princeify also offers a very wide selection of products ranging from t-shirts, hoodies, cups, shower curtains, which I think is a pretty cool one, home goods such as blankets and even office supplies like journals. Now, Princeify actually works with multiple printers. So you're not going to be working with just one printer on the Princeify platform. So whenever you create your item, one of the steps in it towards the end is going to be choosing your print provider. So what they do is they give you a list of different local companies that fulfill the print on demand orders. These companies are specific for print on demand and that's really all they do. So they're pumping out these different products left and right every single day. But because of that quality can be a bit iffy sometimes, especially if you choose the wrong provider. Sometimes certain products are going to be available with one provider, but they're not going to be available with another. So that in itself can sometimes cause a little bit of a discrepancy when it comes to product quality, depending on the company that's printing them. Now, like with any other print on demand supplier, you have the ability with all of these different products to really scale your business. The more products you add, the more products that are based around a specific niche that you add, the easier it's going to be to scale. Now, as far as their production and their shipping speed, it's typically going to be between two to seven business days. This is going to depend on the type of product that's being printed and the shipping speed as well. So for the shipping speed, they also do offer your basic economy as well as expedited shipping. Now, as far as their pricing, you have the option to have the free account, which you are going to have higher prices for each individual item. But if you choose to opt in for their premium account, that starts at $25 a month. Next up at number three, we have Printful. Now, Printful is pretty similar to Printify, except you don't get to choose the printer that you're going to be working with. Printful does everything for you. They have their own network of companies that do the printing for them, and they take care of all of that for you. So you don't have to choose a printer. You don't have to choose anything except for the products you want to sell and what designs you want to put on them. Now, Printful also has a free account along with their paid account. The free account is of course free, but you do have higher prices on your individual items. Now, if you opt in for their pro account, you are going to have lower prices on your everyday items, but you're going to be paying about $50 per month. Now, Printful does offer global shipping, so you're not going to be limited to a particular country or a particular region whenever you're starting your print on demand business or your brand. Now, as far as the different types of products that they offer, you're going to have your typical print on demand products ranging from different t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, hoodies, hats, home and living, as well as different types of accessories. Next up at number four, we have Spod. Now, Spod is one that's actually lesser known compared to Printify and Printful and AutoDS. One cool thing about Spod is the fact that they are completely free, so you're never going to have to pay a monthly membership, but with that also comes some higher prices for the different products that they offer. Now, Spod does offer you a 48-hour production time, so from the moment your customer places an order, within 48 hours or at least within two business days, that product will be printed and shipped out. Now, with this company, Spod, they have a few different printing methods compared to some of the other ones. So for the most part, generally speaking, prints on demand suppliers are going to have DTG, which is directed garment, which is pretty much just a literal t-shirt printer. You put your t-shirt in there, it prints on it, and you're all set. Another one that's very common is called sublimation, which is pretty much just where you print on a special paper using special ink, and then that gets transferred onto whatever it is that you're printing, whether that be a cup or a t-shirt or anything else, using heat. Now, those are the two main ones that pretty much everyone's going to use, but Spod uses a few other techniques, some of them being laser printing, one called special flex, and digital transfers. Now, that's perfectly fine and all, except for the fact that these don't last as long as the other forms that I had originally mentioned that most others use. So always be aware of that. The type of printing that they're doing, while some of them are going to be high quality and they're going to last a long time, depending on the printing method that they end up printing your garment with, that's going to really depend on how long the actual print is going to stay on the shirt, on the cup, or whatever product it is. This can get a little bit complicated, especially if you don't fully understand the different types of printing methods, but just know that the more printing methods that they use, it's not always going to necessarily be the best, just because some are going to be better quality than others. So always try to stick with the same type of printing so you have consistent quality. All right, next up on number five, we have JetPrint. Now, JetPrint is another service that is completely free, but again, with a free membership comes higher prices for the products, but they have a pretty diverse range of products as well. And on top of everything, they actually offer embroidery, which is something that most prints on demand suppliers do not. JetPrint also has a blog with tons of different resources that you can use to your advantage. And they also have some pretty fast production times, especially from one that's completely free. So typically for production time, you can expect anywhere between three to seven business days. Now, of course, that doesn't include shipping, shipping is also going to be an extra couple of days, depending on the type of shipping that's selected. Now JetPrint is actually pretty limited until you actually connect it to a store. So until you connect it to your Shopify or you WooCommerce store, you're going to be very limited to what you can see and what you can actually do on there. So you're not going to be able to use JetPrint to simply just place an order for a product. You have to connect it to a store. Alright, the last one we're going to cover is at number six, and that's going to be Teapop. Now Teapop is pretty interesting because they are actually a French based supplier. All of their products are printed through a sustainable process, and they even offer white label packaging. So whenever your item ships out, you're not going to have to worry about anybody's branding being on that product except your own. Now Teapop is also another completely free platform, but once again, with a free platform comes higher expenses when it comes to your actual product costs. Now when it comes to Teapop, they don't have the most diverse range of products, but what they do have, they're focused solely on that. So they're very niche based. Generally speaking, you are going to have items for men, women, and kids. But aside from that, you're also going to have a few different types of accessories and home and decor. So just taking a look at a few of these, you can see that they have your basic shirts and apron. They have boxers. They have some kids supplies, a couple of different prints, your typical mugs, onesies, and a few tote bags. For the most part, this is going to be the types of products that you find on here. They're not going to have some of the more complex products. But like I said, they focus specifically on these types of products. So you're going to have some really good quality on them. Now as far as their production time, you can expect anywhere between two to 10 business days to get the item shipped. Okay, so now that we know some of the best print-on-demand suppliers, let's talk about which one is best for you. So personally, I would always recommend AdoDS for the simple fact that you're not limited to just print-on-demand. You have tons of different options when it comes to being able to start your print-on-demand business and include other products through drop shipping. So you have the potential for some really high profits. On top of that, you're able to ship for one around the entire world. Two, we offer some of the best prices when it comes to our products with print-on-demand and we offer some very unique products as well. Again, going back to those shoes, I think those things are absolutely awesome. Now, if you do want to try out AdoDS, remember you can check out the trial for just one dollar for two weeks. But if I had to choose a second place, I would go with Printify. I've used Printify in the past as well and I've never had any problems with them. The only thing that I do have a complaint about is the fact that some companies that you work with that offer different types of products than others are sometimes going to vary in quality. So the quality from one print manufacturer on Printify can be a little bit better than others. And then in our close number third spot, I would go with Printful. Now Printful is not my favorite, but compared to some of the other options on this list, it does rain supreme compared to teapop or jet print. Alright, so now what are some of the most trending and popular products in the print-on-demand business? Well, for one, you have your t-shirts. This is a classic when it comes to print-on-demand. Everyone is going to offer t-shirts. Now it's up to you to come up with some unique designs. You need to be a little bit different than others. Try to stand out above the rest and be unique. Don't be afraid to take chances, get some risky designs, see what you can come up with. As a quick tip when you're offering t-shirts, always offer a sizing guide. You want to make sure that your customers know that their shirts aren't going to fit, and each shirt or every brand of shirt fits differently. So you want to make sure that your customer knows what they're getting and that it's actually going to fit. Now the second product has to be mugs. So when it comes to mugs, you can have a mug for literally any occasion. You have a father's day mug, a mother's day mug, you have different types of colors, some with different types of themes, some for pet parents. But overall, when it comes to mugs, this is the perfect gift for pretty much anyone. Almost everybody drinks coffee. If not, they could drink tea. If not, they could drink hot milk. So a mug is a perfect gift that you can offer pretty much anybody. And it's always going to be a best seller when it comes to your print on demand store. Now as a quick pro tip when it comes to print on demand mugs, see if you can find your supplier that offers color changing mugs. This makes it a completely different and unique experience. So pretty much what happens here is whenever a hot liquid is poured into the mug itself, it'll start to change colors, or it'll actually reveal the real design. They're really unique. They're really fun. It's something really cool. Next up, we have tote bags. Now tote bags are probably one of the cheaper options when it comes to print on demand items. And these also make the perfect gift whenever somebody purchases in bulk. So a lot of the times when somebody places an order at my store, let's say four, six or seven different t-shirts. And I know right now you're probably thinking, who's going to purchase six or seven t-shirts? A lot of people. When it comes to print on demand, you can offer shirts or anything for any niche. Now in particular, I'm talking about baby showers. So when you offer baby shower or gender reveal shirts, typically the people that are going to purchase it are going to purchase one shirt for pretty much everybody in their family. They're going to have mom with a birthday boy or mom to be, dad of the birthday boy or dad to be, brother, sister, auntie, uncle, cousin, everybody. So that's why people purchase these in bulk. So what I end up doing is whenever they purchase more than let's say five or six, I'll throw in something like a free tote bag so they can just carry everything in it. And trust me when I say that customers absolutely love that. It gives them an extra little special touch and it makes them feel special. Now next up in our fourth spot, we have all over printed hoodies. Now hoodies themselves are extremely popular, but if you have the ability to print on the entire thing and customize the whole thing, you got yourself a best seller right there. People love hoodies, especially the ones that stand out. If you can customize something in the front, a different design in the back and a cool pattern down the sleeves, you have yourself a potential best seller on your hands. And the cool thing about hoodies is that you're not limited to just one style. You have zip up hoodies and you have your basic hoodies that you just pull over. And the last product we're going to cover is socks. Now, I know you're probably thinking socks, but yes, socks are a huge best seller on websites like Etsy. People love giving socks, especially custom ones or some with some fun designs or even some unique socks. I've seen some really, really funny socks out there that people absolutely go crazy for. Let me just give you an example of one that was my best seller at one point. So back when the elections were happening here in the US a few years ago, just so you know, when it comes to elections, I typically like to stay out of it because I don't like voicing my opinion because it's just too controversial. But when it comes to business or print on demand, these are absolutely huge hitters. Controversy when it comes to these types of products sells. People are not afraid to express their opinions, but aside from that, what I ended up doing is getting the candidates faces and putting them on the bottom of the socks. Now, why would I do that? Because then I can go ahead and make an advertisement of either me or anybody I know just walking around and just saying, oops, I stepped on crap. Now, I know that some people might not find that funny, but a lot of people did. And let me tell you, I made some pretty good money with those designs. Just as a quick pro tip, do with that whatever you want. But I'm letting you know right now, socks are a huge hitters. And those were our suggestions for the top print on demand suppliers and some of the best print on demand products to offer. What did you think of this video? Let me know down in the comments below. Let me know all of your thoughts when it comes to print on demand. I know this is something new that we're offering. A lot of you might not be used to this, but I'm telling you right now, this is an extremely lucrative business venture that you can just simply add to your existing business.
