## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-10 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## The short list
> 
> **1. Printful** - my default recommendation if the store matters more than the margin. In-house production across its own facilities means print quality and sizing stay consistent order to order, plus real white-label options (inside labels, packing inserts, custom packaging). No monthly fee. The trade-off is the highest base prices of the big three, so your retail price has to support it. ([comparison](https://www.printful.com/ca/blog/gelato-vs-printify))
> 
> **2. Printify** - best for margin and catalog breadth. It's a broker across ~80+ print shops with 900+ products, so base costs on tees, hoodies, phone cases and wall art run below Printful's. Free tier works fine; Premium at $29/mo gets up to 20% off products and pays for itself past roughly 20-30 orders a month. Catch: quality varies by which provider you pick, so order samples from *the specific shop* before you commit, and set a backup provider for each product.

> 
> **3. Gelato** - the one to pick if a meaningful share of your buyers are outside the US. Local production in 30+ countries means an EU or AU order prints near the customer: cheaper shi
