## The answer, as recorded

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Printify** - my default starting point for most stores. Free plan, no monthly fee, and it's a marketplace of 100+ independent print providers, so you can pick a supplier per product by price, location, and quality rating. Lowest base costs of the big three because those providers compete with each other. The tradeoff: quality consistency is on you, since you're picking the printer - always order samples from two or three providers before committing. Premium plan (~$29/mo) gets up to 20% off product costs, which pays for itself at modest volume.

> 
> **2. Printful** - the one I'd pick if the brand matters more than the margin. They print in their own facilities, so quality and color are far more consistent order-to-order, and the white-label stuff is genuinely good: custom neck labels, inside/outside tags, branded packing slips, pack-ins. Also the best integration coverage (Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, Squarespace, Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop). Costs noticeably more per unit, and no monthly fee is required -
