> # Best print-on-demand services for online stores
> 
> Here's who I'd actually use, roughly in the order I'd consider them:
> 
> **1. Printful** - the default pick if you want your store to look like a real brand. No monthly fee, in-house fulfillment in the US, Europe and Mexico (2-5 business days), the best branding options (custom labels, packaging inserts, branded packing slips), and clean integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, Squarespace, etc. Base prices are higher than competitors - you're paying for consistency and control.
> 
> **2. Printify** - the pick if margins matter most. Base prices are noticeably lower on t-shirts, hoodies, phone cases and wall art, and the catalog is huge (900+ products vs ~300 for Printful) because it's a marketplace of third-party print providers. Trade-off: quality depends on which provider you choose, so pick a provider with high ratings and sample before you scale. Free plan works fine; Premium is $29/month for up to 20% off products, which pays off past roughly $150/month in orders.
> 
> **3. Gelato** - the pick if you sell internationally. It routes orders to local print partners in 30+ countries, which cuts shipping cost and transit time and avoids
