8 Best Print on Demand Companies of 2026

Printful is the safest first choice for a creator or new brand because it makes the products itself instead of routing orders to a marketplace of outside printers. Every order, on the free or paid plan, goes through in-house production and a 3-step quality check, and Printful covers a free reprint or refund when a manufacturing error occurs. The free plan already includes 603 custom products, unlimited stores, 10 Quick Stores, the Design Maker and Mockup Generator, and selling through 20+ ecommerce platforms and marketplaces. Printful says 86% of orders are fulfilled in the same region as the customer. Printful Growth costs $24.99 per month, takes up to 33% off product pricing and 25% off samples, and becomes free once you reach $12K a year in sales. Extras add up: inside labels are $0.99, outside labels $2.49 and embroidery digitization $2.95 to $6.50 per design. Sellers chasing the lowest base cost on basics may find more options on Printify.

Printify works differently from Printful: it is a marketplace that sends each order to one of 70+ independent print providers across 140+ print facilities or fulfillment centers. That gives it the largest catalog on our list at 2,000+ products and lets you pick a provider per product for the best base cost. Printify says every provider is vetted and ranked on print quality, speed and shipping, and Merchant Protection covers a free reprint or refund within 30 days for manufacturing errors. The free plan allows 5 stores per account and unlimited product designs, with integrations for Shopify, Etsy, eBay and more and 24/7 merchant support. Premium costs from $24.99 per month billed yearly or from $39 billed monthly, and adds up to 20% off all products, up to 33% off new products, AI Mockups and 10 stores. The trade-off is consistency: two products in one store can come from different printers, so order samples from each provider you use.

Gelato is built around local production: it sends each order to the production partner nearest to the customer and lists production in 32 countries, which helps a brand whose buyers are spread across the US, Europe and beyond. Gelato says there are no upfront costs, no commission and no minimum orders; you pay for the product and shipping when an order comes in. The free plan connects 2 ecommerce stores with 2 account users and covers selling on Shopify, Etsy, via API and Order Desk, plus free product mockups and 24/7 customer support. Gelato+ costs $19.99 per month billed annually or $29.99 billed monthly and unlocks up to 33% off products, unlimited stores and users, 100+ million premium stock photos, 800+ premium mockups and AI tools such as Magic Mockups, Instant Collections and Price Navigator. Branded labels and packaging inserts are available for posters, with inserts and labels from $0.49 each. The catalog leans toward wall art, cards and calendars as much as apparel.

Fourthwall is the most complete option for a creator who has an audience but no store. Instead of plugging into Shopify, it gives you a fully customizable hosted shop, handles customer support, and acts as Merchant of Record, so it collects and remits sales tax for you. Catalog products carry a publicly listed flat fee deducted from your selling price, self-sourced products carry a 0% fee, and digital products and memberships carry a 5% flat fee. US card transactions add a 2.9% + $0.30 processing fee. The free plan has no monthly fees, upfront costs or contracts and covers promo codes, giveaways, memberships, analytics and selling on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Pro costs $15 per month billed yearly and adds $120 of free shop credit every year, priority 24/7 support, a free .store domain, unlimited team members and no fees on digital products. Brands that already run a Shopify or Etsy store will get more from Printful or Printify, which fulfill into the store you have.

Spreadconnect is the print on demand fulfillment service run by the team behind Spreadshop, and spod.com now redirects to it, so this is where former SPOD sellers land. Its pitch is speed: it produces and ships orders within 48 hours and says that holds for 95 percent of orders. It is free of charge, with zero costs or fees for setting up and running your shop; you are invoiced only for the product and shipping on each order and keep the margin you set. The catalog covers 250+ products, from T-shirts, hoodies and sweatshirts to mugs, caps and accessories, printed with digital printing, sublimation, DTF and flex and flock methods. Integrations cover Shopify, TikTok, WooCommerce, OrderDesk, Magento, Squarespace and Shopware, plus an API, and Amazon and eBay through Order Desk. The limits are range and scale perks: there is no paid tier with volume discounts and far fewer product types than Printify or Gelato.

Gooten stands out for what it sells rather than how it prices: it lists 200+ exclusive custom products, including custom woven items, scented candles, kitchen and tabletop accessories, 100+ poster and print sizes, and drinkware from brands such as Klean Kanteen and Viking. That makes it a useful second supplier for a store whose apparel already comes from Printful or Printify. Gooten is free to use with no upfront or hidden fees, and you are only charged when a customer buys. It connects to Shopify, where it is a Shopify Plus Certified App Partner, plus Etsy, TikTok Shop, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and a custom API, and products marked Worldwide ship almost anywhere. The weak spot is speed: Gooten says production and shipping can each take 2 to 5 business days. It also publishes no paid tier with product discounts, and much of its site is pitched at enterprise and SMB accounts, so a solo creator gets fewer self-serve tools than on Printful or Gelato.

Prodigi is the print specialist on this list. Its catalog of 250+ products, which it says covers more than half a million variants, runs from fine art prints, framed prints, canvas and metal prints to stationery, homeware and apparel, which suits artists, photographers and museums more than streetwear labels. The Core account is 100% free to use and includes 50% off the first sample order, complimentary branded packing slips, free 3D product mockups and email and live chat support. Every order ships in fully white-label packaging, so buyers see your brand. Orders come in through integrations with Etsy, Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, Wix and BigCommerce, a print API, a manual order form or a CSV bulk importer. Prodigi Pro adds 15% off products (10% off apparel) and 75% savings on custom packaging inserts. Its price is shown in GBP on the page we checked, so we list the USD price as pending.

Apliiq is for a clothing brand that wants its print on demand pieces to look like retail stock. Alongside DTF, DTG and embroidery on demand with no minimum, it offers private labels that replace the manufacturer tag, woven labels, neck prints, patches and cut and sew details such as pocket tees and liner hoodies. That branding is where Apliiq beats the bigger generalists. It also gives a growth path with one supplier: screen printing from 12 pieces per color, bulk orders, and a warehouse service that stores bestsellers and packaging and ships in 24 to 48 hours. Stores connect through Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy and Wix apps or the Apliiq API. A free account gets you started, and the Apliiq VIP membership saves 20% on dropship orders, while an unlimited digitization membership removes digitization fees. Membership prices were not shown on the pages we fetched, so we list pricing as pending. The catalog is apparel and accessories only, and the options take more setup than Printful.
