Printful is a website that allows you to take any digital design
and print it on to a t-shirt.
I like them for a few reasons
1 - They have high quality shirts to choose from
2 - Their quality is consistent. I'm wearing something I got from printful here.
This is embroidered on a hoodie and it looks sick.
You can grab that at wohello.com.
And 3 - It's really easy to use.
So in today's video I want to go through Printful and go over my thoughts.
Here's why I like Printful and what it's good for and possibly what it's not good for.
I have very few negative things to say about Printful right now.
So let's talk first about creating products.
I'll give you a little bit of context here.
I run a Wohello, which is an apparel brand and all of our shirts here are
delivered through Printful.
Printful makes it pretty easy to design clothes
and then put them right into the store.
And actually, it integrates directly with Shopify,
which is what we use for our storefront.
And what we're able to do is
Create a certain Printful, Click order and have it made within seconds if we want it.
I'll show you how quick that is in a second.
But it integrates right with our store
and we'll create something in Printful and then it'll be here ready to go,
with mock-ups, automatically
and then, you know, go and I'll take another picture usually of the real shirt
Once we get it, that's it. So that's that's how easy it is to integrate with Shopify. I love that.
Let me go through the shirt creation process.
This is part 2 of 'How to turn an image into a vector'.
We'll link down in the description below if you want to see that.
But where we are in this shirt creation process is
I drew this drawing.
I decided that this one - maybe a good shirt but not for right now.
We're only going to use this guy on the left.
I put it into the old MBP - MacBook Pro. Shout out to Tim Cook
The worst CEO in Apple history.
Shots fired on Tim Cook.
So got the drawing, turned it into a vector, so I'll show you how easy this is
to put it into Printful. Save it -> open it up in Photoshop.
So we have the image in Photoshop. I'll just export it as a PNG really quick.
Then we go over to Printful and they make this so easy.
I usually go to stores.
I've got Wohello here and they have all the products listed out
and you can just add a product, pick the type of shirt I want.
Almost all of our Wohellos are printed on American Apparel.
They have so many other options here
including one other thing I love which is - embroidered hoodies and you can just
print on these hoodies but I love the embroidered ones because what Printful
is really good at is turning these digital images into high quality embroidery.
Look at that. Not a stitch out of place that I didn't purposely want out of place.
And this one too, they took a digital design and that layering was all them.
This top part was all them deciding what to do just based on a simple vector.
Very easy. So we've got a white American Apparel here.
I'll just grab this design. we have all our other older designs here.
There's the digital version of that Beast graphic so you can see it before it turned into embroidery
and then I'll just put on Robin
I love it. It's just drawn on like this. Big Fan. I'll just pop it up here.
See how easy this is, a little sketch up here. Some people put their designs like way up in the corner.
Let's put mine like right here.
Keep it small, keep it simple. Maybe a little bigger and that's it.
if we wanted to put something on the left sleeve, if you wanted to put this design here, you can do that.
Right sleeve. They'll let you print on the back, in
front of the shirts, and then embroidery like we talked about before.
They'll let you do mock-ups, I just like wrinkled mock-ups, but they'll let you women's,
men's, whatever you need.
Jpeg and then you write the description the same way.
I'll go over to Wohello and we'll just copy this one, its skelton.
Another way we do and I'll just grab this
'White cotton Jersey T-shirt is printed the front with a faded red and black
original portrait' and then I'll just name it here, this one's called Robin.
I'll remove the size guide, but they have a size guide here. The reason I remove it
is because I copied to their sizing guide and I put it on our site up at the top.
So we don't need that, and then you set the pricing, it has the Printful
price and then you just set your retail price here, all of our shirts at
Wohello are $32 so they make this pretty easy, you can either set your profit
margin, let's say you want like a 50% profit margin and it'll set the prices automatically.
Or if you're like me, you just want standard pricing, you just set that here
Very easily, then, you publish product, you can put it in whatever
collection you want automatically. This syncs up with Shopify directly, submit
to store and in catalog. There it is Robin, right there, in the store, that easy.
I'll show you one more thing. This is how the shirts come from Printful, they're
packaged, they have this tag on them and this is Skelton.
So you can see here in the mock-up how it looks and then you can see the actual shirt.
Notice the quality here is high, it's been checked multiple times for quality
Which is what I love with Printful versus something like
Teespring and this is printed on here to last. This will last so many washes, and I
know because I've washed these shirts so many times.
For instance, something like Teespring where you're gonna get cracked and faded shirts and inconsistent quality
and that's just 100% based on all of the testing I've done.
Recently when I did a Wohello breakdown I tested Teespring
and we ordered three shirts and all three had errors. I've not had a single
error from the 30-40 shirts we ordered through Printful. I love that. Skelton.
We'll have links to all these products if you want to grab them down below in the description.
If you have any other questions on printing or anything like that,
let me know down in the comments. Share this video If you think someone would get value from it
and I'll also link a couple helpful videos down below
if you're into this sort of thing. Parts one and two of launching Wohello
I'll link down below, you can learn about how we reached out to influencers, how we
created the idea, and then also part one of this video which is 'How to turn an image into a vector'
