Printify’s Print Providers differ in several aspects, including the following:

• Location
• Product pricing
• Shipping rate pricing
• Available shipping methods
• Product models and color/size variants
• Print areas and their sizes
• Print Provider Performance Score
• Additional feature availability (e.g., packaging inserts)
• Printing equipment and printing methods

Even if they’re printing on the same garments and using the same print technology, each Print Provider will have conducted their own unique tests to achieve the desired color output.

How do I decide on which Print Provider to choose?

To assist in your decision-making process for selecting a Print Provider, consider the following questions:

• Which region or country is your intended target market (“Ship from” region)? Opting for a local Print Provider can result in reduced shipping costs and quicker delivery times for your customers.
• What is your preferred price range for products?
• How much are the shipping costs, both overall and to your target market?
• What shipping methods are available?
• What are your specific requirements for print area parameters and product color availability? Different Print Providers may offer varying options in these regards.
• What is the Print Provider’s Performance Score? This metric provides insights into three key performance areas of the Print Provider: Quality, Production Speed, and Samples & Shipping.
• Does the Print Provider offer any additional features, such as packaging inserts, gift messages, or neck labels?
