How it sells itself

Looking to start a printed or embroidered t-shirt business? Or sell wall art or blankets from the comfort of your home? Do it with Printful—we’re a print-on-demand dropshipping supplier ready to support you every step of the way and take care of the boring stuff (you know, like fulfillment). We’ll print, package, and ship your products to your customers.

Launching a custom t-shirt brand normally means buying inventory upfront, renting a warehouse, and managing fulfillment yourself. ShipSagePrint removes all of that. Browse our catalog of in-stock blanks, drop your design into the live preview, and publish to your store with one click. When a buyer pays, we print, pack, and ship from our US warehouse within a few business days, then sync tracking back to your store.

Key points
  • Quick set-up. Connect to Printful and start selling fast.
  • Easy-to-use design tools for you to create or upload your designs.
  • High-quality products that will keep customers coming back for more.
  • Custom branding with packaging, pack-ins, packing slips, and more.
  • Upload artwork and preview every color on the t-shirt before publishing.
  • Publish to your store with one click — variants, media, and inventory all set.
  • Paid orders auto-route to our US warehouse for printing, packing, and shipping.
  • Live inventory sync from our US warehouse keeps your variants from overselling.
