Our two cents..

SunFrog

If you’re looking for a large-scale print on demand company equipped with all the latest technology, SunFrog is at the top. SunFrog offers a wide range of product options on which you can print your design. Not just printing, the company has recently introduced its laser engraving machinery that allows you to bring your merchandise and giveaways to the next level. 

SunFrog has over 51–200 employees working in their office who fulfill orders at optimal quality according to customer expectations. The company currently offers to print on metal water bottles (laser engraving), caps, T-shirts, mugs, and masks printing (UV machines), leather, shirts, and flags printing (manual sewing machines). Last but not least, they even offer custom sticker printing (Sublimation).

These alternatives make SunFrog one of the greatest mid-level print on demand services in the USA and Europe. To get their service, all you have to do is write them an email, explain what kind of product you want, the quantity, and your design (you can upload a PNG, SVG, AI, or PSD format file). A SunFrog representative will reply with a quotation within 21 hours.

Pros

• Medium-scale state-of-the-art printing machinery
• Low-cost and suitable for medium-scale businesses
• Fast turnaround times

Cons

• Minimal choice of products (about 4-5 white-labeled options)
• Not suitable for large-scale FMCG and pharmaceutical companies

Teefury

Teefury is more than an average print on demand service, as its primary focus is on gaming customers. Their dedication to printing anime, graffiti, movies, manga, comics, and video game characters is remarkable. It’s not a secret that their main goal is to fascinate youngsters with fancy merchandise and unique products.

Talking about the variety and features, it’s almost impossible to cover all of them. However, you can find some of the highlighted ready-to-print designs such as Super Mario, Pokemon, PUBG, Fortnite, Anabelle, Money Heist, GTA V, CyberPunk, and Asphalt 9 already available on their website.

Pros

• Focus on entertainment and video gaming niches
• Pre-designed prints of almost all the latest video games and movies
• Ideal for a large-scale IT-based company
• State-of-the-art printing machinery on a large scale

Cons

• It is not suitable for FMCG and pharmaceutical companies

Threadless

Whether you want to sell custom-designed mugs, t-shirts, pillows, cushions, hoodies, masks, gloves, shoes, etc., Threadless provides endless arrays of items; they’ve got every print on demand product that you can imagine. Moreover, just like other similar companies, they’ll print your own branded products for an additional cost. You can use this merch as merchandise, giveaways, gifts to customers, or in any other way you want.

Threadless is one of the few services that allow printing on irregular or difficult-to-reach product sides. Some examples may be printing on the inside of water bottle caps; side handles of the cup, the collar of the t-shirt, stitching on the wallet, etc. It’s all possible due to their state-of-the-art printing technology, which delivers accurate printing quality and up-to-the-mark on even irregular or hard-to-reach surfaces.

Pros

• Large selection of products
• Threadless offers the most sales and promotions as compared with other POD companies listed
• One of the few services that allow printing on irregular or hard-to-reach surfaces
• Precise, durable, and up-to-the-mark printing

Cons

• High prices
• Shipping alone costs $40, which is prohibitively expensive for small and medium-sized businesses

DesignByHumans

Suppose you’re interested in a flexible and cost-effective print on demand company specializing in entertainment. In that case, e.g., the video gaming niche, movies, and DC Marvel niche products, DesignByHumans gets you covered. The best thing about DBH is its approach towards small-scale business owners. It provides valuable features, like no minimum order value, meager shipping fees, and decent print quality.

DBH is one of those few print on demand companies that uses highly advanced and industrial-grade printing machinery among all the other vendors. Its repertory includes UV printers, 3D printers, laser engravers, plotters, vinyl printers (PVC Embossers), and regular sewing machines. We’re not talking about 30 or 80 machines; DBH uses hundreds of them in their factory to fulfill your order on time and provide top-notch quality. 

Among all the other companies mentioned in this article, this one offers the best print-on-demand for small-scale businesses.

Pros 

• Trending pre-designed prints such as DC Marvels, Squid Game, Money Heist, CyberPunk, etc.
• Meager shipping charges
• Tax filler products, so the buyer will pay less tax on their shipment

Cons

• Delivery outside of the USA takes about 40-50 days

AOP+

AOP+ is one of the best printing companies that specialize in hotel and FMCG print on demand items. It offers an extensive range of products which you can customize and re-design according to your needs. The company lets you create your own custom logo, change the product’s color and size, and even make extra tweaks and changes.

AOP+ employs every strategy possible to reduce third-party costs for business owners, such as postal mail rather than private couriers and tax filler products, to reduce the buyer’s tax on the product.

However, AOP+ doesn’t offer any pre-designed themes like other companies – you’ve got to submit your custom design and choose the item. Another thing we would like to add is that AOP+ doesn’t show what kind of products they offer. You have to contact them if you want to get a quote and the products they currently offer.

Pros

• Low prices
• Cost-efficient
• Fast shipping times

Cons

• There are no pre-designed themes or transparency on their website

JetPrint
