Are you in the e-commerce or customized products business and need to know which POD service suits your business best? 😊
If you are interested in selling personalized products with Customily, you may need help to decide which printing partner can help you offer the most comprehensive service.
Let’s compare two popular print-on-demand providers that can be easily connected to your Customily account: Gelato vs Printify.
Customily + Gelato
Integrating your Customily product customizer software account with Gelato's print-on-demand service offers several advantages:
Gelato has a global network of printing facilities in over 30 countries, allowing you to produce and ship products closer to your customers, reducing shipping costs and delivery times.
The integration of Gelato with Customily is easy and quick to set up and you can start selling customized products immediately. When your customers place orders on your site of products using the product personalization tool Customily, the printing files and order details are automatically sent to Gelato for production and fulfillment, so operations are more efficient, and manual work is reduced.
Gelato ensures consistent quality across its global network of production partners, so your customers receive high-quality products regardless of their location. It also offers a wide range of customizable products including apparel, wall art, stationery, and more. This variety of products can be enhanced with a personalized look thanks to Customily.
With personalized print-on-demand, there is no need to invest in large amounts of inventory. Products are made only when an order is placed, reducing costs. And, as your business grows, Gelato's network can easily handle increased order volumes without requiring you to invest in additional resources or infrastructure.
Gelato offers customer support to help resolve any issues with production or shipping, ensuring a smoother experience for both you and your customers.
This partner also allows for custom branding options, including branded packaging and inserts, helping you maintain a consistent brand image even as you scale globally.
Gelato provides analytics and insights into your orders, production, and shipping, helping you make data-driven decisions to optimize your business.
By integrating your Customily account with Gelato, you can leverage these benefits to offer a better product experience, expand your market reach, and run a more efficient, scalable, and sustainable business.
Customily + Printify
Another popular POD service provider is Printify, offering the following benefits:
Printify offers access to a large network of print providers across the globe. This allows you to choose the provider that best suits your needs in terms of price, quality, and location. Similar to Gelato, Printify’s network enables you to produce products closer to your customers, reducing shipping costs and delivery times.
Printify integrates smoothly with Customily, enabling you to quickly add custom products to your store. With Customily, your customers can personalize products directly on your website (either a Shopify or an Etsy store) and Printify will deal with the corresponding on-demand printing. Orders are automatically sent from Customily to Printify for fulfillment, simplifying your workflow and reducing the risk of errors.
Printify offers a vast catalog of customizable products, that are frequently updated, which allows you to stay current with trends and customer preferences. For example, you can offer personalized products on WooCommerce, which allows you to expand your product offerings and reach a broader audience.
With Printify, you can choose from various print providers offering different price points, enabling you to optimize costs without compromising on quality. If you opt for Printify Premium, you can get discounted rates on products, which can significantly increase your profit margins, especially if you have a high sales volume.
You can also handle big order volumes. Printify's network can handle increased order volumes, as your business grows, allowing you to scale without worrying about production capacity.
Despite using multiple print providers, Printify maintains high standards, ensuring that your products are consistently of good quality, which is crucial for customer satisfaction. You can order samples from different providers to test their quality before deciding which ones to offer in your store.
Printify allows for white labeling, meaning you can brand the products as your own, which helps in building and maintaining brand identity. Some providers offer custom packaging options, enhancing the unboxing experience for your customers.
Printify’s platform is user-friendly, making it easy to design and publish products, even if you’re not tech-savvy. The platform offers robust order management tools, making it easy to track orders, manage returns, and handle customer inquiries.
Printify provides data and analytics on your sales, allowing you to monitor performance and track trends. Printify manages inventory on your behalf, so you don’t need to worry about stock levels or overproduction.
Printify offers dedicated customer support to help with any issues and to ensure that your business runs without any problems. Printify provides extensive resources, tutorials, and guides to help you optimize your store and grow your business.
Connecting your Shopify product personalizer with Printify lets you enjoy a diverse product catalog, competitive pricing, and global fulfillment.
And the winner is…
Although Gelato and Printify are two similar print-on-demand platforms, they differ in key areas.
On the one hand, Gelato emphasizes a global production network with a strong focus on sustainability, ensuring products are printed and shipped from the closest possible location to reduce carbon footprint and delivery times. It offers consistent quality across its network but with a smaller range of product choices.
On the other hand, Printify provides a vast selection of products and allows users to choose from multiple print providers, giving more flexibility in terms of pricing and quality. However, this can lead to variations in product quality and shipping times depending on the chosen provider.
Essentially, Gelato focuses on global efficiency and sustainability, while Printify offers broader product variety and provider choice. So, which is the best POD partner to work with? Try any of Customily's partnerships for free and decide by yourself! 💜
