What’s the Best POD Site to Sell T-Shirts Online?

Make Awesome Designs!

Fact: there are dozens of marketplaces where you can sell your designs online. Choosing among the best print on demand websites for your t-shirt business can be tricky. Why? Here’s a handful of reasons you’ll be able to relate to.

• Shipping. You have to think about where is your main audience located and how to reach them at an affordable price. Because you may be based in the US but find your main audience is somewhere in Germany (random, but hey it happens!) and you’ll need to sell your t-shirt designs through a print-on-demand site that has affordable shipping to Europe.
• Marketplace style/identity. Let’s say you are all about graphic tees with snarky or cheesy quotes, then you’ll want to choose a POD site whose audience is into that type of product. Or perhaps you are an illustrator or graphic artist who is all about edgy t-shirt designs that go for a more niche-specific crowd, then there’s also a set of marketplaces that will suit your style better. And you’ll need to know the difference in order to sell your designs in the right place.
• Product availability. This one’s easy. Some sites offer a lot (and I mean hundreds!) of different products in which you can offer your designs, while others are just into t-shirts or art prints for example. If you are looking to sell your designs on a bunch of different products at the time, you may want to go for one of these.
• Product quality and pricing. Let’s say you are really into a specific t-shirt brand and only want to offer your designs on print on demand sites that use blanks from that brand, you can do that!
• File input. This is something that can be overlooked sometimes but knowing the file type in which you need to upload your designs can come in real handy, especially if you are a designer or illustrator.

Now, to help you narrow down your search for the perfect print on demand site to handle the production + shipping of your online t-shirt business we put together a database that (hopefully!) will answer a bunch of questions you probably didn’t even know you had in regards to where will be selling your artwork online.
