Most apparel needs at least 150 DPI, and some details need 300 DPI. The library limit is 200 MB and 20000 × 20000 pixels. PDFs are accepted; raster formats give more predictable output. Ask which template and resolution apply to the selected garment.

  - Recommended resolution is at least 150 DPI for direct-to-garment apparel and 300 DPI for DTFlex. Sublimation can use 150 DPI for simple artwork, with 300 DPI recommended for fine lines and text.

- Customer-supplied approved pack-ins cost USD 0.50 per insert, and custom mailers cost USD 0.50 per order, with a USD 25 monthly storage minimum.
  - Custom mailers must fit 35 × 22 × 0.01 inches for storage and 35 × 22 × 18 inches for shipping. Custom mailers exclude drinkware, wall art, structured hats and stationery. Missing or unsuitable materials trigger white-label packaging.
- Inside-label pricing is available through the API for eligible offers. Ask whether your selected garment supports an inside label and what it costs.

## Store integrations and API

- Connect Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce and other supported stores, or build a custom Printful API integration. Other named options include Big Cartel, eBay, TikTok Shop, Ecwid, BigCommerce, Shift4Shop and Launch Cart.
  - Each channel has its own subscription, fees and feature availability.
- The Printful API supports custom integrations, and developer documentation is available. Ask about the endpoints and account access needed for the intended workflow.
- Printful provides API documentation. Check which API version and capabilities apply to your integration.
- API documentation references include the main developer guide and a v2-beta guide. Check current version availability and semantics before building against the beta reference.

## Shipping and fulfillment

- Shipping combines product-category first/additional-item rates; products requiring separate packaging may incur separate first-item charges.
  - United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brazil, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland. Explicit examples/region members only; individual products and fulfillment routes may be restricted. Ukraine and Kosovo are available only for selected products fulfilled from Latvia; other product and temporary restrictions can apply. Selected outsourced items, including footwear and some all-over-print garments, have narrower country eligibility; overseas territories and military addresses may be excluded. Printful’s service agreement describes white-label production and dropshipping directly to merchants and their customers.
- Printful-generated Etsy profiles use regional shipping estimates plus a separate processing period. Static Etsy shipping profile business days: US 3–6; EU 4–10; UK 4–8; Canada 3–10; Australia 3–20; New Zealand 10–20.
  - Brazil 3–18; Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland 5–9; Japan 3–10; elsewhere 7–20. Processing is typically 3–5 business days. Submitted-order estimates use recent regional data and can differ. The default Etsy US origin label does not prove factory origin. International US-bound orders use DDP by default.
- GBP freight examples for standard T-shirts and related tops vary by destination, with an extra charge per additional item.
  - GBP freight examples for standard T-shirts and related tops are US £4.19 first item + £1.90 additional; UK £3.69 + £1.20; Europe £4.09 + £1.10; Canada £6.99 + £1.35; Australia and New Zealand £6.29 + £1.09. Ask for current currency, tax, category and destination terms; these category examples do not set a landed total. The 14 October 2026 delivery restrictions exclude Russia, Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea and Venezuela. Other restrictions depend on product or region: Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk and Gaza are regional, rather than whole-country exclusions for Ukraine or Palestine; the India restriction concerns Pakistan-made garments.
- Delivery availability depends on the product and destination. The UK facility serves UK addresses only; ask separately where your order will be produced.
  - Printful ships print-on-demand orders directly to customers, subject to product and destination restrictions. The UK facility serves UK addresses only; shipping destination and production origin are separate. Fulfillment facilities are listed in the US, Mexico, Canada, Latvia, Spain and the UK, alongside partner regions. Ask which site will dispatch your selected product and route. US-bound Mexico production crosses the border before domestic dispatch; a facility country does not identify every parcel's origin.
- Offers made-to-order white-label dropshipping to customers. Availability depends on the product and destination, and the UK facility serves UK addresses only.
  - Ask separately about storage and fulfillment of your own inventory.
