CustomCat
CustomCat is a US-based print-on-demand fulfiller focused on fast apparel turnaround and competitive CustomCat pricing. Connect Shopify, Etsy, or WooCommerce, publish products quickly, and keep fulfillment times tight with DTG/DTF, embroidery, and sublimation on drinkware. Simple automation and dependable staples.
CustomCat overview
CustomCat produces each item after the order is placed, so you can sell without inventory. The catalog leans into everyday winners—T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, tanks, hats, mugs and accessories—so it’s easy to launch or scale a store around staples. Apparel uses DTG/DTF for colorful designs, embroidery for premium stitched logos on hats and select garments, and sublimation for mugs and coated goods. If you want a straightforward, US-centric POD workflow for core products, CustomCat is built for that rhythm.
Pricing, quality, and fulfillment
You’ll often see CustomCat pricing highlighted for being aggressive on staple apparel. Compare landed cost—base price plus shipping, taxes and fees—against your selling price and positioning. Quality is consistent across popular blanks; order samples for your flagship SKUs to verify color, hand feel and stitching. Typical fulfillment times for common products land around two to five business days before carrier transit; US production helps keep delivery estimates realistic for North American buyers and reduces surprises during peak seasons.
Integrations and branding
CustomCat integrates with Shopify, Etsy, and WooCommerce (and offers an API for custom stacks). You can publish listings with mockups and variants and let orders auto-fulfill with status updates and tracking back to your store. Branding options depend on the product line—inside neck labels on supported garments, branded packing slips, and simple pack-ins—so the parcel feels like it came from your shop rather than a third party. Keep mockups clean and consistent; strong thumbnails materially improve CTR on marketplaces.
When CustomCat makes sense
Choose CustomCat when your catalog centers on core apparel and you want fast, dependable turnaround with simple integrations. It’s a strong fit for creators launching a first line, stores iterating quickly on tees/hoodies, and brands that value US-based fulfillment and sharp pricing. If you need global local-production coverage or a deep all-over-print catalog, mix suppliers—use CustomCat for everyday staples and another POD for international routing or niche AOP. Either way, straightforward automation and reliable production make CustomCat a practical engine for day-to-day POD.
