Straightforward Print Melon pricing, DTG/DTF on apparel, sublimation on drinkware, and simple automation for everyday SKUs.
Print Melon overview
Print Melon produces each item after the order is placed so you can sell without holding inventory. The catalog centers on proven winners—T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, tank tops, hats, mugs and basic accessories—so it’s easy to launch or expand a store around staples. Apparel is typically printed with DTG/DTF for colorful artwork, while sublimation covers mugs and coated goods. If you want a straightforward POD workflow for core products with minimal fuss, Print Melon is designed for that day-to-day reliability.
Pricing, quality, and fulfillment
When comparing Print Melon pricing, look at landed cost—base price plus shipping, taxes and fees—against your selling price and positioning. Many shops prioritize consistent blanks and dependable color because it reduces returns and support time. Typical fulfillment times on common SKUs land around ~two to five business days before carrier transit; delivery windows then depend on destination and service level. US-based production helps keep estimates realistic for North American buyers and avoids long international routes for staples.
Integrations and branding
Print Melon integrates with Shopify (native app) and supports Etsy order syncing, letting you publish listings with variants and have orders auto-fulfill with status updates and tracking. 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 store rather than a third party. Keep your mockups clean and consistent; strong thumbnails lift CTR on marketplaces.
When Print Melon makes sense
Choose Print Melon when your catalog focuses on core apparel and simple accessories and you want predictable turnaround with easy integrations. It’s a strong fit for creators launching a first line, stores that iterate quickly on tees/hoodies, and brands that value US-based fulfillment. If your strategy demands the absolute lowest base cost from a huge provider network or a heavy all-over-print catalog, mix suppliers—use Print Melon for staple items and another POD for niche or price-sensitive SKUs. Either way, straightforward automation and dependable production make Print Melon a practical engine for everyday POD.
