What is print on-demand

Print-on demand is the technique of only printing the orders once they have been placed by the customer.

Dropshipping is a process where a third-party handles the shipping of your customers orders.

At sellshirts, we combine both of these methods to allow you to run your own clothing brand without upfront costs or investment in any stock.

After connecting your store on a platform such as Shopify, WooCommerce or Etsy, you upload your designs, then create your products and list your t-shirts for sale online, and you are ready for the best part.

When someone buys your items the order is automatically sent to our production queue, we print it on-demand and ship it straight to your customer - all under your brand name, your customer will never know.

There are no initial costs or monthly fees. You can start selling your designs from day one and we handle all of the printing and dispatch.

Think of it like this: You run the shop, we run the back room. You focus on selling your designs—we handle the printing, packing, and delivery.

How dropshipping can work for you

No Upfront Investment

There is no need to buy or hold stock - This is actually huge!

Imagine you have 5 designs on your website, you offer them in 3 colour variations and in sizes S to 3XL - and we can all agree that this would be a very small shop.

This equals 90 variations - just to have 1 item available for each option

With sellshirts dropshipping, print-on-demand method you only pay for an item when you make a sale, this makes it perfect for testing new designs or starting small, with low costs.

No inventory hassles

Even with a modest 90 garment shop you would need to store these items, keep track of your stock and re-order items in a timely manner. This is all very expensive and time consuming.

If you had a store with 50 designs and 8 colour variations - this would equal 2,400 garments. You can see that this could get out of hand.

At sellshirts we adopt the same model, we only buy the garments that we need to print, this greatly reduces the risk of wastage and overspending.

The big risk with buying stock for your store is that you never really know what is going to work and what doesn’t. Adding in the size and colour variations, you can’t accurately predict what stock you need to hold.

Using the dropshipping, print-on-demand method you never have to deal with leftover shirts or sizes that don’t sell.

Fully automated fulfilment

Orders flow from your shop straight to us. Once you have connected your store and set up your products, the rest of the order fulfillment is up to us. All you have to do is make the sales and oversee the orders (if you like).

We print, pack, and ship directly to your customer under your brand name.

This is great news for anyone who has limited time, your t-shirt business is a side hustle or you are planning a round the world trek. We keep the ball rolling for you and you can check in as and when you need to.
