👋 New Here?
Hey,
I’m Shimmy Morris, I love creating business, and learning new things along the way.
I’ve created quite a few different businesses since I left high school and so far it’s all gone pretty well.
I’m a massive car nerd and love all sports, especially those dangerous ones like snowboarding and rock climbing!
Thanks for visiting the channel, I hope you’re enjoying the videos.
I bought a shirt from tee spring, a black shirt with a design on it. Five washes later and now I have a very nice black shirt… with no design on it. 😞
sorry about that!! you should definitely get your money back!
@@shimmymorris1 nah, it’s a good shirt.
@@shimmymorris1 you should wash all of them several times and rank them again
Same with a hoodie from there.. They sent me another hoodie with the same design and it happened again. Sad.
Same for printful
I have to say thank you so much for you Videos really helping out a lot 🙏🏼
thanks so much!!
In the comparison, it would have been good to also test how the t-shirts hold up after one or more washes. It’s important to know if the design remains intact, or if it fades or starts to come off.
i did a separate video for a wash test
He did the other video, and Printful, Moteefe, and Amazon came out on top. Spring suffered badly.
@@shimmymorris1 a BIG pity you didnt use all of these in your wash test... Pulling my hair out trying to find the best POD to use..
@@shimmymorris1 why not the same video? Money?
@@jahjoekathis video is already 20 minutes long, and he would have been able to pull this content off sooner than the washing due to time
Would love to see a review of the shirts after 1, 3, 5... washes.
See how well the graphic holds up after those amounts of washes
yea, excellent idea!
This and the consistency of results. Print, size, shipping...
I have one shirt that I bought from a friend through printful and it's held up so far for 3 years
I can vouch that printify t-shirts don't hold up well after 3 washes... My husband's shirt I printed thru them looks like it's been through a year's worth of washes and it's only 6 months old or so and not worn daily.
Yes this is what I was going to ask, seeing as you bought them all it would be worth doing a wash test.
Thank you for comparing the shirt qualities AND print qualities!! I use Printful so I am happy to see them placing so high on your chart. Well done!
nice!! you’re welcome :D
So you also know that Printify don't actual produce any products but rely upon many outside suppliers. Which means that their inclusion in this pointless test is also pointless.
Is there a way around their design problems? I do art and can't cut it into different sized pieces just to do a dress. Red bubble may have fade issues (could be washing, I'll see in vid) but allows me to put the design on the whole item of clothing.
@@MarmiteTheDog exactly thats why this whole video is pointless lol. same companies that print for printify print for teespring etc
I won’t use that company anymore because the black washed out in just a few weeks.
Wow, thank you so much for your time and the $ you spent on this! I really appreciate that you were so thorough in your review. I’m an independent musician and really want to give my listeners QUALITY when it comes to merch like tees. Your review helped me immensely and totally earned my follow! 💜
thanks so much! really appreciate that!! Good luck with your music career :D
Arielle Bryant+ Hi I've only seen nice female tshirts at Spod- am I wrong?
As I was leaving a thank you for this helpful video, I noticed your comment and thought how cool that you are expanding your brand to include merch! POD is such a fantastic way for artists to elevate their income! I took a moment to listen to your music and it is GORGEOUS! You have a new fan! XO
Here is a link to download an image of the spreadsheet so you can easily check back on it: ibb.co/pfV4mS6
Happy that we had chosen printful! Ordered our sample a couple days ago and are excited to see it.
Nice!!!
How did your sample turn out?
Well done! This is the model for PoD T-shirt shootouts, and other than seeing how they hold up after a wash-n-dry round I think you covered everything we all wonder about these suppliers. Thanks to you both.
thanks so much!! I think I might wash n dry for a part 2
So much efforts on making this video ! Loved it, done very well ❣️
thank you so much! really appreciate it
This video was made with a lot of effort !! Thank you so much for making this and clearing up all of the confussion with these companies.
You're very welcome!
You're a legend for doing this. Thankyou. Saved me a TON of research! Liked and subbed.
thanks so much!! glad you liked it!
Incredibly thorough and helpful. Thank you for your hard work!
Your welcome! Thanks for watching
This is such a helpful review. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make this. 😊
thanks so much!
I wanted to get a custom shirt for my best friend for his birthday, but there were so many options and so many printing methods that I was kind of frozen with fear to try a company. After all, I didn't want to mess up a friend's birthday present!
I now feel very comfortable making that decision, thanks to your video.
Thank you!
woohoo! that's awesome. So happy for you. I hope they enjoy it
Very helpful man, thank you! I'm still trying to figure out if my subscribers are even interested in merchandise, but this video was by far the most informative. I appreciate it.
thanks so much! Glad you liked it. Change things up, release new products maybe
A million thank you's, so appreciate you guys!!!
thanks so much!! glad you liked it
@@shimmymorris1 TeePublic is the only company out Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic and Society6 that I've sold anything on so glad it's good quality
@@shimmymorris1 That's really disappointing that Amazon Merch has bleeding.
I almost never comment but I'll do on this one to help you with youtube algorithm. You have made a great and unbiased job that will help many people. Thank you!
Thank you so so much! Really appreciate that!
Thank you for all the work and expense involved in this video! This now my 2¢ worth. 1)I like bold colors. If I work hard to achieve it on my design, I want it to show as is, not faded. 2) I bought several sizes and styles tee shirts from Red bubble for myself and family. In their product description, also consumer reviews, they do mention certain styles run large or small. 3) All were very soft. But for, say, a construction worker's work shirt a thicker, heavier fabric might be more desirable. 4) All my orders were on black or dark colors and were good except... The white stripes in American flag design could have been better as compared to a similar shirt I bought from Old Navy a few years ago, (it might not have been a POD). 5)Thanks again for a great video.
Thank you for the valuable input! The faded style seems to be getting more and more popular, but I agree, I like bold colours sometimes too, I'm just swaying slightly to that faded look
So.. did you work on cmyk colour profile on your designs..?
Thanks for this, I’m about to get into this and this is the most important thing for me, comfort, and quality. I don’t want my customers to be disappointed. Great video thanks.
you're welcome! me too, comfort is super important
Thanks for this video! I've been waiting for it 👌🔥
You’re welcome!
Dude you are awesome, really helping me learn. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Thanks so much. Really appreciate that!
Thank you for putting in all of this time and effort for this video!
you're so welcome!
Appreciate your time on this! Very Helpful!!!
My pleasure!
Great breakdown! Loved the way you structured the video.
Glad you liked it!
Great video Shimmy. Yes from far away Spring rocks with design and quality shirt. I didn t expect that...And yes, I was expecting Printful to be on top. Very happy with this info, thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching and commenting! glad you liked it!
Thank you for making this video. I actually already chose to use Printful but I'm still in the process of setting up my products and haven't started selling yet. I was feeling nervous about whether their print quality and product quality was going to be good. Your video makes me feel good about my choice to use Printful and helped to reduce my anxiety so thank you so much!
wow that's awesome! you're so welcome :D Happy I could help
I’ve ordered 3 samples from printful, and all 3 were horrible, the print of the design is actually alright and doesn’t wash away too quickly however the actual t-shirt quality is horrible, it feels like you are putting on a piece of sandpaper
Thank you very much for this video. Very helpful in deciding which storefront to go with!
glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :D
Shimmy love u ❤️ btw now your yt channel is my favourite channel for pod dropshipping please provide us more quality content like this 😩🥺

Thank you so much for the good work you just did in this video. Great job.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for doing all this work and sharing such a detailed review. Very helpful 🥰
you're welcome! thanks so much for watching!!
This has been the best on demand printing video I have seen. I have one/two in mind and continue to look further. Thank you for going so in depth. Washing is the key component. I ordered from Cafe Press before and was happy with the product, although, it wasn't for me, and I don't know how washing held up. Cheers.
awesome! glad you found it helpful
Thank you Shimmy! This is very good info. Great work.
thanks!
Well done video! Just absolutely excellent and so very helpful! 👌 Thank you for this
thank you so much! glad you liked it
Really great video to watch as someone just considering getting into Print on Demand T'Shirts. thanks heaps!
thank you! glad you found it helpful
Thank you about this video mate. I needed that information!
you're welcome!
thank you for this video, I think is very helpful in terms of starting tee business
Thank you this was very good information. I can say that i have ordered a merch by Amazon shirt and it didn't have the bleed issue. It was very soft print and shirt and i like the fit although maybe ran a tad small. The print has held up well to multuple washes without fade which is a plus as well. I think any time we deal with mass production, we will have slight variences on size. They are allowed to be off measurements in manufacturing as long as it is within pre determined specks. Same with the print. Still great info . Thank you.
thanks for letting me know! Of course not all will bleed or be bad quality. Of the other shirts I have ordered in the past, they were fine, so I'm not super worried about it
Great video! Thanks for putting the time and effort into making this one. I'm sure it took much patience and fortitude. My only concern and question is this:
From what I understand, (please correct me if wrong), is that MOST of these of POD companies, (if not all?) are working with 3rd party printing houses (generally unknown to the masses), AND depending on a variety of ever changing factors (just to make it even more confusing for buyers), trying to seek consistency with color, printing quality, size of shirt, even the quality texture of shirt (scratchy vs smooth), will all tend to vary depending what TYPE of product you order, what SIZE you order, WHEN you order it (is it still in stock?, if not they might send you the next best thing concerning quality..that happened to me with Teespring), and from WHERE you order it from (Europe, States, etc.).
Your video is appreciated though, because whatever and whenever the product was ordered, it still reflects the company overall. But, I just think in the end it might be a tad misleading to assume that these results are completely accurate as far as representing what might be quarterly or even year round results ( I wish they were!). If you did these same tests a month later, I wouldn't be surprised if it yielded completely different results. I think the way operations are running by these companies makes consistency almost impossible.
Spring must have switched printing houses or something because I received my printed shirts (Via Teespring, just before Spring) because there were more than a few errors on printing and quality and sizes and everything. AND I think, one could probably do just an entire video on accuracy of design placement alone. I think for most companies they are also very inaccurate (some worse than others of course). I think ultimately, the way to determine in detail where the best printing and quality t-shirts are coming from is to find out what the actual printing houses are. But at that step, you might as well just start your own company.
Thanks again for the vid!
Ye this was more to get a better understanding of the comapanies as a whole. if a shirt was great quality you could imagine they care about the quality in their other products too. There are of course so many variables to consider and so many changing factors.
From my experience of buying shirts in the past from some of these companies, they've been quite consistent
@@shimmymorris1 Great to know. Thanks!
Excellent breakdown video. Thank you for this valuable info!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I have never seen a more detailed and informative video. Thank you to you both.
wow thank you so much!
Great content. Thanks for this Shimmy
Cheers Daniel ☺️
Thanks for the video, just ordered a couple of T's from Tee Public for the first time... waiting to receive, but glad I saw your vid. Cheers
Glad I could help!

Thank you so much for doing this video..it cleared all my doubts..wishing you success and happiness :))

You are so welcome!
Hi there! I was actually enjoying you testing them all... then you sped it up! Oh well. Great vid! Thanks for this! Maybe you could post the full length version as well.
i could do the full version too, i thought it was getting a bit to long with talking about each individual one
This is best POD review I ever seen. Thank you 😊
thanks so much!
this video was very well done, looking to start a brand and this video was very helpful. great job!
Glad it was helpful!
@@shimmymorris1 hey i was wondering is the print you have in your video the max size? like can you print on a larger area of the shirts? im looking to get shirts from printful but im not sure the 12x16 inch area is large enough. if not what is are the print for perspective?
Not all of the comfort variations can be attributed to the print company. Some of the blank shirt brands are very inconsistent in sizing - for Gildan softstyle, for instance, I have size larges that are far too tight and some that fit perfectly. Of course, the quality of the print absolutely effects comfort, and I do think you can rate companies based on whether they're using a nicer t-shirt at their base price.
oh wow that's interesting about the sizing inconsistencies! Yes the type of t-shirt will affect the comfort the most!
Very informative and helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks you for this video! You saved me money and time🙌🙏
Awesome! So happy I could help
Where did the Spring printed from, within UK? All my 5 samples within 1 year - were terrible prints - within USA....
One was USA and I think one was somewhere in Europe
Thank you for this, it really saved me a lot of time and money. My only feedback is that when you were trying on the shirts for comfort, it would have been nice to keep the company name updated the entire time. Other than that, you were well spoken, you didn’t waist too much time in the beginning of the video. I especially loved the spreadsheet. Good job human. ;)
thanks very much, glad you liked it
thanks for this. I buy the Gildan 64000 myself and its a really nice comfortable shirt whereas the odd time I have had a gildan 5000 you can tell the difference immediately. as it is more coarse and heavier. Not surprised that they felt bigger and itchy tbh. I have had some issues on a shirt recently where the pink I used on it was printed as more of a purple and I found it this was due to this print partner at Printify was using a CMYK printer and therefore matched my colour which was out of its range with the purple. I had had to redo the design with a websafe colour pink and it looks pretty similar and when printed on a mug it came back pink so that was good. That sort of made me think of your shirt where the initial 4 rows were basically the same and it might be that that provider is not able to print correctly outside of the CMYK range.
hmm an interesting point! thanks😀
Thanks for video, really helpful to see print quality.
Gildan is 2nd worst company for clothing in my opinion for t-shirts after Fruit of Loom. As when I was ordering blank t-shirts from wholesalers their sizing doesn't match, seams were off, neckline weird (always was going for softstyle). Now using only BC and their are really good however more pricy. Also I did order sample print from Prodigi, was expecting funky vinegar smell, but I couldn't smell anything, also print quality was medium, haven't washed it yet-scared that all print will wash away lol.
interesting insight! Glad you liked the video. Let me know how the print is on that tshirt
Very helpful information, thank you.
thank you!
So interesting! Thank you so much, I wanted to see what my customers were getting :) For printify, what company did you use? I understand that they're more of a middle-man for print companies.
Yes printify I shouldn't have put in here as they have so many options, I just picked the option that went to the UK
@@shimmymorris1 and that still took 8 days??
Thank you for this awesome video, You did a really hard work, this video should be ranked higher
thank you so much!
12:47 You left the Redbubble label on for 3 shirts. Thanks for the comprehensive comparison. Especially the video showing how they handle washes.
oh ok. Thanks so much! Happy you liked
This is a very informative video. A couple of things I would like to see more of is, how did they stand up in the wash, how were the colours compared to your design
hmm this is a really good idea, maybe a part 2 after using for a week, washing, drying, etc
@@shimmymorris1 yeah wash them all together in one washer load to see who would survive 🤣
Very good video. I think the print that you used was brilliant for this test.
I was really hoping that Amazon would have scored higher because their shipping is so fast but I need the quality for my brand. Looks like printful will be the way to go. Though 6 days is still a long time it is still reasonable for the higher quality products.
Hopefully it works out and I can eventually buy my own equipment to make my apparel myself at home.
that would be the dream, but that equipment is really big and really expensive
Very good video. Thank you for the effort made.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks so much for the comparisons.
you're welcome! thanks for watching!
Another brilliant video. Cheers 👍
thanks so much!
Love this! Thank you so much. I’m wondering how they compare after washing?
They're pretty good to be honest. Not all worked out, but towards the end I go over the quality after a wash
Thank you for making this video. Very helpful.
glad you liked it!
Thank you for this video. It was very educational
glad it was helpful!
Great job Shimmi. I really appreciate it. But moteefe delivery time is missing, what is the reason? Could you tell if you do not mind
thank you! Annoyingly I forgot the day it came!! It was around 6-10 days though, very similar to printful
Super helpful. Thanks!
you're welcome!
Thank you this helped alot on my decision
you're welcome!
Perfect video for me, thanks!!
You're welcome!
I do comparison videos on my channel so I can appreciate the work that went into the thoroughness of this review. AMAZING job!
thanks so much! very cool... good luck with your channel
such a great idea...very informative video..I use tee public..thnx keep putting us up on game 💯 liked shared subbed!!!
Great vid bro, Ty very much
Glad you enjoyed it
best most well-structured test.
Thank you
Glad you think so!
Absolutely genius the way you utilized all those colors for the Tz
thanks so much! glad you think so
This was so helpful!!
so happy you liked it!
Thank you so much. Great video, great information. One thing I would suggest though is more steady camera work. I was feeling dizzy because the camera was moving all about.
you're welcome! thanks for the advice, this was before a stabiliser... more recent videos are all still
Keep in mind that when you're comparing size, comfort and quality of the shirts among the POD companies that they don't actually make the tshirts and any seller using Printful and Printfiy (I don't know about the other companies) would be able to select specific shirt brands and styles (Bella + Canvas, Gildan, Next Level, etc.). If you're using Printify like I am, they actually farm out the printing to a bunch of different print houses or print providers as they call them, so they printing quality can vary depending on which print provider you choose. I think Printful does their own printing so maybe their printing quality is more consistent. One thing I want to say about Amazon shirts (Amazon Merch is the name for their POD business) is that they use Port and Company tshirts, which isn't the best quality but it's decent. One last thing I want to bring up is that as a current POD tshirt seller who used to sell shirts that were screen printed, I always want the artwork on the tees to have a "soft feel" touch, which is a screen printing jargon that means using as little ink as possible so you don't feel the ink at all. That has been a challenge for me using these POD companies and I hope the technology improves soon so all DTG shirts can have that "soft feel" touch on them., at least that's my personal preference as I don't care for that heavy plasticy feel on the printed artwork. Thanks for your insightful video!
thanks for watching!! i try not to review Printify as I know it can vary drastically from printer to printer
👍🏾🍷Many Thanks again 4 the thorough Intel review my Brotha. Very useful info indeed. It's greatly appreciated…Blessings🙏🏾
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it
@@shimmymorris1 Re: No Doubt.. Many Thanks Again @ShimmyMorris
Great video - thank you for doing this.
and thank you for watching!
Awesome video, keep up the great work 👍
thanks so much! really appreciate that
I wish you'd included Gooten and CustomCat since I'm not into the RedBubble/Teespring model. I did like your test pattern. It was quite comprehensive. It'dbe neat if you could make the test available as a Canva template and we could run our own tests. I'd also be interested in knowing which print provider you used at Printify. There can be major differences depending on which caompany you use at Printify.
I just used what every was voted for by everyone. Unfortunately gotten didn’t get many votes.
That’s a good idea. I can make the file downloadable so anyone can use it.
Printify was an odd one and because of the complexities of multiple providers I probably shouldn’t have used them.
Fantastic review, please do a review of them after 3 washes each , and an accidental tumble dryer test.
Thanks again best comparison review of this kind.
thanks so much! that's coming soon
omg such a good video! thanks
