1. Custom t-shirts

T-shirts are one of the most popular print-on-demand products to sell. They’re affordable, a wardrobe staple, and have endless design potential. Experiment with bold slogans, fan merch, or trend-based designs.

2. Custom hoodies

Hoodies offer higher retail prices than tees, which means more room for profit. With Printify, you can decorate your hoodie with direct-to-garment (DTG) prints, embroidery,  and even all-over prints (AOP) for bold designs – perfect for streetwear-style collections.

3. Custom sweatshirts

Up there with t-shirts and hoodies, sweatshirts are a big seller. Great for targeting buyers who prioritize comfort but also want to look put together. Opt for minimalist graphics and campus-style print designs for that classic preppy look.

4. Custom mugs

Custom-printed mugs are a top-selling product year-round. They’re personal, giftable, and easy to customize with quotes, artwork, or jokes. Offer color-changing or enamel mugs to increase perceived value and appeal to niche audiences.

5. Custom socks

Socks work well as gifts or add-ons. Printify offers all-over print options, so you can cover the entire sock with eye-catching designs. Create themed sets, seasonal releases, or target specific professions or hobbies to drive repeat purchases.

6. Custom stickers

Stickers turn self-expression into sales, and shoppers love using them to personalize their laptops, bottles, and notebooks. Sell print-on-demand stickers in themed packs or bundles, and use die-cut shapes for better shelf appeal.

7. Custom shoes

Shoes offer high pricing potential, but success depends on standout designs. Use Printify’s sneakers or slides to create fashion-forward or niche-focused products. Market them with lifestyle images, and consider influencer collabs to attract more customers.

8. Custom bags

From custom-printed tote bags to backpacks and fanny packs, Printify’s Catalog has it all. These POD products are ideal for travel brands, eco-friendly product drops, and functional fashion. Add your own designs to make them truly unique.

9. Custom phone accessories

Phone accessories are a strong fit for trend-based marketing. Affordable and always in high demand, you can design custom phone cases, stands, and grips using quotes or eye-catching artwork. Pair them with high-quality mockups on your store and social media to attract potential customers.

10. Custom accessories

Accessories like zipper wallets, belts, wristbands, or scarves are great for upselling or bundling. With product customization, you can match accessory designs with apparel to complete your customers’ outfits and increase average order value.

11. Custom stationery

Printify’s Catalog includes notebooks, journals, and calendars – excellent for students, professionals, or anyone who likes to keep organized. Paper products work well with minimalist layouts, bold prints, or motivational quotes. Sell them as standalone items or bundle them with other office-themed products for added value.

12. Custom hats

Make a statement with a logo, slogan, or embroidery on custom hats. Customize dad hats, trucker caps, or beanies for any niche. They’re unisex, have a universal fit, and are year-round bestsellers.

13. Custom water bottles

If you want to create products that everyone needs, then reusable water bottles are it. A standout custom design can easily turn this functional item into an instant favorite and encourage repeat purchases. Water bottles are great for fitness lines, employee merch, and gifts.

14. Custom children’s clothing

Children’s and baby clothing work well with name-based designs, cute graphics, or matching family outfits. Emphasize fabric softness and provide accurate sizing information in your product descriptions. Kids’ clothing is especially popular for birthdays, holidays, or personalized back-to-school shopping.

15. Custom workout sets

Selling custom activewear like sports bras, leggings, and shorts is a go-to way to appeal to fitness communities, health enthusiasts, or coaches. Motivational phrases and all-over prints work especially well for stunning, standout sets.

16. Custom computer accessories

Custom mouse pads, laptop sleeves, and desk mats add personality to study setups, home offices, and gaming spaces. These customizable products appeal to students, remote workers, and streamers and can be bundled with other tech or office accessories.

17. Custom pet products

Pet owners love spoiling their furry friends. Design custom pet products like tags, bowls, or hoodies with illustrations or playful slogans for your eCommerce store. Pet accessories sell especially well around the holidays or as impulse buys on marketplaces.

18. Custom travel accessories

Design luggage tags, toiletry bags, or travel pouches for vacation-goers and frequent flyers. Create and sell custom collections or travel-themed gift sets that reflect wanderlust, adventure quotes, or destination-inspired artwork.

19. Canvas and posters for wall art

Selling art prints is a strong entry point for artists, graphic designers, and bands. Printify has a range of canvases and posters in various sizes, ready to feature anything from photography prints to original paintings.

20. Custom kitchen accessories

Kitchen items like aprons, towels, and cutting boards are especially popular for gift shoppers and during the holidays. Add playful cooking quotes, illustrated ingredients, or visual recipes that stand out in any home decor collection.

21. Custom toys

Soft toys or stuffed animals wearing mini t-shirts with custom prints make thoughtful gifts for birthdays, holidays, or milestones. With Printify, you can add custom-printed names, dates, or simple artwork to make any shirt a memorable keepsake.

22. Custom jewelry

Jewelry sells well year-round, especially for stores targeting premium gifts. Create custom necklaces and jewelry boxes with your own designs. Focus on evergreen messages tied to milestones – like “Class of 2025” or “Best Mom” – to appeal to wide audiences.

23. Custom home decor

Shoppers love buying home decor to refresh a space, mark a life change, or give as a gift. Offer throw pillows, blankets, or towels featuring personalized designs – these products are fantastic bestsellers and can easily adapt to seasonal trends.

24. Custom seasonal decorations

Seasonal products sell quickly when launched early. Use Printify to design holiday-specific items like wrapping paper, ornaments, or holiday cards. Most shoppers buy new decorations every year, making this a strong category for repeat sales.

25. Custom tech accessories

If you sell custom products to tech lovers, accessories are a must. Printify has plenty to offer – from custom Apple watch straps to Bluetooth speakers. These products make practical gifts and are a good fit for stores focused on lifestyle items.

eCommerce platforms

An eCommerce platform lets you create your own website to sell products. You control the design, messaging, and product experience, but you’ll need to bring in traffic through marketing. 

Most platforms offer templates to create your eCommerce store without the complex process of coding.

Sell on eCommerce platforms with Printify

Shopify. Great for sellers who want a quick setup, full control, and a store that scales as you grow.

Squarespace. Best for Squarespace users who want to add a store to their site. It’s simple to use, with clean templates and built-in eCommerce features.

Wix. Good for beginners building a custom website with a store. Easy setup and visual editing, with essential eCommerce features included.

WooCommerce. For WordPress users who want to add a store to their site. The setup is beginner-friendly, but customization requires plugins or tech support. 

BigCommerce. Designed for sellers managing larger catalogs or complex operations. Offers more built-in features than most platforms.

PrestaShop. Best for developers or teams with technical experience. Fully customizable and suited for multilingual, international, or B2B setups.

Marketplaces

A marketplace’s main advantage is getting your customized products in front of an existing customer base – but it also means stiff competition. Strong product photos and optimized descriptions are crucial to stand out. 

You’ll also need to pay a small listing fee per product, plus transaction and payment processing fees when you make a sale.

Marketplaces are user-friendly platforms that get you selling quickly, but you’ll have limited store customization options.

Sell on online marketplaces with Printify

Etsy. Best for artists and designers selling custom products to people searching for gifts or one-of-a-kind items.

eBay. Best for selling affordable, trending products to a large audience. Great for high-volume sales and attracting shoppers looking for a deal.

Amazon. Good for already established businesses that can compete on a high-traffic platform. Selling personalized items on Amazon requires a Professional selling account and strict listing compliance.

TikTok. Best for creators and trend-savvy sellers who promote through video content. It’s great for connecting directly with followers and turning content into sales.

Custom Printify solutions

Beyond eCommerce platforms and marketplaces, Printify offers two direct ways to sell – the Pop-Up Store for product pages you can share instantly, and the API for connecting Printify to your own site or app.

Printify Pop-Up Store. Ideal if you’re just starting out, aren’t looking for extensive store customization, and want to start selling right away. It’s free to use with no subscriptions or hidden fees.

Printify API. Made for businesses that want to integrate Printify with their own website or app. It lets you automate product creation, order routing, and fulfillment directly within your existing system.
