T-shirt Design and POD: How to Profit from Online Sales?

Easily Apply Your Design to the T-Shirt of Your Choice

After creating your design on online platforms, you can select the t-shirts, women's t-shirts, children's sizes or other textile products you want to have printed from the Podbul product catalog. The products in the catalog are predefined for printing; so you can quickly send your design to production by matching it with the right size, the right color and the right product type.

When choosing a product:
- You can view the size range (child-adult)
- You can choose from different t-shirt models and cuts
- You can harmonize the product of your choice with your design file and list it in your store

Thanks to this structure, you match the design you have prepared on the online platform with the appropriate product in the Podbul catalog and transfer it to production. The product is produced only when the order arrives and sent directly to your customer.

Which Print Type Should Be Preferred for Print on Demand?

Thanks to Podbul's professional DTG and DTF printing technologies, your design is seamlessly transferred to t-shirts. The DTG method offers a soft texture and high detail on cotton t-shirts, while DTF printing delivers durable and flexible results on different types of fabrics. These two technologies maintain color vibrancy, print fine lines clearly and do not distort even with intense color gradients. The equipment used in the production process ensures the correct positioning of the design and repeats the same quality with every order. So you can send to your customers with consistent and professional print quality by simply uploading your design and automating the order flow.

Cost and profit calculation (sample table)

The hypothetical example below shows the calculation of profit on the sale of DTG t-shirts. Figures are examples; platform and payment rates may vary depending on your store, country and shipping region.

• Formula Net profit = Selling price - (Production + Shipping + Fees)
• Differentiate pricing by shipping zone and discounts
• Calculate your monthly contribution by multiplying the unit cost reduction by volume with Premium (39.99$/month)
