As POD allows for incredible customisation levels, more and more people are choosing the model as the foundation for their online stores. However, there are so many providers of POD goods out there, so where should you start?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article will compare the features of <a href=\"https:\/\/au.contrado.com\/print-on-demand-drop-shipping\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contrado<\/a> and Printify\u2019s POD services, providing a simple breakdown of what you need to know to choose the right supplier for you. So please sit back, grab a coffee, and let\u2019s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Range Of Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/au.contrado.com\/design-your-own\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cdoimage.jpg\" alt=\"dropshipping printify\" class=\"wp-image-7218\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The product range is one of the most critical elements to consider when choosing a POD supplier. A broad product range allows for exponential levels of customisation, providing new dropshippers with a means to serve their chosen niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/au.contrado.com\/design-your-own\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contrado<\/a> currently has over 450 products to choose from, including a wide range of clothing, homeware products and accessories. Also, we are always looking to add new and exciting product types to our collection to keep things fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Printify currently offers just over 200 products to their customers. Their range is relatively similar to Contrado in terms of variety of products, with the main focus on clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Product Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of the end products is another crucial factor when it comes to choosing a POD supplier. Luckily, Contrado provide the highest production value possible; we make all of our products in-house at our own HQ. We handmake every product ourselves, using high-quality materials sourced from top suppliers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/au.contrado.com\/print-on-demand-drop-shipping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/printing-on-florence-net-fabric-transparent-29980_l.jpg\" alt=\"printify \" class=\"wp-image-4801\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of Printify, they do offer relatively high-quality products also. One key distinction is that they do not print their products themselves. Printify partners with various suppliers across the world to create their products, and these suppliers will then ship the product to the end customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Customisation Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The beating heart of POD services \u2013 customisation. This feature draws both dropshippers and customers to the service, as it allows for the creation of personalised products tailored to your specific wants and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Contrado, you can customise with  our easy-to-use design tool. This tool will enable you to add custom designs, change colours, and personalise to your heart\u2019s content. Plus, our product range is \u2018all over printed\u2019 \u2013 meaning our products stand out from the crowd!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our most customised products is our<a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/au.contrado.com\/custom-t-shirts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> t-shirt<\/a> range. We custom make all our t-shirts to order, using the best materials available to us. At <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/au.contrado.com\/design-your-own\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contrado<\/a>, we can pretty much create any design you want; whether that be your logo on the chest or an all-over design, front and back, we\u2019ve got you covered! Furthermore, we offer a broad selection of sizes (up to 7XL), and we can get products shipped super fast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/au.contrado.com\/design-your-own-t-shirt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Tshirt-Mockup-2.jpg\" alt=\"printify \" class=\"wp-image-7152\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving onto Printify, they also offer a great range of customisation options on their products. Again, this is all done through their design tool that allows you to make mock-ups before committing to a specific design. Users can also order samples before deciding on whether to purchase in bulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Labelling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Labeling.jpg\" alt=\"printify labels\" class=\"wp-image-6090\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a new dropshipper and wish to create your brand, a fantastic way to get exposure is to label your products. Contrado offers you the option to add a custom inside label on nearly all of our apparel range that can increase your brand\u2019s premium feel. Our branding station allows you to create a custom message to your customer, printed on order confirmations and dispatch notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Printify also provides labelling options on their product range. They offer printed neck labels on most of their products; depending on their 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party suppliers. Printify predominantly offer these labels on their t-shirt range and on a few other items within their apparel collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Shipping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/shutterstock_1154715967.jpg\" alt=\"printify shipping\" class=\"wp-image-5846\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your customers want their products as fast as possible, and at Contrado, we understand that. As mentioned, all products are handmade by us and shipped directly to the customer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Printify has suppliers in the US, UK, and China, so depending on your chosen product, it may be sent from quite a distance away. Their suppliers also handle the orders, and although their shipping times are still pretty good, it can take longer if your customers are based in Australia but ordering a product that is produced in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Cost and Discounts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, it&#8217;s important to consider the overall cost of using a specific POD supplier. They could have the best features in the world, but excessive prices can be a significant drawback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly we should note that both Contrado and Printify allow users to sign up for their free plans at no cost! Also, neither have a minimum order quantity or minimum order value. This is excellent news for new dropshippers who wish to test the waters in their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrado offers bulk discounts, which is a great way to save money when ordering larger quantities. Our discounts include 20% off on 1-10 items, 25% off on 11-20 items, 35% off on 21-50 items, and an incredible 40% off on orders of more than 50 items!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Printify does not offer any bulk discounts at this time. They offer the chance to save up to 20% on their products . To do this, you have to sign up for their premium plan, which is priced at USD 24.99 per month and billed annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, both Contrado and Printify allow you to set whatever price you like when selling to your customers. This means your profit is essentially based on what you sell for minus whatever you have paid your POD supplier to create the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/au.contrado.com\/print-on-demand-drop-shipping\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hero-pic.jpg\" alt=\"printify cost\" class=\"wp-image-6322\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, there you have it!
