“Working with PrintShrimp has absolutely transformed my business. I was hesitant to switch from Gelato as I had been using them for so long, but I am so glad I did. My printing costs are so much lower and because of this my profits have nearly doubled!” — Kirsty W / Etsy Seller


So, why are posters the best product to sell?

If you’ve been researching Print on Demand, you’ve probably come across the infinite options of t-shirts, mugs, hats, phone cases, and more. All of these are viable options, however, we think posters are the perfect place to start.

You can always expand into other areas further down the line, but here is a brief summary of why posters are the perfect product for POD:

1. They are very easy to design

Posters are a very easy shape to deal with—you can’t go wrong with a rectangle. This makes designing products very fast compared to complex apparel layouts.

2. What you see is what you get

You can literally see your finished product as you design it in either Canva or Photoshop. With T-shirts, you have to worry about design placement, sizing on the fabric, and how it reacts to different shirt colors. With posters, the file you upload is exactly what gets printed.

3. The same high quality, everywhere

With other products, if you want to reap the benefits of printing in various countries, you need to ensure every supplier stocks the exact same brand of t-shirt or mug. With posters, your products will come out the same no matter which of our global locations is used.

4. Favorable profit margins

Posters have a very low production cost, yet people are prepared to pay a premium for high-quality wall art. Using PrintShrimp, you can enjoy profits of anywhere between £10 - £25 pure profit per sale (and even up to £40 on oversized prints). Profit margins are even larger with our framed prints offering.

5. Seamless "White Label" fulfilment

Posters are the ultimate white-label product. They are simply printed, rolled into a protective tube, and shipped. There are no tags to remove or branding hurdles to jump through.
