Redbubble vs Zazzle: 2025โ€™s Top Print-on-Demand Sites

Articles Print on Demand

As an artist looking to sell my designs online Iโ€™ve compared Redbubble and Zazzle. These popular print-on-demand sites allow me to upload my artwork and sell it on products.

Both sites handle production, shipping and customer service so I can focus on creating. My earnings vary between the two with different royalty structures and pricing models.

Iโ€™ll break down the main differences to help fellow creators choose the best fit for their work and goals.

DTG vs DTF Printing: Which Oneโ€™s For Your Print on Demand Business?

Articles Print on Demand

When I started my first print on demand business over 10 years ago I had one major problem: choosing the right printing method.

Itโ€™s a decision that affects everything from the quality of your products to how fast you can scale your business.

Two of the most popular methods right now are DTG (Direct to Garment) and DTF (Direct to Film). Both are good options but they serve very different purposes.

So, whatโ€™s the main difference between DTG (Direct-to-Garment) and DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing?

DTG prints ink directly onto fabric, creating a soft and natural finish, but itโ€™s limited to cotton fabrics and slower for bulk orders. DTF prints designs onto a special film, which is then transferred to almost any fabric, making it more versatile and durable for scaling a POD business.
