Opening a delicatessen is a chance to combine your love of fine food with a profitable business. A delicatessen or deli is all about curating high end products from fresh sandwiches to gourmet items like artisanal cheeses, charcuterie and preserves.
With the growing consumer demand for speciality and locally sourced food it’s a great business model but success requires planning, attention to detail and a commitment to giving your customers an exceptional experience.
I’ve used a lot of print on demand platforms in the past – testing them out for clients as an ecommerce consultant, writing reviews about their features, and even using them to produce custom merch. Gelato is one of my favorite options of all – for a few reasons.
Not only is it incredibly easy to use, as you’re about to see in this guide – but Gelato is great for sustainability-focused businesses, and companies that want access to premium products (at a lower price) and fast delivery speeds.
In particular, it’s the best POD vendor on the market for premium paper and art products (more on that later).
So, how do you set up your print on demand business with Gelato? I’m about to walk you through the entire process, step-by-step.

I’ve compared Bonfire and Teespring, two print-on-demand platforms for creating and selling custom merchandise. Both allow creators to design and sell without inventory but they have some differences.
Bonfire is more focused on fundraising campaigns and social causes while Teespring (now Spring) is for a wider range of sellers and products.
I found Bonfire’s interface easier to use with an emphasis on t-shirts and apparel for events or charities. Spring has more customization options and more products to sell.
Pricing is different too. Bonfire takes a percentage of sales but offers free shipping on many orders. Spring charges listing fees on some products but gives sellers more control over pricing and profit margins.
I’ll dive into that more to help you decide which one is right for you.
