At Printnest, we excel in top-quality printing methods to make your designs pop. Our main techniques include Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing and embroidery. DTF printing involves directly printing designs onto a special film, then transferring them onto garments with a heat press. This method ensures vibrant colors and precise details, with long-lasting durability. Embroidery adds texture and dimension to garments by stitching designs onto fabric with thread and needle. It's durable and perfect for logos or intricate designs.
Our fulfillment center operates from Stafford, TX.
At Printnest, we take pride in handling product fulfillment ourselves rather than relying on external fulfillment centers. This approach offers several advantages, including greater control over quality assurance, faster processing times, and enhanced customer service. By managing fulfillment in-house, we ensure that every order is carefully handled and promptly shipped from our facility, located in Stafford, TX.
Your earnings with Printnest depend on various factors, including the base cost of the product, the retail price you set, and any additional fees. As a print-on-demand platform, we typically deduct the base cost of the product and any applicable fees from the retail price, and you keep the difference as your profit. The exact amount you make per sale will vary depending on these factors and your pricing strategy. We guarantee to provide you with the best production price possible, ensuring that you keep more money in your pocket. We offer transparency in our pricing structure, allowing you to adjust your pricing to meet your profit goals while remaining competitive in the market.

Printnest operates as a print-on-demand company, meaning we produce items upon request. We do not support returns or exchanges for orders where customers have chosen the wrong size, color, or simply changed their mind. However, in the event of a damaged product or a manufacturing error, Printnest offers a free replacement or a refund. Please contact our team within 30 days of receiving the product to initiate the process. To do so, create a ticket through our portal by clicking the 'Support' button on the left side of the navigation, then select 'Add Ticket.' We may request a photo for confirmation purposes.
Etsy orders typically appear within a 2-hour timeframe after submission on Etsy. If an order hasn't been imported into Printnest within this period, it's likely due to the payment not being cleared yet. Only orders with an Etsy status of "Paid" will be imported into Printnest. Our system will automatically check the status of the Etsy order and import it into Printnest once the status updates to "Paid". If the order status hasn't changed to "Paid" within a few days, we recommend reaching out to Etsy support and/or contacting the customer for further assistance.
Yes, you can automatically link your designs with your orders as they arrive in Printnest. Navigate to the 'Design' section and select 'Mapping' from the menu.

We offer a range of shipping options to cater to your needs. Whether you're looking for an economical choice or need expedited delivery, we have you covered. Our options include DHL eCommerce, which provides reliable and cost-effective shipping solutions for lightweight parcels. If you prefer ground shipping within the contiguous United States, UPS Ground offers dependable delivery within 1-5 business days. For those requiring faster delivery, we offer UPS Second Day, guaranteeing delivery by the second business day. And for the most urgent shipments, UPS Next Day Air ensures next business day delivery. With these options, you can select the shipping method that best suits your timeline and budget.
Our shipping costs are influenced by several key factors including the type of product, quantity ordered, destination, and preferred shipping method. The unique characteristics of each product, such as size and weight, contribute to varying shipping rates. Furthermore, the destination plays a significant role, with shipping rates varying based on the distance and shipping zones involved.
Our standard production time for items is 1-3 business days. Please note that our business days are from Monday to Friday, with the exception of extraordinary times such as Christmas. During these periods, production may be subject to adjustments to accommodate increased demand or holiday schedules. We strive to maintain efficient processing times to ensure your orders are prepared promptly and delivered to you in a timely manner.
We carefully package our products using either poly bags or boxes, depending on their size and dimensions. This tailored approach ensures that each item is securely wrapped and protected during transit, minimizing the risk of damage or mishandling. By assessing the individual characteristics of each product, we determine the most suitable packaging method to guarantee safe delivery to our customers. This attention to detail reflects our commitment to providing quality service and preserving the integrity of your order throughout the shipping process.
While we proudly offer shipping to all countries, it's important to note that international shipping costs will apply. Additionally, each country has its own unique rules and regulations regarding border control and tariffs. We kindly ask our customers to be aware of these factors, as we cannot be held responsible for delays or returns due to compliance issues with local regulations. It's essential for customers to familiarize themselves with their country's import policies and any associated fees before placing an order. We strive to provide accurate information and support to facilitate smooth international shipments, but ultimately, adherence to local regulations remains the responsibility of the customer.
Regrettably, we are unable to accommodate additional items within our packaging.
Our biggest advantage over other print-on-demand companies is our in-house production capability. We ensure quality at every stage of production, backed by a dedicated quality control department. This department meticulously checks product models, colors, sizes, horizontal and vertical offsets, alignment, and color accuracy before products are dispatched for shipping.

We exclusively partner with Stripe, renowned for its reliability as a payment processor. Rest assured, we prioritize the security of your data and do not retain any sensitive information within our systems. Our billing structure is straightforward: we charge based on the base product cost plus shipping for the services we render. It's important to clarify that this billing process is distinct from your relationship with your customers, who pay you directly. Essentially, you have two separate relationships: one with your customers, from whom you receive payment, and another with Printnest, to whom payment is made for the production of your products
Customers have the ability to access and retrieve their invoices from Printnest. This can be conveniently done by accessing the account settings and navigating to the designated Billing section. From there, users can easily view and download their invoices for their records. Should any assistance be required in this process or for specific inquiries regarding invoices, our dedicated support team stands ready to provide further guidance and assistance.
As we collaborate with Stripe, it's highly improbable that the reason for a card decline originates from our end. The potential reasons for payment issues include insufficient funds in the account, card expiration, exceeding the withdrawal limit, card being blocked by the issuer, occurrence of a technical error, and rejection of the transaction by the bank. If you are experiencing difficulties with payment, we advise you to reach out to their bank for assistance.
We facilitate transactions in all currencies, but it's essential to acknowledge that exchange rates can vary between institutions. Consequently, customers are accountable for any losses resulting from disparities in exchange rates. Furthermore, please note that our wallet feature is exclusively supported in USD.
Nestwallet is an e-wallet designed to store funds, streamlining transactions within Printnest services. This solution emerged from the difficulties many clients encountered when conducting multiple transactions from outside the United States. It alleviates concerns such as potential card fees in specific countries and fluctuating exchange rates during non-working hours, providing a convenient and seamless transaction experience.
