Gelato Print on Demand: 4 T-Shirt Designs Reviewed

About this video

Martinez reviews four Gelato print-on-demand t-shirts he ordered, explaining Gelato integrates with Etsy, Shopify, Squarespace, BigCommerce and other sites, ships worldwide, and offers apparel plus items like wall art, mugs, phone cases and tote bags. He walks through the order timelines shown in Gelato: shirts ordered around February 22-25, printed within a few days, and delivered on March 2nd or March 6th depending on the item. The four shirts are: a premium unisex Bella Canvas 3001 in dark grey XL with a ‘Black History — honoring the past, inspiring the future’ book-and-tree design; a Gildan 2000 Ultra Cotton in metro blue, medium, with a rabbit holding a human foot ‘for luck’; an organic unisex crewneck in navy 2XL (Stanley/Stella, 100% organic cotton) saying ’needs more garlic,’ which he ordered for his grandpa and found heavier and looser-fitting; and a classic women’s Gildan 64000L in dark heather, large, with a ‘dog mom’ paws-and-heart design, a lighter 65% polyester / 35% cotton blend. Two models try each shirt on in 360-degree fit checks, contrasting Bella Canvas’s more fitted stretch with the looser organic and ultra-cotton fits, and he reports the prints held up well. He closes with a separate bulldog shirt he says has been washed four times (and accidentally dried once) and still looks good.

Key takeaways

• Order samples of different blanks before selling: fit and feel differed sharply between the fitted Bella Canvas 3001, looser Gildan 2000, and heavier organic Stanley/Stella shirt.
• Gelato’s order history he shows has printing starting within about 1-4 days of ordering, with his deliveries arriving March 2nd and March 6th for late-February orders.
• Check the product page for brand, fabric blend, sizing chart, production countries and pricing breakdown before designing in Gelato’s editor.
• Place designs inside the print box and use Gelato’s front/back and placement options; DTG and embroidery are both offered on the shirts shown.
• Wash-test your samples: he presents a previously reviewed shirt after four washes as evidence for judging print durability.
