Printful To Etsy Sample Shirts Arrived TODAY Bella + Canvas 3001 (Sorry fan in the background)
About this video
The creator unboxes sample shirts he ordered through the Printful-to-Etsy integration to test quality before selling. He ordered three shirts — for his father, himself and a friend — in large black, 2XL black and a heather midnight navy large, on the Bella + Canvas 3001 blank, with text designs reading ‘support your local Mexican’ for two of them and a matching variant for his friend. He shows that the package carries his business/brand name rather than his personal name or home address, with Printful’s Charlotte, North Carolina address as the return address, and that a receipt is included showing the retail prices. He says samples get 20% off and that he paid about $37 for the three shirts with free shipping, ordered on a Friday and received the following Friday. Handling the shirt, he judges the quality and print to feel pretty good. He says Etsy sales had increased and he sees potential in it, and that upcoming videos will walk through linking the account, advertising and running the Etsy side of the business step by step.
Key takeaways

- The Bella + Canvas 3001 shirt he inspected felt like good quality to him
- He plans follow-up videos covering account linking and advertising for the Printful-to-Etsy workflow
