Top 5 Print On Demand Niche Research Low Competition 2025

About this video

RJ Martinez shares five print-on-demand niche ideas, again warning viewers to check trademarks and copyright and to create original designs rather than copy. They are: (1) knee replacement surgery recovery humor (’new knee, new me’), a large, readable groovy-text design at $17.99 with 5.0 stars and 1 rating, first sold in January 2025 and selling consistently, with 138 results for the exact phrase; (2) ‘It’s cruise time’ cruise/boating shirts, an all-white design selling consistently since 2023, with 427 results — he notes inverting a design to black lets it work on light shirt colors; (3) ‘Sorry, I tooted’ train humor, text over a retro sunset train graphic, 4.2 stars, first sold April 2024 and gaining into Q4, with 144 results; (4) ‘Make America Mexico again,’ a skeleton-with-sombrero-and-guitar design he expects to resurface around Cinco de Mayo and when political comments retrigger the trend, with 249 results; and (5) Gulf of Mexico sea turtle, riding the Gulf of Mexico vs Gulf of America debate — a simple design uploaded around March 3, 2025 that he says quickly reached roughly 10K-19K BSR and was making over 10 sales a day, with 169 results. He closes by demonstrating Merch Informer’s Merch Hunter (filtering to about 10+ reviews, excluding brands) on Fourth of July fighter-jet and other designs, and pitches his Top Research Design Vault at $10/month with 700+ researched niches.

Key takeaways

• Favor large, readable designs that fill the print area so a shopper can read and react to them in a small Amazon thumbnail without clicking
• Knee replacement recovery humor (’new knee, new me’) is presented as a new 2025 seller with consistent sales and only 138 exact-phrase results
• Simple trend mashups can move fast: the Gulf of Mexico sea turtle design is claimed to have hit roughly 10K-19K BSR and 10+ sales a day within about a week
• Repurpose a proven white design in black (and vice versa) so it works on light-colored shirts and covers more of a niche
• In Merch Hunter, filter to around 10 or more reviews and exclude brands, then check all-time BSR charts for evergreen rather than one-off demand
