Thank you!!! This video came at the right time. I just sold like 20 cermaic ornaments in the last few days and my heart sank when I heard you talk about them being blurry... BUT I took a chance on the SwiftPOD ornaments.. hallelujah, I'm so glad I did !!! 🎉
I sold IYP ceramic ornaments last year. The ornaments were matte finish last year and they changed them to glossy finish this year. I had to change all my ornament listings to reflect that. I got multiple 5 star reviews on them last year and no complaints.
Oh weird! I still got bad reviews for them last year and found them also glossy, but perhaps depends on what time of the year. I also had a very detailed design so any blur at all made it very hard to read. I'd use switftpod now to keep up with the matte look!
Good video! The custom cut are unique. I like metal and acrylic because they are light and won't weigh down the Christmas tree branches! I didn't know there was a difference tween the metal and aluminum ornaments...
I really appreciate your efforts! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Hi! I have a sample of the metal ornament. Luckily I ordered my sample before the strike and I have to say I really love it! It's one of my favorites. I would be more than happy to send you a little video if you want to see it, Thanks for always sharing so much great info. I really appreciate you!
Christina, After watching this video, I created a design for ornaments and uploaded it to Printify. Just curious as to colors. Everything downloaded much darker than the image I created. Is this typical with ornaments, and is there a suggested fix? Thanks.
I've seen many seller comparisons lately and Printiful seems to have better quality. Do you think it's also due to Printify outsourcing their printing? My understanding is that Printiful has in house printers so the quality is more consistent. I'm seeing more acrylic being offered this year. Thanks for your information.
They're the same company now as of last week! theyll both be using eachothers networks. But I still found Printify pricing and quality better for shirts and prefered their UI over Printful, and I like their customer service, but not all products or suppliers are perfect so I do my research on the providers before and read reviews for each product
I've sold six metal ornaments so far. Hopefully there are no complaints. I think the good point are: 1. that they are double sided so you can put two designs on 2. they are light so don't bend branches
Yess it seems people like the lightness to them, I do like weighted ones but it’s true it does bend branches. I’ve heard good things about the printing on those too!
Haven't seen any myself, have 7 on the way to clients and I ordered one for a friend, PRAYING they are nice. I did the round acrylics - not the cut outs.
Is the postal strike just between Canada and the US or also within the US? Thanks for all the info on ornaments. It’s my first season of offering ornaments.
Its just Canada! Its Canada Post (canadas biggest carrier). Based on a Printify chat I had, Canada post is still doing the final-mile delivery, and customers should just expect the delay. And some of my Canada orders have been delivering using Intelcom. But it depends who your printify supplier is and what carrier they use so that can vary
Have you tried the new one from Printed Simply that's on Early Access? I just ordered a sample but am wondering if anyone has experience. I just fulfilled about 20 from IYP and am nervous...
I have had nothing but problems with the custom cut acrylic ornament 😢 it has been my bestseller this season too. Printify did say they are actively working on the printing issues with these being blurry. So I am hoping with all the refunds they’ve had to do they are working hard on fixing the problem so I am keeping them for now.
That’s super good to know, but sorry to hear that! My print seemed decent for this one and I’ve never sold them in my shop so I wasn’t aware about printing issues on the custom cut acrylic
Christian, So why are there not issues with ceramic mugs? They've been around forever... Or, is there? Really appreciate your sharing this though with your viewers! Thanks so much.
I haven't tried to print as small on mugs as I've had to on ornaments! But perhaps they're different finishes, they are both ceramic but the coating could be different. The mugs don't seem as slippery and shiny as the surface of the ceramic ornaments
Same price or even more! Or I’d likely only offer it over the glass. It’s prettier, similar but so much cheaper so you’ll get way more profit per order
I wish i had of seen this sooner. I have a best selling ornament but OMG i am just devastated at how they sent the ornament out looking this way. I went with a different print company Gooten. I deactivated the listing. I feel so defeated. Seriously, i just feel so bad. Id like to try the swift ornament, I am hoping they work out. The 3 reviews so far seriously devastate me.
So sorry to hear that ! If its bestselling, that maeans you can keep making sales and get those reviews back up. Yes Swiftpod print looked the best by far to me for the ceramic ornaments and I started readding them back into my store! You've got this!
My first sale was an ornament and it was horrible the customer left me a 1 review 😢 it was blurry and it seems the print when through the other side 😭 I was so mad 😠 I contacted printify to reprint hopefully 🤞 it come better but will be using the mate finished from now
Yess use the swiftpod one! I’ve been mad at the ceramic ones forever too because of bad reviews on them for being blurry but now I’m happy to offer them again with the matte finish

YAAY glad to hear! It sounds like some people havent had the same bad luck with IYP but I'm only going to be doing swiftpod now
Great video! Super helpful and now i can try to do this and get a good supplier. Thank you!

Thank you for providing us with the good, the bad and the ugly in ornaments! This information is very helpful! Thank youo!

Thank you so much! Great to know about SwiftPod matte!
Great info. Thanks so much for all your great videos. Smiles and Merry Christmas

And I'm also now making sure to use the new ceramic ones only!
I just added ornaments this year. This video is very helpful & timely. So we Etsy sellers should steer clear of the china product?
I think it would result in lots of complaints as an Etsy seller yes! I wish it shipped more locally so I could sell them
Christina, After watching this video, I created a design for ornaments and uploaded it to Printify. Just curious as to colors. Everything downloaded much darker than the image I created. Is this typical with ornaments, and is there a suggested fix? Thanks.
As always. Your videos are soooo helpful!
Great content. Any suggestions for POD suppliers that carry suncatcher ornament?
I see some Chinese suppliers have these products, but I myself use Merchize to fulfill suncatcher ornament.

I am doing shopify, would you price the crystal at the same price as the glass or cheaper?
Same price or even more! Or I’d likely only offer it over the glass. It’s prettier, similar but so much cheaper so you’ll get way more profit per order
I had that white edge on my glass ornament too but it didn’t look bad.
Same! It doesnt bother me much at all, guess its normal with those
