Ive had great results with Gelato. I do wish they would expand the catalog.
You can check out the new upcoming products on their website at www.gelato.com/ under products > coming soon
Another great video, Kerry. Thank you for sharing all of this information about Gelato, and thank you to you and Adrian for all of the information that you have provided about them within the community. 🙌🏽
Absolutely! Glad you're enjoying it!
my experience has been pretty good so far, even tracking for middle eastern countries showed delivered and they handled shipping very nicely
Gelato rocks!
oh amazing? it got straight to your customer? With printify took 22 days to get to Dubai and i ended up having to pay Emirates Post charges on delivery..
@@aindrea_s yeah most of the orders are good and trackable. once in a while something gets lost/returned but gelato did refund me so its all good.
Boyyyyyy! Kerry, you put us on the REAL DEAL every. single. time! Thanks for what you do...seriously.
Thank you for the kind comment!
Thanks so much kerry, I use Gelato but am really struggling with sales. I wasnt sure if it was the right POD site but now I think it is alright. Thanks Kerry
I actually have a workshop with Adrian Vonarx coming up in October that sounds like what you're looking for. I'd love to see you there. Here's the link to get on the list: 6figurefounder.com/coaching
Thank you for your video could you please tell if your poster was the premium one or the regular one
I ❤ gelato for all the reasons you mention. It's a great video, thank you! It helped me realize I made a good choice. I've used printing and Printful, but I love ❤️ gelato sold overseas too so its great.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
How’s your sales currently? Is it worth getting into now?
Great video, thank you! Can I ask what quality you tested for the paper print?
thank u so much .. helped a lot..
Glad it helped!
Dude! A week ago i saw your first review about Gelato that made me decide to use Gelato for the first time ever doing POD. Today i was planning to made the first order with some shirts i've selled here in Ecuador (Latam), and I was still worried. You just uploaded this video right on time, THANK U SO SO MUCH
Gelato is seriously awesome! If you're within 72 hours of creating your account, here's a discount code to get 60% off your first order! Code: KERRY
Hola Piero, soy también de Latam (México). Cuál es tu opinión de Gelato después de utilizarla por unos meses? Gracias!
Thank you for this review..
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, Kerry! Very informative video that I found very helpful as I’ve been looking to switch gears to wall art and have been wondering about Gelato. This told me everything I need to know.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the review!
I am interested in the thickness of the canvas that was on your review.
It was slim( 0.8" / 2cm ) or thick( 1.6" / 4cm )?
Great video!!! I am 16 years old and have been thinking about creating a small clothing brand. The main problem for me is finding the manufacture, everything else is almost good. Is there a way to contact the manufacturer? I have watched many videos about how to find the right manufacturer and every single one of them said to actually FaceTime them to see their factories and if they are valid. Also, another important thing is if they do split payments. From the videos, they said it is better to pay the manufacturer into 3 different categories. Pay them once when they print, second when they pack, and third when they ship it out. I just want to make sure I find a trustful manufacturer and not get scammed or anything like that. But thanks for the great video!
This is not something I’m experienced in as I focus more on POD.
Thank you Kerry! I love Gelato! My store is live. 😊
Let’s go!!!
In other words a positive review. Love it! I just started setting up a shopify store using them. My only complaint is that they don't do hats yet. Cause it would be cool for my store to do a hoodie and hat bundle. Still going to use them though. Just awaiting the mockup delivery to arrive so I can feel and see how good it is for myself.
You can check out Gelato's upcoming products on their website at www.gelato.com/
Hats coming soon!
Hi may I ask for some advice. I think I would like to try this in order to try and afford my daughter's equipment. I feel less shame in providing something for a small margin than a go fund me thing.
Do you think a £2 margin would work or would it succumb to negative margin somehow.
I can't figure another way to cover additional equipment needs without trading away my weekend I spend with her. Otherwise what's the point in a child right?
Be a ruthless as you need.
Thanks in advance

Your content is sooo helpful! I am getting the discount with Gelato using your code and it's amazing because they apply their own discount codes to the order IN ADDITION to. So thank you! One question...what white did you use on the black tee? I have tried so many ways and nothing comes out well for me 🤔
Thanks! Just regular old white!
for the packaging, is there any indication for gelato
do i have to pay for the product on gelato in order for customers to receive it? or is the shipping already taken out of the customers money?
do they remove double tax if I connect my etsy store? like how printify isnt charging me tax again for USA orders because etsy is already taking the tax from the customers?
Thank you so much for such an informative video! The way you convey information is so easy to grasp, and I appreciate the effort you went into sharing the information with us! Would you mind sharing your favourite unisex t-shirt product from Gelato? And would you say all the unisex t-shorts are the same fit, and the difference lies in the quality? Thank you so much again!
Appreciate the awesome feedback! My personal favorite is the Bella & Canvas 3001
Thank you 🙏@@KerryEgeler
Thanks mate. I appreciate this. I am using Gelato and designing so much. I was getting worried because I just dont know until I order a sample, what the quality is truly like. I appreciate you showing me in this video, and between your video, and a couple of other people's videos, it's good to be relieved after all this hard work Im putting in. Thanks again! That was an awesome poster you had made up too! Ps What was the size cup that you showed?
Glad you enjoyed the review! I've had a really great experience with Gelato
@@KerryEgeler Glad to hear it.
Did the black neck text show on the outside of the t-shirt ? I am so unsure about what color to choose for our inside neck logo on white shirts.
No, it did not show through
Hi, could I do this using Stan store?
Whats the print quality like? Does it feel plastic'y or like it is going to crack at any moment?
Also what about Printify or Printful in comparison?
App does not work in my iPhone 11. It does not allow download pictures without chrash imidiaely you try to open photogallery on your phone.
I find them confusing to use but they look like it will be worth it once i understand it better. Im coming from red bubble, that's my only previous experience
Do you have to have your own e-commerce store or can people find your product directly on gelato
whos ther best print on demand with clothing
Have you done any shirts with some of those midjourney graphic's? I was wondering how the printing deals with shading and various color hues.
Direct to garment printing, which is what 99% of POD companies use, does great with many colors and complex designs. It doesn’t do as well with the big blocks of colors. It should do well with the types of designs you mentioned.
Do you need to pay the listing fees for Etsy upfront while using gelato??
Thanks for the video. Have you ever checked out their biodegradable phone cases?
You're very welcome! I have not personally tried their phone cases
@@KerryEgeler Ah okay.
My biggest complaint is the limited variants.
they dont have the 'coming soon' link anymore, but i see this video was 6 months ago. I'm surprised they dont sell stickers.
Did you make a comment about the time it took to ship to clients? I might have skipped over that if you did. How long did those products take to get to your door? Thanks!
Received 5-7 days after order. Some of the items got to me in 2-3, VERY fast.
Nice insights 👍 please make a video on Gelato vs Printify. Thanks!
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind!
Waiting for that. Cheers!
Looks like imma try Gelato for a bit
I've had a really good experience with them! Some of the best customer service I've seen.
how is it so far
When shipping internationally (aka outside USA), how you setup a global pricing point?... when you start switching countries and currencies in pricing screen, production and shipping cost varies a lot.
You can setup specific shipping cost per country, but generally your pricing will need to stay the same. I just make sure I’m covering the higher shipping. If you’re using Gelato, shipping is similar no matter where you are selling, due to them having print partners locally around the world.
thanks that makes sense. im trying to setup an all inclusive global free delivery price point and remain competitive. with production cost varuing im in need to tweak retail prices per countries . but guess that feature does not exist
@@maxx_thor did you manage to include free delivery ?
@@JuanchoGarVi cannot be done at global reach. only within a specific country. I just play with min delivery fees covering Gelato's Cost charging my customers (still cheap) and rest baked into the retail price. Still have an issues with huge variability with global stock management sync (gelato vs shopify vs google merchant). I have customers ordered a product that was deemed not in stock after customer paid.
Nice video Kerry. The thing that I don't like with gelato is that it doesn't have any area for placing brand logo on hoodies and sweatshirts like that on t-shirts (inner/outer neck or sideways).
One of my favorite aspects of Gelato is that you can print your brand on your products. Here's a link to Gelato's info on getting your brand onto your products: apisupport.gelato.com/hc/en-us/articles/5233547176210-What-are-inside-and-outside-labels-for-apparel-products-
@@KerryEgeler Right, but it's only available for tshirts as I said, not hoodies and sweatshirts. I can place a small logo at the top back design areas of hoodies and sweatshirts but if I'm using both front and back to place my designs, it'll be impossible to place logo anywhere. I really wanted to place logo in the inner neck part of hoodies and sweatshirts like on tshirts 🙂
@@ujanisam2142 I think it depends on the garment, because they don’t actually pull the label off. On the t-shirts, they use brands with no labels or labels that are not placed in the center when you add an inside logo, I believe. But I’ll check into this
@@KerryEgeler Thank you Kerry... Please do update on this matter. Appreciate your content and comments
Greetings, yes, I want to read the response about printing logo on more than just t-shirts.
Wish the catalog was larger
im between this and printify, and im having hard time deciding, my main issue is their paper type and lack of options. but then printify is mostly based in us and Canada wich makes it a hassle to sell in Europe ....
I will say that Gelato is currently expanding their catalog quickly. You can check out their updated product catalog at www.gelato.com/custom
I'm still debating Kittl and Gelato for my ecom store.
Greetings, what is your dilemma with choosing which one to go with?
@@tspnetwork8714 I went with gelato. Gelato connected with Shopify, but having a hard time connecting products to newly connected Etsy channel.
Where do you make your store
I prefer Shopify. You can check out this free class on store setup at www.kerryegeler.com/shirtschool
Do they guarantee consistency in brand and quality regardless of country?
They will back all of their printers in each country and replace any items that have quality issues. They also have a very deep integration with each printer to ensure quality.
Great, now I want pepperoni pizza! Thanks a lot Kerry! POD = Pizza On Demand! 😎
YES! 🍕
The wall art has driven me to gelato. I just ordered their museum quality for a test run, lets see how it turns out.
The wall art that I have ordered from Gelato has been really great!
@@KerryEgelerI received the print of their museum quality and it came out terrible. It is of extremely poor quality and even 40% of the image did not show up. I made sure my file was over 300 dpi, yet the quality of the print is severely lacking. I tried to contact Gelato but their virtual assistant kept malfunctioning on me that I was not able to fulfill my complaint. I then went to look for my order in the system to file a complaint that way and my order did not show up. Now I have no way to contact them and I wasted money on a 24x36 print.
Thank you for the post.@@Andrew-qc8jh
Hey, how did the print turn out?
@rylo444 the colors looked dull to me on the museum grade print so I am considering doing giclee printing with other PoD companies
How about the orders, are they automatically paid to the gelato when the order is placed. I made an online store on shopify, downloaded the print on demand application (connected gelato with shopify), when I tested the first product, gelato only sends an order without this order being processed.
Your business pays the Print On Demand Company, and you get paid from Shopify typically 48 hours after the order is placed. The way around fronting the money for the order would be to set your order fulfillment to manual. This would allow you to wait until Shopify pays your business, and then you would manually begin processing through Gelato.
What is their return policy like? So if I'm a seller in the US, and someone from Australia buys a shirt I understand it'll be printed and shipped locally. But then if the person wants to return it and get a refund, exactly how does that sort itself out? Does it get returned to the local manufacturer and I refund the customer? Just curious where the product ends up at if the customers returns and wants a refund.
So this is the same with all PODs, but for buyers remorse (the customer just doesn’t want it) it would have to come back to you, no matter where you are located. Gelato will take care of any quality issues, but anything that falls on the customer would be between your business and the customer. I would have a solid international returns policy on your website to protect you in this scenario.
Did you cut of the label of the tshirt manufacturer? On my sample order, all shirts have the Tags on, which makes it feel "poor" because it doesn't represent my Brand... Any advice?
These labels were done through Gelato's custom labeling option. One of my favorite features!
@@KerryEgeler where do you find this Option? I only have Custom Branding for Posters :/
I made a great T shirt design for myself, on a shirt that appeared to be available here in France. Right at the end of the process when trying to ship, it suddenly wasn't! What a waste of my time.
Who pays for the shipping and printing?
Your business pays the Print On Demand Company, and you get paid from Shopify
Hi there everyone
I started using Gelato for my print on demand products but I have one issue. My customer who lives in United Kingdom ordered a t-shirt but its going to be shipped from Norway. I would like some advice how to resolve this and why the t-shirt was not made in UK. I am sure Gelato has factories within UK too.
Thanks
I would contact Gelato support. Here's the link: www.gelato.com/contact
Gelato almost sounds too good to be true. One thing I am trying to find out, though is... where do they get their products from? Okay, the printing is done mostly locally, but what about the hoodies etc.? Because if I start a business, I'd like for the entire thing to be made locally... want it to be fair and sustainable from beginning to end. When they say production... do they mean the complete production?
Edit: alright i think i got my answer when i saw the mug. too bad, not for me. thank you for this video.
yeah... i know. i thought maybe there are other countries you can bulk buy in and get some discount. would've maybe been okay with turkey but i am not okay with most other asian countries. i'd want fair conditions for them too and not just for the printing + shipping. i know spreadshirt works with turkish manufacturers but you can't say you want turkish products only, can you? and how's the transparency in regards to fair working conditions? i guess for now this isn't for me. @@absolutefreedom8035
I just got some samples and unfortunately they did not survive the wash test. The print is ruined
I would email their support team. Any time we've seen quality issues, they have been great about making it right.
i think the print area on the gelato shirts seems very high up, very near the neck seam, yours doesn't look high, i have a short wide logo and i'm not sure now where to place it, i keep moving it about, doesn't look correct right up by the neck, prntify has a much lower print area, god its so confusing
A good general rule of thumb for design placement would be having the top of your design hit about 4 fingers below the collar.
@@KerryEgeler oh thanks
you can tell this is a sponsored video when everything you say about it is perfect.
I literally added an entire “cons” section to provide counter points
@@KerryEgeler Oh I missed that. Sorry
My only complaint is they don’t have a lot of products to choose from
One thing I like about Gelato is that you can see upcoming additions to their product catalog. You can find those under Products> Coming Soon at www.gelato.com/custom
The biggest problem I find with these print on demand companies is that there is no shipping box customized by the brand, which makes the shipping look unprofessional.
Soooo great looking shipping packaging over sales, is your issue?
Ok
@@keebmarketing didnt get your point sry, can u reformulate?
Kerry, can the CUSTOMER upload their own images with Gelato, or just me?
Yes they absolutely can. You can set it up to be customizable by the customer
@@KerryEgeler Excellent, thanks a bunch. I am using SPOD but shipping to Euro is rough, so am looking at using another for Europe. And I see Gelato has a lot more items. So I'll launch with SPOD, then add Gelato. If you have an aff link, happy to use it?
Can you do me a favor and look at this video titled don’t use print on demand in 2023 by hustle ninjas cause I want to see if you’re saying to use it, is what he is saying true and of course you’ll say it’s not, why?
They have been AWFUL in the UK…
Sorry to hear that
how so? im thinking about using them in the uk...
@@MozzasMowingMusical the communication was awful, they had 0 contact with the production centres kept telling me they were made and shipped, then they were made but not shipped, then they weren’t even made factory was having trouble, then they were refunded the shipping, then after being weeks late at this point I just ended up cancelling and I’m now looking for another option, it won’t work for everyone but I’m even looking into doing it myself 🤣
@@devilstickkid thanks for sharing mate
@@devilstickkid which one has been AWFUL in the uk? Printify? Printful? Gelato?
