T-shirt Resources – Print on Demand, Fulfillment, Dropshipping, Printers

The search for a bamboo t-shirt that was part of a direct-to-garment (DTG), print-on-demand (POD) t-shirt printer is WAY harder to find than I thought. Everybody offers 100% cotton (including combed & ring spun), poly-cotton (50/50), and tri-blend (polyester/cotton/rayon) tees – but no bamboo. But in the United States, only Printaura offers a bamboo t-shirt from Royal Apparel in their inventory.

But my personal experience with Printaura’s backend interface is it’s clunky and outdated, their WordPress integration with WooCommerce had shipping errors, and their social media support on Twitter is none-existent (as Printaura pointed out when I eventually emailed them with questions). All of their competitor’s Twitter support is excellent and timely, and I believe Printaura is missing the boat by actively ignoring their social media feeds to help customers.
