Mainstream print-on-demand product ideas

T-shirts

There are so many ideas you test using the print-on-demand model. Plain t-shirts are the picture-perfect products merchants can use to sell their custom brands. Most suppliers sell a wide range of t-shirt designs (v-neck, round neck, polo t-shirts) in bulk and at exceedingly low prices.

The deal with t-shirts is that they're high selling and are easily adaptable to so many print-on-demand services. SMB owners, for example, might find it easy to customize their companies' brands on t-shirts. 

Backpacks

This is one niche that is not highly saturated, and at the same time, has a high conversion potential. You can source some of the trendsetting fabric design prints from a platform such as Pinterest which has an influx of freshly updated designs.

To a college millennial or highschool teen, a custom branded backpack would feel like a must-have. So the POD drop shipper needs to work with the right demographics.

Drawstring bags also fall under this category. They are predominantly used as merchandise by organizations to figuratively raise some sort of theme awareness. 

Hoodies

Closely similar to t-shirts, selling custom printed hoodies often goes a long way. So far, China's market is aggressively banking on selling replica hoodies. 

If you see a 'Champion' branded hoodie on AliExpress retailing at $30, then chances are, it's a replica. Even so, there's so much revenue that retailers are generating out of this. But on the contrary, it's so significant to pay close attention to quality.

Retailers have a solid option to sell POD services to online shoppers by printing any design which they request. 

Mugs

It's one of the most saturated niche categories in the POD model, yet a high-yielding one. If you walk in a big firm, you won't miss spotting a mug that's branded with the company's logo.

For most organizations, it's more like a ritual that's pretty hard to let go. To make sensible sales, you need to be a little crafty and design brands that are beyond the bare bone, so to speak.

Yoga pants

Yoga lessons are here to stay. What a better way to monetize your POD business than venturing into yoga pants? 

They are easy to blend with multiple print designs. Looking at the number of Yoga enthusiasts, it's true to say that the market potential is quite remarkable. This suggests that you can add this to your online store's product category as a POD service. 

Phone covers

Nearly every one of us owns a smartphone. 

To give your mobile device a glossy look and hide those embarrassing dents, a customized cover sounds like a cheap yet penetrating revamp idea. 

You only need a decent entrepreneurial spirit to hone some eccentric design skills that add up to your print on demand business goals.

Towels

Selling custom printed towels is a grand plan to boost some sales on your POD's storefront. I'm pretty sure that this might sound a little far fetched. 

People embrace going to the beach. There's no doubt about that. That's unquestionably a market demand to leverage on as an online retailer. Not only do eCommerce stores selling fancy towels gain lots of traffic from summer lovers, but also gym members.

Wall stickers

At some point, you might want to add some extra accessories to their personal living space. How about being an interior deco guru? 

It sounds like a bold idea.

You might be startled by the craze people have for lightening up their living spaces. What a potential hunter for this needs to have in check are close links to premium quality canvas suppliers.

Leggings

Whether it's that early morning jog or a yoga session, leggings are always a good mood gesture for ladies. 

Leggings are sporty and convenient for such exercises. To supplement it all, some online stores opt to add a yoga mat as a 'frequently bought together' item. That's a strategy with some multi-fold perks.

First, you get to expand your print on demand service base by introducing a new product on your catalogs.

Secondly, you test your potential buyer's impulsiveness to make more sales. 

Neckties

The casual Friday mood makes most of the 9-5 employees want to dress up and have that unmatched office look. 

A necktie is ideally one niche product that sort of blends in with trendy designs. After all, it fits any occasion no matter the day of the week just like socks or a watch.
