Printify vs SINGULET: key differences in Spain/EU
Printify is a marketplace: integrations, automation and the ability to pick print providers per product/region (and enable features like order routing). It’s powerful for basics and testing.
SINGULET is a factory in Spain: more control, often shorter lead times in Spain/EU (depends on SKU) and frequently lower total cost. For premium gifts, every detail (quality + unboxing + timing) becomes reviews.
Printify strengths
- Shopify, Etsy, Amazon integrations…
- Provider network: choose by price, region or rating.
- Huge apparel + basics catalog.
SINGULET strengths
- Gift-first catalog: alarm clocks, lamps, socks, boxers, doormats, cushions.
- Short lead times from Spain + white label experience.
- Simple operations: Excel/CSV (no API) + human support.
Quality and production
With Printify, quality depends on the print provider (materials, calibration, queue and packaging). You can choose by rating and order samples, but switching providers can change the output. On commodity apparel it’s less visible; on personalized gifts, small issues can kill the experience.
At SINGULET everything comes from one factory in Spain with standardized workflows. We control materials, color profiles and packaging. The result: fewer incidents and more consistent customer feedback.
Logistics and lead time
In Spain/EU, Printify’s total time depends on production (typically 2–7 business days, depending on provider/product) plus shipping. For paid traffic, ROAS suffers when delays trigger incidents, reprints or refunds, so align your delivery promise with your SKU and provider.
SINGULET produces and ships from Spain. With daily cutoffs and local carriers, orders can reach end customers faster (depends on product and destination) with a white‑label sender.
Catalog and pricing
Printify wins on breadth: a huge catalog that helps you launch basics quickly and choose providers. But in Spain/EU, total cost and final lead time often decide the sale.
SINGULET focuses on high-intent gift products: alarm clocks, lamps, socks, boxers, doormats, cushions. Less “commodity”, more conversion — and often more competitive on total cost and timing in Spain/EU (depends on SKU/destination).
Note: “cheaper/faster” always depends on SKU, shipping method, destination and season — that’s why benchmarks matter.
White label and experience
Printify is white label, but branding options (packaging, inserts, labels, packing slips) can vary by provider and product. Validate it per SKU if unboxing is a key part of your brand.
With SINGULET, white label is designed as a standard: sender, packaging and unboxing are defined with you (depending on your setup). For gift brands, first impressions drive reviews and repeat purchases.
How to work with SINGULET (Excel/CSV, no API)

Expected result
Fewer incidents, faster shipments in Spain/EU and a more competitive total cost (depends on SKU). End customers perceive a “brand product”, not a marketplace generic.
Typical cases where SINGULET wins

- Brands that want an exclusive catalog beyond crowded marketplaces.
- D2C teams that need premium packaging and a memorable experience.
- B2B companies with corporate events and strict SLAs.
When to stay with Printify
Printify remains useful if you need plug‑and‑play integrations, multi‑country coverage or a massive apparel catalog while selecting providers by region/price. It can also make sense if your advantage is the channel (ads/marketplaces) and you want to minimize operations.
Common strategy: combine (Printify for basics/global; SINGULET for Spain/EU and the gift catalog with white label).
FAQ
Does Printify offer integrations and an API?
Yes. Printify is strong on integrations and API‑driven automation. If your operation depends on direct sync with your store, that’s a key advantage.
How long does Printify take in Spain/EU?
It depends on the product and print provider. Printify publishes typical production ranges and shipping varies by country, method and provider. For campaigns, check the fulfillment status.
Do I need an API to work with SINGULET?
No. You can start with Excel/CSV and an order SOP, without engineering work.
What is “order routing” in Printify?
It’s a feature to reroute orders to an alternative provider if the original can’t fulfill. It can reduce cancellations, but if the provider changes, consistency can change too.
Is Printify white label?
Yes, it’s a white‑label solution. Still, packaging/inserts and branding options can vary by print provider and product, so validate it per SKU.
Can I use Printify and SINGULET together?
Yes. Many brands split by region and product type: Printify for basics/global and integrations, SINGULET for Spain/EU and the premium gift catalog.
Conclusion
Printify is excellent for integrations, a massive catalog and provider flexibility. SINGULET is a better fit when your priority is Spain/EU and you want better pricing and better lead times in general (depends on SKU/destination), with true white‑label control.
If your promise is “premium personalized gift delivered fast”, the simplest strategy is often to manufacture in Spain and keep Printify as a complement when geography or automation is the priority.
