Alternatives to Red Bubble

[Onlyme123]

Hi there,
I am wanting to sell a few merch items for my business such as tshirts, stickers, badges etc. I am thinking of using Red Bubble, but wondered if anyone could recommend any other good websites that off similar services?
Thanks!

Why can’t you sell them on your own website?

Redbubble doesn’t have good reviews. Not even sure it’s the right platform to sell your promotional stuff.

Don't suppose the have a London one?

From memory its every 2 years..
The show has lots of different machines for printing, embroidering, laser and so forth along with clothing from T-shirts to heavy duty workwear, I can assure you you would not regret it, often if you contact one of the firms on the list at the website you will get a free ticket otherwise pay on entry

@Onlyme123 - are you going to print yourself and sell online or are you outsourcing the printing?

And it’s not clear if this merchandise is promotional or general products.

Hi,
I am going to be outsourcing the products and selling them. They are general products that I have designed.

Thanks

In which case redbubble isn’t the right platform.

You may need to use a number of different suppliers to get the best deals. Those printing t-shirts may not be able to print stickers and vice versa.

The other option is to research promotional product suppliers. But these often have a MOQ in the hundreds.

Have a look at "Ralawise.com" they supply a massive range of clothing even let you open a site with their setup, couple of others i forget names of, they will be at the show. sell in ones or bulk

Very cheap to print your own and customers logo's these days and use a heat press as a starter

The rise of DTF transfer printing has created a race to the bottom for established garment printers. A metre of DTF can be bought for £6.75, heat presses from £50 from Hobbycraft and the like.

Quality will win in the end...
