In 2013, at the age of just 22, Davis Siksnans and co-founder Lauris Liberts, started a company that would go to redefine the print-on-demand landscape. Their company was and is called Printful. It started as an aspiration to integrate custom print products into the e-commerce world which has since turned into a multi-million-dollar enterprise. Before the establishment of Printful, Siksnans and Liberts were the driving force behind their company Startup Vitamins. This company sold motivational posters and clothing, which would later become the reason for Printful’s success.

The transition came when the two decided to expand their products to include apparel. This, however, had multiple logistical problems at the time with services lacking the requisite speed and quality. With this gap in the market the two decided to start their company, Printful. Within a short period of time their newly started company went a team of five to a company employing over 500 people in the United States, Mexico, and Latvia. They have They have their head offices in Charlotte, Los Angelas, and Riga, Latvia.

The company’s dedication to their market’s innovation is unbeatable, totaling approximately $12 million in printing technology. Notably, $6.6 million was allocated in the most recent fiscal year alone. In a span of just five years, Printful has produced over 6.5 million customized products. Beyond its initial focus on just T-shirts, the company now offers embroidery, screen printing, and an extensive array of customization options across thousands of items.

Printful’s success lies in their early establishment of partnerships with key e-commerce platforms, including Shopify in their early days. These strategic partnerships positioned Printful as a go-to solution for businesses seeking print-on-demand services. As Printful continues to redefine the landscape of print-on-demand, it stands as a testament to the vision and perseverance of its founders.
