This review is for anyone who is interested in or considering drop-selling custom printed products. This is a review of Black Mug 15oz as manufactured and provided by MyLocker. First, we'll discuss and rate various aspects of the product, such as print quality and durability. Then, we'll provide an overall rating + summary with a final recommendation. Note: we are reviewing this within the context of Printify, but this review is based on the print provider themselves and can apply in other contexts as well.
Note: this review is based on the quality of products printed by MyLocker via Printify and does not reflect the quality or ratings of our own products, even if some of the same images are used. If you have any additional questions after reading the review, please leave a comment with your question and we'll be happy to give an answer.
The horizontal and vertical margins are much larger on the printed mugs than they are in their design specifications and even than their own generated mockups. The margins themselves may vary slightly from mug to mug, but they are consistenly incorrect. Slight differences in the top vs bottom margins may make the image appear un-centered and squished. The large left and right margins will make the design appear too shifted from the sides. The colors may or may not appear slightly duller or darker than in the mockups, depending upon the design. For these reasons, we consider this print provider non-viable for this mug and thus do not use it on our own store catalog. In the photos below, we've included a mockup of I Turn Java into JavaScript and the actual printed mugs for comparison, as well as a few other photos.
The body of the mug is made of strong, solid ceramic. It has the level of weight and durability one would expect of a ceramic mug this size.
As of writing this review, the price is $6.70 for the mug and $8.00 for shipping within the US. The combination of these prices makes it possible to keep prices competitive but difficult to to so while maintaining a good profit margin.
Our final ratings and recommendations are provided below. If you'd also like to take a look at the product and print provider for yourself, feel free to take a look on Printify.
Rating | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ |
---|---|
Print Quality | The margins on the print are consistenly much larger than they should be according to design specifications. Colors may also appear slightly off |
Materials Quality | The materials are strong and durable. |
Production Costs | The prices will allow you to remain competitive but with a potential tradeoff in profit margin. |
Overall Recommendation | Avoid using this print provider, as they cannot reliably reproduce your designs to match even their own mockups. |
