I thought I would give a review for Alex at NeatoPOD. This is my second sample I’ve received from him, and both samples have been excellent.
I tried DTG from Printify, both by Monster Digital and SwiftPOD, as per the general consensus of their work being “quality.” I have no idea why they get so many good reviews. The quality of their printing was terrible. The colors were undersaturated, and there were white inflections from the undercoat peeking through the design, making it look “fuzzy” and low quality. If I were a customer, I would request a refund straight away, which I did — and they refunded me quickly.
I then tried Awkward Styles, as some reviews were advocating a superior product. I tried both their DTG and DTF options. The DTG was worse than Printify, where a navy blue was changed to a baby blue for some reason. The same issue occurred, with the white undercoat peeking through the design, making it look poor quality. The DTF was superior, and I got the same design that you see here, except the colors were a light purple, even though the design is clearly a darker shade of purple. So again, it was a fail.
I decided POD was just terrible quality and that it would not be possible to start a “real clothing” brand with retail quality, to my dismay.
That was until I got a free sample from NeatoPOD, and the quality was night and day. He uses a type of DTF that’s really nice. The colors are accurate, and he nailed the darker shade of purple as required from the design. As you can see in the pictures, there is no white undercoat peeking through the design. All the colors are as they should be. They’re very bold and saturated in person. Take into account this isn’t the best lighting I’m taking these photos in, especially the zoomed-in shots, but I wanted to show the clarity of the print and how the colors are clear and uniform. There are no misplacements, and the design is laid out where it should be and aligned properly.
So as a printer, I think he’s really great. His customer service is always polite and professional and he seems to really care about the people who use his service, although he’s not as fast to respond as the bigger companies, and this is reasonable considering how much more resources they have.
The only two pain points I can think of are the price, but you get what you pay for. I would rather sell a higher quality product that a customer will be happy receiving over making more profit using Printify, where the customer will probably wear it once or twice then throw it out. I also wish he used better quality polymailers, they’re a little thin and this can come across as ‘cheap.’
The app is also going through some early phases and will take some time to reach industry standard.
That being said, I really rate his POD company as a step above the bigger ones when it comes to quality of product, and anyone wanting to make an actual retail brand, should consider his small shop as a viable option.
