Threadless Strengthens European Production and Fulfillment Through Partnership with Print Logistic
Threadless, an iconic print-on-demand platform supporting independent creators, is strengthening its European production and fulfillment capabilities through its strategic partnership with Print Logistic. We provide EU-based production and fulfillment for a wide range of eligible apparel products ordered by European customers through Threadless and Artist Shops, with availability depending on the product and delivery destination.
Threadless: Built Around Independent Artists
Founded in Chicago in 2000, Threadless has spent more than 25 years helping independent artists turn their artwork into products and build their own businesses. Over that time, the company has partnered with hundreds of thousands of creators, bringing their work to millions of fans worldwide.
Its Artist Shops platform lets creators launch and run their own online stores for free. Artists upload their designs, choose from more than 200 products, customize their storefronts and set their own prices. Threadless handles production, fulfillment, transactions and customer service, with no upfront costs, inventory requirements or minimum order quantities.
Easier Shopping, Production Closer to Customers
Threadless and Artist Shops have introduced a new ecommerce experience, with localized shopping in supported currencies and an improved checkout that lets international customers shop more seamlessly. Alongside it, many of these products can now be produced within the EU rather than shipped from the United States.
"People have been buying artist-created tees from us all over the world since day one. For the last 25 years that meant a fan in Europe paid in US dollars and waited for a package to cross the ocean. That never sat right with me. With Print Logistic, those orders now get made in Europe, close to the people buying them, and the artist didn't have to change a thing. Faster delivery, cheaper shipping, same weird and wonderful art. I'm so stoked to finally be able to say this out loud!"

Print Logistic: Powering Threadless’s European Production Network
Working with a platform like Threadless takes production infrastructure that can handle a constantly changing mix of designs, garment styles and sizes as demand grows. In July 2026, we relocated our Polish production operations to a new facility in Łódź covering approximately 6,200 m². It is the largest production hub in our network, with space to expand our equipment, manufacturing and fulfillment operations, and it strengthens our ability to support partners at this scale.
More Opportunity for European Artists and Artists Serving European Customers
Stronger European infrastructure benefits creators based in Europe as well as artists elsewhere who sell to European customers. Eligibility for EU-based production depends on the product and the customer’s delivery destination, not on where the artist is based, so creators anywhere in the world can benefit when eligible orders go to European fans. With production in both Europe and the US, they can reach both markets without separate manufacturers, stock in several places or cross-border logistics of their own, while keeping control of their artwork, storefronts and pricing.
We’re proud to support Threadless’s continued growth and the independent creators whose designs reach fans around the world.
