Printful is an online Drop shipping and print on demand company based in Chatsworth, California. Printful was founded in 2013 by Lauris Liberts as part of the Draugiem Group. Printful provides automated on-demand printing and fulfillment for E-commerce stores for custom t-shirts, posters and other print products. Ecommerce has experienced 14.6% growth in 2015, while Printful has experienced 283% growth in 2015.

Printful was launched in 2013 without investment, lead by Lauris Liberts, co-founder of the Draugiem Group, home of the Latvian social media platform, Draugiem. The social network's success spawned other startups such as the GPS tracking system Mapon established in 2006 and the text messaging service, Text2Reach in 2008. This was followed by a shift to focus on the global market, which resulted in the development of projects such as Desktime, and later Behappy.me and Startup Vitamins.

Printful was created in response to demand for automatic print fulfillment while running Startup Vitamins, an online store selling business quotes on posters.

The first purchased printer was operated by Liberts and his wife from their home in California, before the first employee and garage warehouse were obtained.

In 2014 Printful moved to a larger facility in Burbank, California and in 2015 moved into a 35,000 sq ft facility in Chatsworth, California where the company is currently located.

The company began by offering designs on posters, t-shirts and other products.

Printful provides integrations for the largest ecommerce platforms such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy and other. The key features of its service is the degree of automation that its API offers.
