Your designs. Our production.
Focus on designing — we handle everything downstream: high-resolution photo printing, unlimited variants, no warehouse. Your portfolio becomes a product line without you becoming a logistics operator.
Who is this for?
Illustrators and graphic designers face a dilemma: monetize their work without giving up the actual creative craft. Many hesitate to step into the product world because it immediately sounds like warehousing, packing, shipping and accounting — everything that is not design. PrintHub solves the problem structurally: you upload your artwork, we print it on posters, mugs, notebooks or memory boxes as soon as someone buys. No container in Hamburg, no packing machine, no ERP system — just your desk and your Wacom.
What often slows Designers & Illustrators down
Focus on creative work, not on production
You became an illustrator to illustrate. Every hour on shipping labels, printer questions or supplier negotiations is an hour less on the tablet — and it kills motivation.
Print quality has to reproduce colors faithfully
Your color palettes are your signature. If a poster arrives with washed-out color or a mug with a pixelated print, the artistic reputation you built for years breaks.
Managing many collections in parallel
Illustrators often work on 3–5 series at once — animal illustrations, typography posters, seasonal pieces, custom commissions. With warehousing you would need to produce minimum quantities of each design before knowing which one sells.
Etsy, own shop, agency commissions — different channels
You don't sell through a single channel. Etsy for artist editions, your own shop for signature works, occasional agency commissions with licensing deals. Each channel needs its own logistics — hard to coordinate out of one warehouse.
Tailored for Designers & Illustrators
Fully outsourced production
You upload design files, position them on our product templates, define variants (size, color) — and everything runs at our end from there. Each order is printed and shipped individually.
High-resolution photo printing
DTG textile printing, sublimation on mugs, photo-paper printing on posters and art prints. Every process is optimized for faithful color reproduction — we provide sample prints so you can adjust colors before a design goes live.
Unlimited variants without inventory
You can have 200 designs in the store at once, each in 3 sizes and 5 colors — without paying for a single square meter of warehouse space. Only when someone orders do we produce.
Multiple channels, one backend
Use your own Shopify, run Etsy in parallel via our integration and push agency direct-orders through our API. Every order converges in the same partner dashboard.
Concrete scenarios
How Designers & Illustrators use PrintHub in practice.
- 01
Your own online shop with designs
A clean Shopify store with your signature artwork across 5–6 product categories. Posters for collectors, mugs for casual buyers, notebooks as an entry product — all with a consistent visual language.
- 02
Artist editions on Etsy
Limited art-print series, numbered, sold on Etsy. We print on premium photo paper; you can sign physically before packing or digitally in the file — we work it out case by case.
- 03
Collaborations with brands
A fashion brand wants your illustration on shirts — or a furniture maker wants your patterns on poster inserts. We produce directly to the collaboration's end customers while you retain license and creative control.
- 04
Commission work with a physical output
A client commissions a custom illustration and wants it delivered as a poster plus mug. You create, upload the final file to your PrintHub dashboard, send the shipping address — we deliver directly.
