Migvan

Migvan is a print shop in Kfar Saba, Israel, that prints T-shirts, hoodies, drinkware, textiles and gift items one at a time, and runs a print-on-demand program for people who sell those products through their own online store. Orders from the seller's site pass to Migvan, which prints, packs and ships them to the end customer inside Israel. The whole site is in Hebrew, and the offer is built for Hebrew-speaking sellers with Israeli customers rather than for an international audience.

How the POD program works

The company's POD page sets out the model in three steps. The order is placed on the seller's own system, which the page says can be your own website, Wix or a similar platform. Through what the page calls a special integration, the order reaches Migvan together with the customer's delivery details and the print and design files. Migvan then matches the print method to the product according to the agreement with the seller and starts production. Finally a courier delivers the product to the seller's customer.

The FAQ on the same page names WordPress with WooCommerce and Wix among the platforms, "and more". The company's longer guide to opening a POD store adds that sellers who prefer Shopify or Wix are supported through webhooks, and describes the automatic handoff as running through a Zapier plugin that Migvan installs together with the seller. In practice that means the store stays with the seller and Migvan sits behind it as the production and shipping partner.

For sellers who do not run a store, the same catalog can be bought directly on the site: pick a product, upload a finished design or build one in the online design tool, and check out. That consumer shop is the bulk of the site, and the POD program is the part of it aimed at businesses.

Products and print methods

The catalog is wide. For apparel the menus cover round-neck and V-neck T-shirts, oversized cuts, dry-fit shirts for men and women, long sleeves, polos, children's shirts, tank tops, button-up shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies including a premium hoodie, softshells, sweatpants, football and basketball jerseys, baby clothes and pajamas. Beyond clothing the site prints on caps, socks, boxers, aprons, buffs, pillows, bedding, blankets, towels, bags and coolers, puzzles, teddy bears with a printed blanket, photo stands, license plates, keychains, mouse pads, umbrellas, kippahs and glass. Drinkware takes a whole section, with mugs, thermal mugs and thermal bottles, several of them offered with laser engraving.

The POD page claims Migvan is the business with the widest range of custom printed products in the country, and invites sellers to pick any product on the site and sell it in their own store.

The homepage lists the print methods: screen printing, flex, flock, sublimation, DTF and DTG. The POD guide names DTF, sublimation and DTG as the methods behind the POD service, and the site also offers computerized embroidery and laser engraving. The homepage explains that the right method depends on what the garment is for, how often it will be washed and the character of the artwork, and says the staff will ask those questions when an order comes in.

Migvan also prints on branded blanks. The brands listed on the POD page are Columbia, Nike, FOTL (Fruit of the Loom), S-Wear, Ombre, Tagos, UA (Under Armour), Worker, X-pen, Givony, Asobu, Lotto, Saucony, Sense, Aztec and Zippo. The POD page pitches this as a way to sell branded goods rather than anonymous blanks.

Pricing

Prices on the consumer shop are shown per item in shekels. A 72-piece cardboard puzzle runs from ₪79 to ₪109 depending on options, a white thermal bottle is ₪95, the ASPEN thermal mug is ₪145, and a large premium thermal bottle with laser engraving is ₪169. The homepage splits shirt orders into two bands, 1 to 50 shirts and over 50 shirts, advertises quantity discounts, and gives 10% off anything designed in the online tool with the coupon code "design".

POD pricing works differently. The POD page says the price range varies a great deal and offers two models. One is a fixed price that does not change with the number of products ordered through Migvan. The other counts the month's orders at the end of the month and adjusts the price list to that volume. Sellers can also buy a prepaid card, the page's example being 100 shirts paid in advance, or settle up at the end of each month, with a tax invoice for every transaction. A POD price list is offered as a download on that page. The guide's advice is to start at two to three times cost.

Minimums and samples

The homepage says there is no minimum order, and the FAQ adds that almost every product on the site can be bought from a single item. A few brands and products from the corporate gift catalog start at 10 or 20 pieces, and anything that cannot be bought on the site goes through WhatsApp for a quote. For orders over 20 shirts the FAQ suggests asking for a quote so the print method suits the job.

Sellers can order a sample of any product at a reduced price to check product and print quality before starting, by contacting the company. The guide recommends doing that before a larger campaign to check colors, stitching and packaging.

Shipping, packaging and branding

The POD page commits to a maximum delivery time counted from the moment the order enters Migvan's system, and says most shipments reach the customer's home sooner than that. When a parcel leaves, the courier sends the end customer an SMS with the tracking number. Delivery costs ₪35 including VAT anywhere in the country, according to the POD page. The homepage separately promises nationwide delivery in Israel, free shipping on orders over ₪250, and pickup from the factory store in Kfar Saba, with lockers for pickup outside opening hours.

On branding, the POD page says Migvan can produce stickers with the seller's brand and wrap each shirt in cellophane with that sticker. Sellers who already have branded boxes or bags can store them at Migvan, and the company packs their orders in them. Further packaging options are available by arrangement.

Design files and support

For artwork the FAQ recommends a transparent PNG with no black or white background, and suggests setting new files at A3 at 300 DPI. Orders placed by WhatsApp or phone get a sketch for approval before printing; orders designed in the online tool are their own sketch, though a buyer can ask for another in the checkout notes. The POD page also says detailed size charts are available for every shirt type, and the guide adds that they come in centimeters or inches, which matters for a seller trying to keep returns down.

Support runs through WhatsApp, with a bot that asks the quote questions, and by phone, with hours of Sunday to Thursday 9:30 to 18:00 and Friday 9:30 to 12:00. Payment on the site is by credit card other than American Express and Diners, bank transfer, PayBox or PayPal. The company also has an app on the App Store and Google Play. The POD page shows a Google rating of 4.9 based on 472 reviews.

Who it suits and who it does not

Migvan suits a Hebrew-speaking seller with an Israeli customer base who wants a local partner behind a WooCommerce, Wix or Shopify store: someone who wants branded blanks such as Nike or Columbia, a broad gift catalog alongside apparel, branded cellophane packing, and a fixed or volume-based monthly price rather than a self-serve dashboard. The pickup option in Kfar Saba and the committed delivery window are practical for a small shop selling inside the country.

It fits less well for a seller outside Israel or one selling to customers abroad, since every delivery promise on the site is for Israel, and for anyone who needs an English interface or English support. Sellers who want a click-to-connect app with a public base-cost table will also find the setup more hands-on: the integration is arranged with the company, and POD prices come from a quote or a downloadable price list rather than a published catalog of base costs.
