TeePublic

Tap a star to rate

TeePublic built its early reputation on aggressive, frequent discounting, sitewide sales that can cut retail prices by 20 to 30 percent are common, which drives volume but also means an artist's royalty on any single sale during a promotion period is smaller than the sticker price suggests. It was acquired by Redbubble Group in 2018, so the two marketplaces now share some backend infrastructure and fulfillment capacity even though they run as separate storefronts with separate audiences.

The core catalog is apparel-led, t-shirts, hoodies, and tanks, with stickers, mugs, and phone cases rounding things out, and design search and tagging work similarly to Redbubble's system. Because the sales cadence is so frequent, an artist uploading here should expect royalties to average lower per unit than a marketplace with steadier full-price sales, offset by the extra volume the discounting drives. It suits an artist who wants their designs seen by TeePublic's specific audience in addition to Redbubble's, since the two rarely cannibalize each other's sales directly.
