Abby B. Coasters make nice gift all year round especially for home owners and coffee lovers! They’re a great kitchen accessory to bring in some color to an otherwise dull room and helps avoid watermarks on expensive furniture (not guilty!).

15 Best Print On Demand Coasters Fulfillment
1. Printify
For coasters, there are four choices to go through. They’re more or less the same so you should compare other aspects like prices, shape and material.
Other unique items you can find on the site that’s related to coasters are printed mugs, tumblers, water bottles, napkins and even cutting boards. You can sell all of these in your store to increase average order value!
Here’s a sample of a Printify coaster I created using a design downloaded from Creative Fabrica. I searched for a coffee design that would look nice when printed on a coaster – this one definitely gives a warm vintage feel!
2. Printful
It’s pretty common to find less products on Printful compared to Printify – especially for non-apparel products. Printful carries a lot more apparel choices and offers multiple printing techniques e.g. DTG and embroidery.
Their cork-back coasters are sold as one piece so unless you’re staying on your own and only need one coaster, don’t forget to add more to your cart before checking out. I find it reasonable to get at least four or six pieces of coasters that are printed in the same design – at any one time!
In a glance, you can see that Printful’s coasters are slightly more expensive than Printify’s – even with the savings you’ll enjoy with Printful Growth and Printify Premium subscription.
Here’s a sample of a Printful coaster I created using one of their quick designs and ready clipart. All I did was I selected my preferred design from Printful’s library and customized the colors to my liking. No image was uploaded on my part!

3. Gooten
Don’t want to work with Printify but want more choices of kitchen accessories to sell in your store? You should head to Gooten.
Most products on Gooten are quite similar to what you see on Printify but choices are less. The website is mainly catered to experienced print on demand sellers so I would only suggest you sign up with Gooten if you have an existing POD store.
Unlike Printful, Gooten’s coasters come in a set of four or six units – smarter choice I believe.
Gooten provides design templates in PSD and JPG formats to refer to before you start designing. Coasters are straightforward products to design compared to t-shirts or mugs, but it is still good to be precise!
Types of coasters you can design:
- Cork-back coasters (packs of 4/6)

4. Prodigi
Prodigi’s square coasters are slightly bigger than the ones I’ve listed above at 3.8″x3.8″ (instead of the usual 3.75″x3.75″). As they’re a POD based in the UK, prices are listed in GBP and most products are shipped from the country.
Thickness of coasters are quite the same throughout most fulfillments at only 4mm. You wouldn’t want it to be thinner as it will be much easier to get damaged. Prodigi’s coasters are sold as a single, set of two, four or six.
If you’re unsure of Prodigi’s quality, you can test out some of their paper products by ordering their sample pack. Coasters are made of paper so the mini samples will be a good reference for you to make your purchase.

5. Redbubble
Looking to start print on demand on the side and don’t want to be spending too much time or money building an ecommerce store? You can look into print on demand marketplaces like Redbubble.
Their catalog is not as extensive as the white label companies I’ve listed above but there’s a nice mix to explore. You can still design coasters and a ton other things with just a few clicks.
Redbubble’s coasters are sold ready in a pack of four so customers won’t have the choice to purchase it as a single. Prices are also quite affordable at about $16 without discounts – your profit margin as a seller is typically 20% (about $3+).
You can increase your profit margin on Redbubble but it will be reflected with an increase of selling price i.e. your price will be higher than other sellers that sell for 20% profit. Not recommended if your designs are easy to compete with!

- Glossy cork-back coasters (packs of 4)

6. CustomCat
Another alternative to Printify and Printful is CustomCat. You can subscribe to their CustomCat PRO subscription for $30/month to save 20%-40% off product prices which makes it quite comparable.
There are 20 background color options you can choose from when designing the coasters. Instead of making your designs in 10 different colors, you can make them in two main ones e.g. black and white. By doing so, you can use the black colored designs on brighter backgrounds and the white designs on darker ones.
Easy and efficient!

7. Zazzle
If you love purchasing custom products with personalization (popular on Etsy), you would also love offering the same personalization to your customers.
A marketplace that allows you to do so on most of their products is Zazzle. There’s a much wider catalogue you can explore on the site compared to any other marketplaces and prices are reasonable.
By selling your designs on Zazzle, you don’t need to be setting up an Etsy store to sell personalized gifts! There’s also a long list of coasters you can design on Zazzle including acrylic, glass and marble ones – not available on any other sites in this list.
Here’s a sample of a Zazzle coaster I personalized to include my website’s name. The coaster was designed by another seller and as a customer, I can choose my preferred color option (there’s 10 choices) and add my own text.
Types of coasters you can design:
- Marble stone coasters
- Hard plastic coasters
- Glass coasters
- Square coasters
- Diameter sandstone coasters
- Square acrylic coaster sets
- Round acrylic coaster sets
- Custom marble stone coasters
- High gloss plastic coasters
- Premium acrylic coaster sets

8. Printed Mint
Printed Mint is a fulfillment you can work with on Printify but as you can see down below, not all of their products can be found on Printify’s catalog. There’s only two types of coaster you can design on Printify that’s from Printed Mint.
Most of the time, sourcing Printed Mint’s products directly from their website can be cheaper. You can also tap into their custom packaging feature that lets you customize product labels, colors of crinkle paper (that goes into a box) and ribbon styles for each order.
There’s a choice of cork-back, neoprene-back or sandstone coasters on the site and the ones that come in a pack can be designed individually. So imagine making a cute set of four coasters in the same theme but not with the same exact designs!
Types of coasters you can design:
- Hardboard back coasters
- Round neoprene back coasters
- Square neoprene back coasters
- Square cork-back coasters
- Sandstone car coasters
- Round cork-back coasters
- Hardboard back coasters set of four

9. Bags Of Love
If you’re based in the UK and don’t like what Prodigi has to offer, you can explore Bags Of Love as an alternative. Aside from the usual square cork-back coasters, there are leather and coin tray ones on the site!
Leather ones make a nice premium gift and as someone who loves buying things that last longer, I would go with leather. The durability of course varies with usage and you should avoid using it with iced drinks (prone to water damage).
BOL’s leather coasters are made of Nappa leather with a black flock backing. You can choose between 5 different stich colors and there’s also vegan friendly options. They are sold as a single piece and for the price, it’s definitely on the costly side.
Types of coasters you can design:
- Coin tray coasters (packs of 1/2/4/6/8/10/12)
- Leather coasters (round/square)
- Square coasters (packs of 1/2/4/6/8/10/12)
| Other kitchen products you can design | Tea towels Chopping boards Trays Plates Placemats Aprons Tea caddy Oven gloves Serving dish Pot holder Magnets Kitchen rugs Plates Bowls Bibs Table cloths Table runners Mugs Glasses Tumblers |
| Available integrations | Shopify (via Contrado app) |

10. Contrado
Like what you see on BOL but want to order from the USA? Head to their parent company’s site, Contrado.
Although they’re originally from the UK, Contrado has printing locations in the USA and offers express shipping within the country (as fast as 1-2 days post manufacturing). Prices are also listed in USD so you have a better grip.
Contrado and BOL shares mostly the same products in their catalog, including the leather and cork-back coasters – not applied to coin tray ones. If you’re trying to justify the premium price, just remember that the leather coasters are handmade!
Types of coasters you can design:
- Leather coasters (round/square)
- Square cork-back coasters (singular or packs of 2-12)
| Other kitchen products you can design | Tea towels Chopping boards Trays Plates Placemats Aprons Tea caddy Oven gloves Serving dish Pot holder Magnets Kitchen rugs Plates Bowls Bibs Table cloths Table runners Mugs |

11. Inkthreadable
On Inkthreadable, you only have the option to sell coasters in a pack of four. They’re a POD company that’s popular in the UK but prices can be listed in seven other currencies aside from the GBP.
Designing the coaster on Inkthreadable can be slightly tricky than others. As you can see in the image below, the template is divided into four main square areas. The system only accepts a single image upload so you’ll need to make a design for the four coasters in one single image that will be expanded to all corners.
Therefore, I recommend downloading the coaster design template (available on product page) for you to refer to before making the designs!
Types of coasters you can design:
- Pack of four cork-back coasters

12. Inkedjoy
Looking for coasters that are much cheaper than others I’ve listed above? You should check out fulfillments like Inkedjoy.
Be mindful that prices shown does not include shipping charges and it can be quite pricey to ship from China if you’re just ordering a single unit. Of course, the weight of the coasters play a part but you’ll need to shop smart!
Depending on the shipping option you go for (there’s 12 choices), it will also take a minimum of 5-8 days (express shipping) for your orders to be shipped to the USA. It can also take as long as 20 days (standard)!
Other than the common square and round coasters, you can design heart-shaped ones on Inkedjoy for the same price. All are made with heat-resistant polyester fabric top and comes with black non-slip neoprene rubber backing.
Types of coasters you can design:
- Square coasters
- Round coasters
- Heart coasters
| Other kitchen products you can design | Table cloths Mugs |

13. 99DIY
Another affordable fulfillment you can explore for coasters is 99DIY. Their coasters are similar to the ones you see on Inkedjoy but it’s much cheaper (by about half the price!)
99DIY doesn’t carry the usual square ones so you’ll need to source elsewhere if you prefer those. Just like Inkedjoy, their prices do not include shipping charges and shipping time can take as long as 10-15 working days from China.
Working with oversea print on demand companies only make sense when you’re ordering in large quantities!
Types of coasters you can design:
- Heart coasters
- Round coasters

14. CafePress
Keen on working with a POD marketplace that’s based in the USA? Check out CafePress, one of the oldest websites for print on demand sellers.
The site works just like Redbubble and Zazzle but they’re only accepting sellers from a specific list of 26 countries (link below) and ships to the same countries only. As a seller, you can offer personalized designs to customers for some products on CafePress, including coasters.
Their square coasters come with four felt pads to protect surfaces from scratches and is slightly bigger than others – measuring 4.25″ x 4.25″.
Types of coasters you can design:

15. DropShipCN
If you want to design marble coasters but need an alternative to Zazzle, DropShipCN’s range of coasters would impress you. They’re a fulfillment based in China like both Inkedjoy and 99DIY so prices are slightly cheaper.
What makes it better is that the prices you see include free standard shipping so unlike the prior two, you don’t need to calculate total costs further.
DropShipCN’s marble wood coasters are 0.5″ thick, made using both acacia wood and white marble. Your design will be engraved on the product as it’s quite impossible to print on the surface.
