FAQs (Frequent-Asked-Questions) for teeinblue


1. Can I use teeinblue even if I don't use any fulfillment provided in app?

Yes, you can use our app as normal even if you don't use the fulfillment providers which teeinblue integrates with.

2. If I have an API key of other fulfillment providers (excluded from teeinblue's list), can you help me to connect with it?

For this request, we're sorry to say that it's unable to do that, because each fulfillments has a different process and requirements of fulfilling. We suggest you to try out one of the services that we offer you, or manually send orders to your fulfillment services (read Send orders to Fulfillment providers).
If a provider is requested by many teeinblue users, we might consider to integrate teeinblue with it.

3. Do you know where to get clipart?

We suggest users to search for cliparts on some design markets like Etsy or Creative Fabrica. You can search for the niche + "clipart" (eg. "dog breed clipart", "hairstyle clipart") to find what you need for your artwork.

4. How does your pricing plan work? Can you explain the transaction fee? What are free orders meaning?

For all questions about Pricing plan, we have a full article to answer all concerns about pricing. Please visit Pricing FAQs to learn more.

5. Is there any limit of uploading files? And what are the limits?

Yes, teeinblue has limit when uploading files. It's all related to file size or artwork size since our server is limited, in details:
  1. For clipart: maximum size is 64MB per clipart (recommend size < 32MB)
  2. For product mockup: maximum size is 64MB per mockup (recommend size < 32MB)
  3. For artwork:
    1. Maximum size is 64MB per layer (recommend size < 32MB)
    2. Maximum artwork size is 10.000 x 10.000 pixel (recommend size < 5000x5000).

6. What if the printarea suggested by my provider is in different measurement unit (in/mm/cm), not pixel?

teeinblue can only support settings all size in pixel (px), so you need to convert the size of printarea from in/cm/mm to pixel. 
When converting, you may need to notice the dpi.
You can use this website: pixelcalculator.com to convert in/mm/cm to pixel in different dpi.
The higher the dpi is, the bigger the resolution is.
Usually in printing, the standard dpi is 300 and the minimum should be 150. Lower dpi may result to bad printing.
For example: a 4in x 9in printarea can be converted to 1200x2700px with 300 dpi, but only 288x648px with 72 dpi.

Learn more about DPI here: A Guide To Understand DPI.


  1. For Printful, Dreamship and ShineOn: It's their base cost
  2. For CustomCat: It's the recommended price (added-value cost) by them

8. How to set up artwork and printarea for mug following the instruction of my fulfillment services?

If live preview isn't working, it might be because that your theme gallery hasn't been replaced by teeinblue's gallery yet. We have an instruction to add teeinblue's gallery to theme by yourself. But if you find it difficult to implement, please contact our support for help.
