Honest comparison

Printer's Friend vs shopVOX

Shop management for custom manufacturers. Here's how we stack up.

Pick shopVOX if apparel is one line of a broader custom-manufacturing business. Pick Printer's Friend if apparel decoration is the business.

shopVOX spans signage, promo and apparel. That breadth is its strength and its cost: the workflow is generic where apparel decoration is specific. Printer's Friend only does apparel, so screens, pretreat, gang sheets and stitch counts are first-class fields rather than custom ones.
