Sunday vs Printsome: an honest comparison for 2026

Sunday and Printsome both put your logo on quality apparel, but they operate at different scopes. Printsome is a UK personalised clothing printing and embroidery service — you send artwork, choose garments, and it prints or embroiders them with a fast turnaround (48-hour express is available) and a printing expert to guide the order. Sunday is a managed European branded-merch platform — it designs, manufactures, warehouses, ships and measures an entire branded-merch program. The honest short version: if you need custom-printed clothing in the UK, fast, ordered job by job, Printsome is a strong fit; if you're running an ongoing merch program with warehousing, swag stores and ROI reporting, Sunday fits better.

The short answer. Choose Printsome for fast UK garment printing and embroidery with expert guidance on a per-order basis. Choose Sunday for a managed program: custom manufacturing beyond decoration, a 550+ catalog, transparent minimums from ~10 pieces, warehousing, swag stores and merch-ROI reporting, made in Europe.

This is less a "which is better" table than a "which is built for your job" table — one prints garments fast, the other runs a whole merch program.

What Sunday is

Sunday is a platform that helps marketing, event and HR teams manage, order and measure the ROI of branded merchandise, all produced in Europe. The catalog runs to 550+ base products and 490+ decoration options with 2,000+ ready templates. Drop a logo on a product in the catalog and preview it in your colors in about thirty seconds, free. Minimums are low and transparent — from around 10 pieces ready-to-wear and around 100–150 for fully custom, Pantone-dyed production — and Sunday warehouses and ships for teams. Over ten years it has become the merch partner to 200+ brands including Google, HubSpot, Deel, Zalando and Booking.com. Explore the platform or read how it works.

What Printsome is

Printsome is a UK service for personalised clothing printing and embroidery. You bring artwork and choose garments, and its team handles decoration with a strong emphasis on speed and service — express turnaround as fast as 48 hours is advertised, and each order is supported by a printing expert who advises on garments, print methods and artwork. It's a practical, well-regarded choice for teams, events, uniforms and merchandise runs where the priority is getting good-quality printed clothing quickly without managing a platform. For UK-based orders in particular, that speed and hands-on guidance are genuine advantages.

Where Sunday wins

  • A whole program, not one print run. Warehousing, reordering and swag stores support an ongoing merch program rather than job-by-job orders.
  • Manufacturing, not just decoration. Pantone-dyed, made-from-scratch production creates fully custom pieces, beyond printing on stock garments.
  • Beyond apparel. 550+ base products spanning drinkware, tech, bags and more, so one partner covers a full collection.
  • Merch as a measurable channel. Sunday ties merch spend to marketing, HR and event ROI.
  • Pan-European production. Made in Europe with multi-country production, useful when recipients are spread across the EU.

Where Printsome wins

Credit where it's due. Printsome's speed is a real advantage — express turnaround as fast as 48 hours is hard to match when a deadline is tight. Its expert-guided service means someone walks you through garment and print choices rather than leaving you to a configurator, and its UK focus makes domestic delivery quick and simple. If you need custom-printed clothing in the UK for an event or a one-off run, rather than an ongoing multi-product merch program, Printsome belongs on your shortlist.
