WashiMill (https://www.washimill.com/ )* Staples (https://www.staples.com/ )* - These are more expensive than Vistaprint for the same product but if you have a coupon or something, may be worth it. Embroidery: Stadri Emblems (https://www.stadriemblems.com/ ) * - I have had poor experiences with their enamel pins, but given that they seem focused around patches, their embroidery services may be better. Alchemy Merch* Printful (Print on Demand) Apparel, Lifestyle, and Home Goods: Printful (Print on Demand) Printify* (Print on Demand) *I have not personally vetted the options marked with an asterisk. I will update this list as I discover and try more manufacturers. Masterlist of Popular Manufacturers: https://webcomicresources.tumblr.com/...
