Celebrating 5 Years: Teeinblue's Journey of Empowering Stores with Personalized Products

Teeinblue is turning 5 - a major milestone for us to reflect and treasure! What started as a simple idea has grown into something far more meaningful. As we celebrate this special moment, let’s look back on where it all began, celebrate the milestones we’ve achieved, and share an exciting glimpse into what’s coming next!

5-Year Recap of Growth

After 5 years, we are proud to become the leading POD product personalizer on Shopify. It fills us with immense joy and honor to see Teeinblue regularly featured as the most popular app in the Print-on-Demand category and highlighted as a trending Shopify solution.

Our goal of providing end-to-end solutions has resonated with users, driving remarkable growth. Since 2020, Teeinblue has powered over 14 million personalized orders, with a year-over-year order growth of 50%. Together, we and our users have generated nearly $426 million. These numbers reflect not just our growth, but the success of thousands of Shopify stores using Teeinblue.

Making this happen has taken countless hours of effort across research, development, marketing, and support. It’s a journey we’re truly proud of, fueled by passion, dedication, and creativity every step of the way.

The Spark: Where It All Began

Our initial vision was clear: to create an end-to-end product personalization app tailored for Print-on-Demand. We noticed sellers struggling with fragmented workflows: switching between different tools for design, personalization option setup, and order processing. That sparked our mission to create Teeinblue: a streamlined app where sellers can do everything in one place.

From the start, our core value has been to always put users at the heart of everything we build. By actively listening and gathering user insights, we successfully shaped the app.

Here, we would like to express our great appreciation to our earliest users. Even when we faced limitations like a small team and a lack of full understanding of their needs, they generously shared feedback and patiently waited.

Teeinblue’s Evolution for Product Personalization

Game-Changing Updates Powering Success

Since 2020, our journey has been all about continuous innovation for user success. Every update we launch is inspired by users' needs and feedback. We're proud to introduce some of our key developments that transform the experience of selling personalized products, while also highlighting the growth of our app over the years:

• Bulk Fulfill (January 2021): This update simplified order processing by allowing users to fulfill multiple orders at once, saving significant time and effort.  
• Campaign 2.0 (September 2021): We redesigned the entire campaign setup to be more intuitive, flexible, and powerful, helping users bring even the most complex ideas to life with ease.
• Team management (April 2023): As stores scaled, we made it easier to grow together, enabling collaboration with team roles tailored to each business’s needs.
• Campaigns by Shopify products (September 2023): This feature unlocked even more possibilities for sellers by turning existing Shopify products into customizable ones.
• Teeinblue Boundless (March 2025): It’s the beginning of making Teeinblue accessible to sellers everywhere. We expanded beyond Shopify, powering personalized products on website builders like WooCommerce, Magento, Prestashop, and more.

Shaping the Next Wave of Personalization Trends

The personalization landscape is always evolving, and Teeinblue strives to incorporate the latest trends rapidly. We started with just 3 personalization features: text, clipart, and photo upload. Until now, we have already expanded our personalization offers to more than 12 options, taking your customization game to a new level. Among these, here are 5 trending features updated in early 2025 to help sellers stay on top of the wave, including:

• Spotify song: We brought music into heartfelt design, allowing customers to find their favorite Spotify song and instantly see the title, artist, and album cover.
• QR code: With just a simple input, customers can generate a custom QR code leading to their link, message, or video, making your products interactive and unforgettable.
• Calendar: We turned meaningful dates into visual keepsakes. When customers choose a date, the app will instantly show a calendar for that month, with their selected date highlighted.  
• Spiral text: This feature gave words a new shape. Users can create eye-catching designs with text that wraps in a spiral shape.  
• Moon phase: We captured the moon’s magic to help users design a cosmic, emotional artwork. In stores, customers can personalize products with the specific moon phase on a date.

And we're not stopping there; we are continuously refining our development to enhance efficiency, aiming to address your needs and deliver helpful updates even faster and more effectively in the future.
