[The Cloud Awards](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00089uk/the-cloud-awards) program issued a final call for entries ahead of its Friday, October 23, 2026 deadline, with four pillars spanning business systems, platforms, security and impact, according to [PR Newswire](https://www.cloud-awards.com). Printify's own research found that merchants can spend up to 90% of their product publishing time creating or sourcing mockups. The company said standard marketplace mockups look identical from seller to seller, while professional photoshoots cost hundreds of dollars and take days or weeks to turn around. AI Mockups draws on the exact product, design placement and specifications already in the Printify Catalog, so merchants get publish-ready visuals in seconds without switching tools. Sellers choose human models and background settings, and images are generated inside the listing workflow they already use. "Most AI image tools ask merchants to become prompt engineers. We built AI Mockups so they don't have to," said Laura Ramza, Product Manager at Printify. "Because the tool already knows the product, the design, and where it sits, a seller with no design background can get a listing-ready lifestyle image in seconds." ## Printify's Scale Behind the AI Mockups Tool Printify is a print-on-demand marketplace connecting merchants with a global network of print providers, enabling inventory-free selling of customizable products through integrations with Shopify, Etsy, TikTok Shop and Amazon, according to company records. The same records show more than 10 million registered merchants and sellers on the platform, more than 60 million total orders completed globally, and reach across 209 countries and territories. Printify was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in San Francisco. Its funding rounds on record number five, including a $45 million Series A in December 2021 led by Index Ventures and a $3 million seed in May 2019 led by Bling Capital. ## Printify's Product Rollouts Before the Award Nod Printify launched a ChatGPT app in May 2026 enabling conversational AI design generation that flows directly into purchase orders, with an initial rollout in the United States, according to akta.pro [records](https://akta.pro/company-data).
