Printful Ranked as North Carolina's #1 Startup Employer by Forbes

Charlotte, North Carolina—Printful ranks #1 in North Carolina and #128 overall on America's Best Startup Employers 2021 list by Forbes, a ranking of the 500 most resilient startup companies in America attracting and engaging employees.

America's Best Startup Employers award winners were determined based on employer reputation, employee satisfaction, and growth. As of March 2021, Printful has employed more than 1,600 people worldwide. This, among other things, has increased the company's capacity to print on demand more than 1 million items per month.

Printful has become an attractive employer not only due to its rapid growth but also due to its diverse internal culture. Because of Printful’s ability to adjust and be agile across all levels, the company has been able to continue its operations during the pandemic while also expanding to new locations such as Canada and Spain.

Printful's CEO Davis Siksnans comments: ”We are experiencing major growth in the e-commerce industry, which is why we have to keep expanding our operations globally. We are honored to be recognized among the best startup employers in America, however, now more than ever, we need to keep in mind the importance of maintaining our company culture and take care of our employees.”

So far, the company runs its operations in 9 facilities around the world, out of which four are in the US: two in Charlotte, NC, one in Los Angeles, CA, and a facility in Coppell, TX. To increase production capacity and other operations, Printful has hired almost 1,000 employees in the US alone, making it a total of more than 1,600 Printful employees globally.

Companies for the Forbes America's Best Startup Employer 2021 list were identified by the market research company Statista. A total of 2,500 American businesses founded between 2011 and 2018 with at least 50 employees were evaluated. All companies were considered based on three main criteria. First, employer reputation was evaluated by reviewing content including phrases such as “corporate culture,” “diversity,” and “employee engagement.” Then the overall employee satisfaction was assessed, supported by the growth of the company, examining website traffic and head counts over a two-year period resulting in a final list of the best 500 employers.
