On March 17, 2023, we’re discontinuing the Unisex Fleece Sweatshirt | Hanes P160 and the Unisex Fleece Hoodie | Hanes P170, so they won’t be available in our Product Catalog anymore.
To make this process as seamless as possible for you, from March 13, we’ll start to automatically fulfill Hanes P160 and Hanes P170 orders with Gildan 18000 and Gildan 18500 instead.
To have the most accurate product information on your store(s), we suggest you remove the Hanes products and add their alternatives—the Unisex Crew Neck Sweatshirt | Gildan 18000 for Hanes P160 and the Unisex Heavy Blend Hoodie | Gildan 18500 for Hanes P170.
Why are we discontinuing Hanes P160 and Hanes P170?
The Gildan sweatshirt and hoodie have the same qualities and look as the Hanes ones, but they come in more colors and at a lower base price, allowing our customers to lower their prices or earn a bigger profit. This is why we’ve made the decision to stop offering Hanes P160 and Hanes P170 in our catalog.
How can I switch the products?
- In your Printful Dashboard, go to the Stores section and select a store that has the Unisex Fleece Hoodie | Hanes P170 listing.
- On top of the page you’ll see a banner listing all your Hanes P170 products. Copy-paste each name in the search bar and follow the steps below for each listing.
- Click on the three dots on the right side of the product.
- If you haven’t saved the existing design yet, select Save as template in the dropdown.
- Then, in the same dropdown, select Delete.
- Open the Unisex Heavy Blend Hoodie | Gildan 18500 and select Add to store.
- Customize it with one of your templates or create a new design.
- Add the finished product to your store.
Follow the same procedure for the Hanes P160 → Gildan 18000 switch.
Why should I switch to other products if my orders will be fulfilled anyway?
We can’t change the product information on your store. To have the correct product descriptions and mockups, we strongly suggest removing all your Hanes P160 and Hanes P170 listings and switching to Gildan 18000 and Gildan 18500. Alternatively, you can adjust the product info within the same listing so that it matches the Gildan products.
Which regions will this discontinuation affect?
As the Hanes products were only available in the US, this is the only region affected by the discontinuation. However, as Gildan 18000 and Gildan 18500 are available globally, you’ll now be able to sell these products with faster shipping to other regions as well.
