The editorial note

What to know about Gelato

Gelato is a print-on-demand platform that produces orders locally in 32 countries — so a customer in Germany gets their order printed and shipped within Germany, not shipped from the US. This local production network reduces carbon footprint and significantly cuts shipping times. Gelato focuses on wall art, greeting cards, and stationery, making it popular with designers selling on Etsy.
