Beyond apparel and wall art, the POD accessories category offers some of the most interesting margin opportunities in print-on-demand. Small products with low base costs, strong gift appeal, and impulse-purchase pricing — accessories often get overlooked because individual margins seem modest, but bundle strategies and high sales velocity change the math significantly. Here is a breakdown of the best POD accessories to sell on Etsy in 2025.
Keychains
Acrylic keychains are among the most popular small accessories in the POD accessory category. Printify offers acrylic and MDF keychain options:
- Acrylic keychain base cost: $3.50–$5.50 depending on size and shape
- Recommended sell price: $9.99–$14.99
- Design area: typically 1.5×1.5 to 3×3 inches, 300 DPI PNG with transparent background
- Margin: approximately 55–65% after Etsy fees
Keychains work extremely well as impulse gift items. They are the right price for "small thank you" and "stocking stuffer" occasions. Die-cut acrylic keychains — where the keychain shape matches the design outline — have a premium feel at a minimal additional base cost. Popular niche designs: pet breed silhouettes, zodiac charms, profession-specific icons, and cute character designs.
Refrigerator Magnets
Custom printed magnets are a low-cost, high-perceived-value accessory with strong gifting appeal. Printify offers soft rubber and hard acrylic magnets:
- Base cost: $2.50–$4.50
- Recommended sell price: $7.99–$12.99 per magnet; $19.99–$27.99 for sets of 4–6
- Margin: 55–65% per individual; better economics with sets
Magnet sets — themed collections of 4–6 magnets — dramatically improve the economics. A set of 4 dog breed magnets at $22.99 with a $10 base cost and $2 in fees nets approximately $11 — comparable to selling individual magnets at much higher volume. Set bundles are the recommended listing strategy for magnets.
Bookmarks
Custom bookmarks are a charming, low-base-cost accessory popular in the book-lover, literary, and teacher niches. Printify offers laminated paper and acrylic bookmark options:
- Base cost: $2.00–$3.50
- Recommended sell price: $6.99–$9.99 individually; $18.99–$24.99 for a set of 5
- Design area: typically 2×7 inches, 300 DPI, PNG with transparent background
Bookmark sets (5-pack of thematically matched bookmarks) are the natural listing format for this product. A "Book Lover Bookmark Set" with 5 quote-themed bookmarks at $19.99 generates around $10 net profit — excellent for such a small, lightweight product that ships for almost nothing.
Tumblers and Drinkware
Stainless steel tumblers (20oz and 30oz) are a high-growth accessory category on Etsy, driven by the Stanley Cup and Hydro Flask culture. Printify offers sublimation-printed tumblers:
- Base cost (20oz): $14–$20
- Recommended sell price: $32–$42
- Design area: full wrap-around print, approximately 8×3.5 inches for 20oz, 300 DPI
- Margin: 40–55% after fees
Tumbler designs need to account for the full cylindrical surface — the design wraps 360 degrees. Patterns, botanical prints, and large typography work well. The same niches that perform for mugs (funny quotes, pet breeds, professions, birthdays) translate directly to tumblers, often at a higher price point.
Jewelry: Charms and Simple Pieces
Printify has expanded into jewelry through partner providers offering printed charm necklaces, ID bracelets, and metal pendants. This is a newer category in Printify's catalog and margin structures vary, but the opportunity is real for sellers willing to explore it:
- Charm necklace base cost: $8–$15 depending on style and provider
- Recommended sell price: $22–$38
- Niche opportunities: zodiac charms, initial pendants, pet breed charms, birthstone-adjacent designs
Jewelry has strong gifting demand and buyers accept premium pricing without price comparison to the same degree they might for mugs or tees. A well-positioned jewelry listing with strong lifestyle photography can command prices that deliver 40–50% margins even with higher base costs.
Bundle Strategy Across Accessories
The highest-performing accessory shops on Etsy often build their catalog around complementary bundle opportunities: a keychain + matching sticker set, a bookmark set + matching tote bag, a magnet set + coordinating mug. These bundle opportunities increase average order value and create a "shop the whole set" browsing behavior that significantly increases revenue per visitor.
Use CatalogPush to generate listings that reference bundle opportunities explicitly — "get the matching keychain here" in your sticker listing, or "coordinates with our [niche] mug" in your keychain listing. This cross-referencing strategy is easy to build into bulk-generated listing descriptions and drives meaningful incremental revenue.
