Direct to Film Transfer

DTF Transfer provides a practical way to prepare custom designs for compatible apparel and textile projects. Direct-to-Film transfers are printed onto transfer film and later applied to garments using heat and pressure.

This format can support custom T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, branded apparel, event merchandise, staff clothing, and other compatible textile products.

The appropriate transfer option depends on your artwork, required dimensions, garment material, quantity, and production workflow.

Choose the Right DTF Transfer Format

Different apparel projects may require different transfer sizes or layouts. Individual transfers are useful when each design needs a specific dimension, while gang sheets can help organize several graphics within one larger sheet.

• Individual designs: Choose transfers according to the dimensions required for your artwork and garment placement.
• Multiple graphics: Use a gang sheet when several designs can share the same printable area.
• Repeat artwork: Organize logos, names, numbers, or recurring graphics according to the quantities required.
• Custom apparel: Prepare transfers for shirts, hoodies, uniforms, merchandise, and other compatible garments.

Order DTF Transfers by Size

For projects that require individual transfer dimensions, DTF transfers by size provide a direct ordering option for specific artwork placements.

This format can be useful for chest graphics, back designs, logos, names, sleeve graphics, and other individual apparel placements.

Select the transfer dimensions according to the artwork and garment you plan to use.

Ready-to-Press DTF Transfer Options

If you want prepared transfers for garment application, ready-to-press DTF transfers provide an option where transfer production and garment application are handled as separate stages.

This format can support projects such as:

• Custom apparel orders
• Brand merchandise
• Staff and team apparel
• Event garments
• Repeat logo or design applications

The appropriate transfer format depends on the artwork, quantities, garment type, and production workflow.

Preparing Artwork for DTF Transfers

Before placing an order, prepare the artwork according to the requirements of the selected transfer product.

Review:

• The intended print dimensions
• Artwork resolution and image quality
• Background and transparency requirements
• The number of copies needed
• The intended garment placement

Careful artwork preparation can help make the ordering process easier to manage.

How DTF Transfers Are Applied

Application requirements can vary depending on the transfer and garment.

Before pressing, confirm:

• The recommended temperature

Follow the instructions supplied with the specific transfer instead of using one universal setting for every garment.
