Custom DTF Shirts

Custom DTF shirts can be planned around logos, names, numbers, artwork, branded graphics, and other personalized apparel designs.

Start with the shirt, approved artwork, intended placement, final dimensions, and quantity requirements before choosing the DTF transfer format.

Plan the Shirt Design Before Ordering

Prepare each design around the actual garment and intended application area.

• Confirm the final approved artwork
• Measure the intended print area
• Determine the required transfer dimensions
• Choose the front, back, sleeve, or other placement
• Check names, numbers, dates, and spelling
• Confirm the quantity required for each design

Choose DTF Transfers By Size

If an individual shirt graphic already has defined final dimensions, DTF Transfers By Size provide an ordering option based on the width and height required for the artwork.

This format can be useful for individual logos, front graphics, back designs, names, numbers, and other artwork prepared for a specific shirt placement.

Use DTF Gang Sheets for Multiple Shirt Designs

Some custom shirt projects involve several logos, repeated graphics, names, numbers, or different artwork sizes.

For multi-design production, DTF Gang Sheets allow multiple graphics to be organized together.

Before preparing the gang sheet, confirm the final dimensions and quantity required for every design included in the layout.

Custom DTF Shirts for Different Projects

DTF transfers can support shirt projects involving:

• Business and staff apparel
• Team and organization shirts
• Event apparel
• Brand merchandise
• Promotional designs
• Personalized artwork

The appropriate transfer format depends on the actual artwork, shirt placement, dimensions, quantity, and production requirements.

Choose Transfer Size Based on Placement

Transfer dimensions should be planned around the intended position on the shirt rather than one universal size.

A chest logo, full-front graphic, back design, sleeve graphic, name, or number may each require different artwork dimensions.

Prepare Artwork for Repeat Orders

For recurring logos or designs, keep the approved artwork together with its final dimensions, intended placement, and quantity requirements.

This provides a clearer production reference when the same shirt design is needed again.

Prepare for Heat Press Application

DTF transfers are intended for suitable apparel application using a heat press.

Application requirements can vary according to the selected transfer and garment. Follow the instructions provided for the specific transfer rather than assuming that one temperature, pressure, pressing time, cooling period, or peel method applies to every project.

Choose the Right Custom DTF Shirt Transfer Format

Choose transfers by size when individual artwork dimensions are already defined. Choose a gang sheet when several graphics or repeated designs need to be organized together.

Start with the shirt, artwork, placement, final dimensions, and required quantities, then select the DTF transfer format that best fits the project.
