Description

Direct‑to‑Film (DTF) printing is one of the most versatile and in‑demand decoration methods today. Full‑color artwork is printed onto a transfer film and then applied to the final product using a heat press. Unlike DTG, DTF works beautifully on both polyester blends and cotton, and it produces a softer, less bulky feel compared to traditional Plastisol prints. It also opens the door to products that once required cut‑and‑weed vinyl—hats, tote bags, and virtually any fabric item.

Our transfers include white ink for crisp, contoured graphics. Each design is backed with a flood white so colors stay vibrant on both light and dark garments. Transfers are stable, easy to store, and perfect for printing now and pressing later whenever you need them.
