Direct to Film Transfers
Direct to Film (DTF) transfers are one of the most versatile and user-friendly decoration methods available today.
Ideal for vibrant, detailed designs, they’re suitable for almost any type of garment – including those that are typically difficult to print on.
DTF transfers produce soft, flexible, and long-lasting results, whether you are printing bold full-colour graphics or simple single-colour logos.
Why Choose DTF?
DTF transfers are an excellent choice for anyone looking for flexibility, accuracy, and professional results across a wide range of garments. They can reproduce everything from vibrant, full-colour graphics to clean, single-colour logos with impressive precision. The finish is soft, durable, and slightly stretchy, allowing the print to move naturally with the fabric while maintaining its quality after repeated washes.
How Do They Work?
Because there are no set up costs, DTF transfers are ideal for very short, short, and medium runs. They are also quick to produce and easy to apply.
