Order custom DTF transfers online with no minimum quantity, no setup fees, no per-color upcharges — and free shipping on every order. Print one shirt or one thousand at the same per-piece quality.
How DTF printing works
A direct-to-film transfer is a full-color print rendered onto PET film with specialty inkjet technology. Heat-activated adhesive powder is applied, cured, and the transfer is heat-pressed onto your garment with a commercial press. The result bonds to the fabric with a soft, slightly raised hand and holds through 50–80+ wash cycles when cared for correctly.
The economic difference vs. screen printing: no screens to burn, no per-color setup, no minimum required to make the math work. That's how one shirt costs the same per piece as fifty.
What DTF is best for
Photographic artwork
Photos, gradients, and soft shadows reproduce cleanly — screen printing genuinely struggles here.
Multi-color designs
Five, ten, twenty colors — DTF charges the same. Screen printing charges per color.
Small quantities
One shirt, three, twelve — all priced flat per piece, all shipped free.
Mixed fabrics
Cotton, poly, blends, performance, even nylon — one technology works across them all.
Fine detail
Thin lines, small text, intricate illustration — sharp, without ink spread.
Sample runs
Order one to confirm the design before committing to a larger team or event run.
Pricing
DTF starts at $9 per piece for singles and drops to $5.50 at 100+ qty — no setup fees, no per-color charges, no minimums, free shipping on every order. White underbase for dark garments is always included. See full pricing or get an instant estimate on the order page.

FAQ
Is there really no minimum?
Correct — one shirt, three, or three hundred. Per-piece price drops with quantity but there's no floor, no setup fee, and shipping is free at any size.
How long does DTF last in the wash?
50–80+ wash cycles with no meaningful color loss when washed cold and dried low. Many customers report no visible wear after a season of weekly use.
Can DTF print white on dark shirts?
Yes — every transfer includes a white underbase printed in the same pass, so colors stay vibrant on black and navy at no extra charge.
What file should I send?
High-res PNG with transparent background works best; vector files are great too. 300 DPI at print size. We review every file and send a free proof before printing.
How fast is turnaround?
Most DTF orders run 1–3 business days in production after proof approval, plus free tracked shipping. Rush 2-day production is $35 flat.
Does DTF work on hats and bags?
Most flat fabric surfaces, yes — shirts, hoodies, totes, many polos. Structured caps are usually better in embroidery.
