How it works

Press, peel,
wear forever

Learn how to apply DTF transfers step by step, key benefits, and why DTF printing is the fastest way to get your designs onto fabric.

The basics

What Are DTF Transfers?

Direct to Film (DTF) transfers are the simplest way to get designs from screen to fabric. They produce rich colour, a soft feel, and stay strong through repeated washes. Unlike older methods, there's no weeding, no limits on detail, and they press cleanly onto cotton, polyester, blends and performance fabrics.
