DTF Garment Transfers
Artwork, ordering and application guidance for ready-to-press transfers.
What Is a DTF Garment Transfer?
DTF is a full-colour printed transfer designed to be heat-pressed onto suitable garments. It is useful for detailed artwork, logos, text and multi-colour designs.
Which Artwork File Should I Supply?
A high-resolution PNG with a transparent background is usually best. Supply artwork at the final required print size and aim for 300 DPI. Vector files may also be suitable.
Can You Print a Screenshot or WhatsApp Image?
Small or compressed images can produce soft or pixelated prints. Send the original artwork file wherever possible. Our team can advise if the file quality is unsuitable.
Do DTF Transfers Have a Minimum Order?
Selected sizes and products may be available without a large minimum. Gang sheets and bulk quantities are also available for businesses and resellers.
What Heat-Press Settings Should I Use?
Temperature, pressure and pressing time can vary by film, adhesive and garment. Always follow the application instructions supplied with your order and test when appropriate.
UV-DTF Stickers & Hard-Surface Transfers
Important information about surfaces, application and care.
What Is UV-DTF?
UV-DTF is a printed adhesive transfer for suitable hard surfaces such as certain glass, plastic, metal and coated items. It is applied without a heat press.
How Do I Apply a UV-DTF Transfer?
Clean and dry the surface, position the transfer carefully, apply firm even pressure, and peel the carrier according to the supplied instructions. Avoid touching the adhesive.
Which Surfaces Are Suitable?
Smooth, clean and non-porous surfaces generally produce the best results. Textured, flexible, oily, silicone-coated or low-energy plastics may not bond reliably, so testing is recommended.
Are UV-DTF Transfers Dishwasher Safe?
Care depends on the item, surface and application. Gentle hand washing is the safest option unless your supplied product instructions specifically state otherwise. Do not soak or scrub the design.
Can I Reposition a UV-DTF Transfer?
UV-DTF transfers are intended for a single application. Once the adhesive touches the surface it may not reposition cleanly, so check alignment before applying pressure.
Personalised Gifts & Custom Printing
How personalisation, approval and made-to-order products work.
Which Products Can Be Personalised?
Available options include clothing, baby items, mugs, tumblers, keepsakes and many other gifts. The product page shows the personalisation fields and options available for that item.
Can I Upload My Own Photo, Logo or Design?
Yes, on products that include an upload or design option. Use the highest-quality original file available and check that names, dates and spelling are correct before ordering.
Will Printed Colours Match My Screen Exactly?
Screen brightness, material, ink and printing method can affect colour. We aim for a strong, attractive result, but exact screen-to-print colour matching cannot always be guaranteed.
Can I Return a Personalised Product?
Personalised products are made specifically for you and generally cannot be returned for a change of mind. Contact us promptly if an item is faulty, damaged or materially different from the confirmed order.
Can You Help Me Create a Design?
Yes. Send us your original files, required product, wording and preferred style. Artwork or design assistance may depend on the complexity of the request.
Orders, Artwork & Support
Useful information before placing a personalised or business order.
When Does Production Start?
Production starts once payment has been confirmed and we have the required product choices, personalisation details and usable artwork. Orders requiring clarification may take longer.
Can I Change a Design After Ordering?
Contact us immediately. Changes may be possible before production begins, but cannot be guaranteed once printing or personalisation is underway.
Do You Handle Business, School or Team Orders?
Yes. We can assist with branded clothing, uniforms, DTF transfers, embroidery, gifts and bulk requirements. Send the products, quantities, sizes, deadline and artwork for a quote.
