Small businesses rarely need 144 identical shirts, but that is what many print shops quote. Our custom DTF transfers let you print exactly what you need: five staff shirts this month, a dozen hoodies for a pop-up next month, a test run of a new merch design. There is no minimum order and no setup fee.

Orders placed by 2 PM EST ship the same business day, and shipping is free on orders over $100.

Three Ways Small Businesses Use DTF

  • Staff uniforms: a left-chest logo on tees, polos and aprons, with a larger logo on the back.
  • Merch to sell: stock transfers and press shirts as orders come in, instead of carrying finished inventory in every size.
  • Giveaways and events: branded shirts and totes for trade shows, sponsorships and grand openings.

If you print for your own customers, see our cost comparison of outsourcing transfers versus buying a printer.

Why It Keeps Costs Down

DTF has no screens and no per-color charges, so a full-color logo costs the same as a one-color one. Putting several logos and sizes on one gang sheet is usually the cheapest way to print, because you pay for the sheet length rather than each piece. Prints hold up through 50 or more washes, so staff shirts keep looking professional.

Three Ways to Order

Order DTF transfers by size when you have one design in one size. Stock sizes run from 2 x 2 to 12 x 16 inches. If you have several designs, names or sizes, the Gang Sheet Builder lets you arrange them on a single 22.5-inch-wide sheet and pay for the sheet rather than each piece. If your layout is already done, upload your own gang sheet as a print-ready file, up to 300 inches long. Not sure what size to pick? The DTF transfer size chart lists recommended widths for every common placement.

How to Press Them

Set your heat press to 315 to 325°F, press for 15 seconds with firm pressure, let the transfer cool and peel the film, then press again for 10 seconds. On polyester performance fabric or anything heat-sensitive, drop to 265 to 280°F for 20 seconds. A household iron can work for a small design in a pinch, but a heat press gives far more consistent results.
