BRING YOUR DESIGN TO LIFE.
Direct-to-Film printing lets us transfer custom artwork onto apparel to create personalized clothing for businesses, teams, events and individuals.
WHAT IS DTF PRINTING?
Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is a method of decorating apparel. Artwork is printed onto a special film, prepared with adhesive powder, and transferred onto a suitable garment using heat and pressure.
The result is a printed design applied to the garment without requiring a traditional screen for each design colour. This makes it well suited to detailed, multicolour artwork and smaller or mixed orders.
Artwork transferred to a garment via a calibrated heat press.
HOW IT WORKS
From your design to a finished garment in four steps.

You provide artwork or discuss your design requirements with Get A Custom.
Film Printing
The artwork is printed onto a specialized transfer film.
