Direct-to-Film transfers deliver vibrant, photo-quality prints on any fabric — no minimum order, unlimited colors, and a soft feel that lasts. Perfect for small runs, custom designs, and retail-ready apparel.
DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing works by printing your design onto a special film, applying a hot-melt adhesive powder, then heat-pressing the transfer onto your garment. The result is a full-color, soft-hand print that bonds directly to the fabric fibers.
Unlike screen printing which requires separate screens for each color, DTF handles unlimited colors — including gradients, shadows, and photo-realistic artwork — in a single pass.
It's the most versatile and accessible printing method available, with no setup fees and no minimums. Great for one piece or one hundred.
