What is DTF printing?

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a modern method that prints your design onto a special film, which is then heat-transferred onto the garment. It allows for vibrant, full-colour prints with excellent detail and flexibility.

Do you have a minimum order for DTF printing?

Nope! We don't have a minimum order requirement for DTF. You can order as little as 1 unit :)

What file types do I need to provide?
