DTF Transfers

DTF Printing in Roxbury, NJ

Quick Answer

DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is a full-color transfer method that works on almost any fabric, holds up wash after wash, and has no minimum order. Roxbury Custom Vinyl prints DTF transfers in-house starting at $2 for a chest logo, with 2-5 business day turnaround.

What Is DTF Printing?

DTF (Direct-to-Film) is a printing method where full-color artwork is printed onto a special film, coated with adhesive powder, and heat-pressed directly onto fabric. Unlike screen printing, there's no setup cost per color and no minimum order — which makes it ideal for single shirts, small batches, and designs with lots of color or detail. DTF transfers are soft to the touch, durable through repeated washing, and work on cotton, polyester, blends, and even some synthetic fabrics that don't play well with other printing methods.

Who Is DTF Printing For?

DTF is a great fit for small businesses ordering a handful of branded shirts, families ordering one-off custom designs, sports teams needing player names and numbers, and anyone with a full-color or photo-realistic design that wouldn't be cost-effective with screen printing. If you need 1 shirt or 500, DTF scales without extra setup fees per color.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is DTF different from vinyl or screen printing?

DTF transfers are full-color, printed on film and heat-pressed on — great for detailed, multi-color designs with no minimum order. Vinyl is best for simple, bold single-or-few-color designs (like names and numbers) cut from solid color sheets. Screen printing becomes more cost-effective at higher quantities with fewer colors, but has setup costs per color and a practical minimum order.

Is there a minimum order for DTF transfers?

No minimum. We print one-off custom shirts just as easily as bulk team orders.

How long do DTF transfers last?

DTF transfers are known for durability — properly applied transfers hold up through many wash cycles without cracking or peeling when cared for properly (wash inside-out, avoid high heat drying).

Can I supply my own shirts for DTF printing?

Yes — many customers supply their own blanks. Just let us know when requesting your quote.
