Press your own apparel? Order DTF heat transfers printed on our 22″ transfer film and billed by the linear inch – $0.875 per inch of film length. Gang up as many designs as fit across the roll and pay only for the length you use.

• From $17.50 for the first 12 linear inches, then $0.875 per additional linear inch on 22″-wide film
• Any design size up to 22″ wide
• Vibrant, stretchable transfers with built-in white underbase
• 1–3 business day production after artwork approval

Upload a transparent-background PNG for best results – the white layer is generated from your art, and each design is padded slightly for clean cutting. Rather have us do the pressing? Order finished custom t-shirts instead.

DTF Transfers by the Roll

DTF transfers – direct-to-film heat transfers – are how modern shops put full-color artwork on garments without screens, weeding, or minimums. We print your designs onto a 22-inch transfer roll, coat them with hot-melt adhesive, and ship film that presses onto cotton, blends, polyester, hats, and bags with any decent heat press. You handle the garments; the printing is done.

Why Shops Switch to DTF Transfers

One transfer costs the same per inch whether you order one design or forty different ones – gang unlimited designs across the roll and pay only for the length you use. Whites print bright on dark fabric thanks to the automatic white underbase, gradients and photographs reproduce cleanly, and pressed transfers stretch with the shirt instead of cracking. For small runs, personalization, and mixed-design orders, DTF transfers beat screen printing on cost before the first shirt is pressed.

Ordering by the Linear Inch

Pricing is $17.50 for the first 12 linear inches of the 22-inch-wide roll, then $0.875 per inch after – the builder calculates your total live as you enter dimensions. Gang artwork tightly to maximize designs per inch: a typical left-chest logo runs about four inches, a full front about twelve. Upload one file with your layouts, or send individual designs and we gang them for you. Rolls ship after production, typically 1–3 business days following artwork approval.

Pressing Your Transfers

Cut each design from the roll, position it on the garment, and press at roughly 300°F for 10–15 seconds with firm pressure. Peel the film – hot or cold depending on stock, instructions ship with every roll – and finish with a five-second cover press. No press yet? Our custom printed t-shirts arrive already pressed and ready to wear.
