For apparel projects involving Paw Patrol artwork or other protected character designs, confirm that you have the rights or permission required to use the artwork before ordering transfers.

Once the artwork is cleared for use, plan the transfer around the finished size, garment placement, quantity, and production workflow.

Confirm the Artwork Before Ordering

Use only the final approved artwork file and keep alternate versions clearly separated.

Do not assume that character artwork found online is automatically cleared for commercial use, resale, or merchandise production.

Match the Transfer Size to the Garment

Kids’ apparel may require different transfer dimensions depending on the garment size and intended placement.

If the final width and height are already known, choose DTF Transfers by Size for individual designs.

Keep Character Artwork and Personalization Organized

If the project includes names, ages, birthday references, or alternate artwork versions, keep each custom element connected to the correct garment and quantity.

• Confirm the approved artwork file.
• Record the finished transfer dimensions.
• Identify the intended garment placement.
• Confirm the required quantity.
• Verify that the artwork is authorized for the intended use.

Use a Gang Sheet for Multiple Approved Designs

If several approved graphics, names, or size variations need to be prepared together, organize them before production.

use the DTF Gang Sheet Builder when multiple designs need to be arranged within one layout.

Check the Garment Before a Larger Run

Do not assume that the same transfer size will work equally well across every youth or adult garment size.

Review the actual garment and intended placement before finalizing the transfer dimensions for a larger order.

Follow the Transfer-Specific Application Instructions

Application requirements can vary by transfer product.

Follow the instructions provided for the individual transfer rather than using one universal time, temperature, pressure, or peel method.
