DTF Transfers by Size for Custom Apparel

Order DTF transfers by size when you need separate graphics for shirts, sleeves or other apparel placements. Upload your artwork, choose the dimensions and quantity for each design, and review the order summary. This option lets you order individual DTF transfers without preparing a complete gang sheet.

Choose Dimensions That Fit Your Garment

Measure the intended print area before ordering. A chest logo, sleeve graphic and full back design need different dimensions. Check the smallest garment in a group order so the artwork fits every intended placement.

Keep the original artwork proportions in mind. A rectangular logo will not fill a square area without empty space or distortion. Review both width and height before confirming custom apparel transfers. If the dimensions are unclear, contact us before submitting your order.

For dimension records, artwork proportions and a 300 DPI example, read our DTF transfer size planning guide before submitting.

Upload Clean, Print-Ready Artwork

The upload form accepts PNG, JPG, WEBP and SVG files up to 40 MB each. Transparent PNG is recommended. Remove unwanted backgrounds and stray pixels, and check spelling before uploading. White backgrounds can print as white ink.

Prepare raster artwork at 300 DPI at its intended print size. Enlarging a small image can soften edges and fine details. Review each design carefully, especially small lettering and thin lines. Use the file requirements displayed in the uploader when preparing your images.

Review Quantities and Cutting Options

Each uploaded image becomes its own transfer, priced by the selected size. Check the number of copies for every design and review the total before checkout. Keep a list of names and quantities for team or event orders.

The form offers a roll option or precut individual DTF transfers for an additional charge shown on the page. Choose the finish that suits your workflow. Confirm this selection and the displayed charge in your order summary.

Need a Gang Sheet Instead?

For several graphics arranged together, use our online gang sheet builder. If you already have a complete layout, choose the prepared gang sheet upload. These options serve different ordering needs from custom apparel transfers ordered separately.

Pickup and Application

Check delivery options at checkout. For Phoenix pickup, wait for your ready-for-pickup confirmation. Review our local ordering information and pickup location before traveling.

Follow the supplied pressing instructions and test garment compatibility before a production run. Confirm temperature, pressure, pressing time and peel method. Browse our heat press collection if you need equipment.

Customizable Sizing
Our DTF Transfers by Size give you the flexibility to choose exactly what you need — from small logo prints to large-format designs. With no minimum order requirements, you're free to order as little or as much as your project demands.

Premium Print Quality
Printed using advanced DTF technology, our transfers deliver rich colors, sharp lines, and smooth gradients that pop on any garment. Ideal for both personal and commercial use.

Fabric Compatibility
Works seamlessly on cotton, polyester, cotton/poly blends, and other standard apparel fabrics. Whether you’re pressing onto t-shirts, hoodies, or tote bags, our DTF prints are engineered for strong adhesion and lasting results.

No Pre-Treatment Needed
Our transfers are press-ready — no weeding, pre-treatment, or extra prep required. Just align, press, peel, and go. Perfect for saving time in both small shops and production environments.

Soft & Durable Finish
DTF Transfers provide a soft-hand feel while maintaining excellent durability. Tested to withstand 60+ washes with no cracking or fading, even under regular wear.

Fast Turnaround
Place your order before 3 PM Arizona Time, and we’ll prepare it the same day (pickup or ship). While rare, slight delays may occur during peak times — but we always aim for speed and consistency.

Accepted File Types

We accept high-resolution PNG (preferred), PDF, and JPEG files. Please ensure your design has a transparent background if necessary. Vector files (AI, SVG) are not required but may be submitted for reference.

Image Resolution

Upload artwork at 300 DPI or higher to avoid pixelation. Low-resolution images may result in blurry or distorted prints.

Sizing Accuracy

Please make sure your design matches the exact dimensions you selected. Designs will not be resized or repositioned — what you upload is what we print.

Color Mode

For best color accuracy, use CMYK color mode. RGB files may result in slight color shifts during production.

Background & Cleanup

Remove any unwanted background layers, stray pixels, or watermarking before uploading. Files must be clean, flattened, and ready to print as-is.

File Naming

Include your order number or name in the file name when possible (e.g., smith_10x12.png) for smoother processing.

Shape Matters

When you select a transfer size (e.g., 4"x4", 2"x4", or 6"x6"), your uploaded artwork should match the shape ratio of that size — square or rectangular. If your design has different proportions, we will automatically scale it to fit the longer edge.

How Resizing Works

To preserve design quality, we do not stretch or distort your artwork. Instead, we scale it proportionally to fit the chosen size. This means the shorter side may be smaller than expected.

Example:

If your file is 11"x7" and you order a 4"x4" transfer, the longer side (11") is reduced to 4", and the shorter side will scale down accordingly — in this case, to approximately 2.55".

Tips to Avoid Surprises

For best results, upload artwork that already matches the aspect ratio of your selected transfer size. This helps ensure your final print uses the full area available.

Follow these recommended steps for optimal results with your DTF Transfers:

1. No Pre-Press Required

You don’t need to pre-press your garment, unless it has visible moisture or wrinkles. If you choose to pre-press, limit it to 2–3 seconds.

2. Align Your Transfer

Place your design face-up on the fabric in the desired location. Heat-resistant tape is optional, but helpful for hats or tricky surfaces. Make sure it’s flat and wrinkle-free.

3. Press Settings

310–320°F (155–160°C)

15 seconds

Medium to firm

Use parchment paper or a Teflon sheet to protect both the transfer and your press.

4. Cold Peel

Let the transfer cool for 5–10 seconds before peeling. Start from one corner and peel slowly and evenly.

5. Optional Second Press

For improved durability and a matte finish, repress for 5 seconds with parchment paper after peeling.

⚠️ Always test your settings on a sample item first. Press temperatures and pressure may vary by machine.
