Custom designs as iron-on transfers for your textiles

DTF (Direct-to-Film) iron-on film is currently the most versatile transfer solution for textile finishing. You can have your chosen design printed in mirror image onto the transfer film; heat activates the hot-melt adhesive powder, causing it to fuse with the substrate: Whether it’s cotton, blended fabrics, polyester, softshell or caps, you can customise your chosen garment using the iron-on film.

DTF iron-on transfer – step-by-step guide

Preparation: Smooth out the fabric and, if necessary, pre-press it briefly.
Film position: DTF design place face down, Scroll down to the design page.
Hot stamping: Place the backing paper onto the film and apply medium pressure using a transfer press (160–170 °C, 15–20 seconds) or an iron.
Remove: Remove the baking paper and carefully peel off the film; if desired, press down briefly again using the baking paper as protection.
Post-processing – Leave for 24 hours, then wash gently.

Care instructions: Can textiles with DTF printing be washed?

Yes, depending on the nature of the fabric, it is best to turn the textiles inside out and wash them at a low temperature on a gentle cycle.

What is the advantage of DTF printing?

The DTF printing offers a versatile solution for customised textiles and stickers. With brilliant colours and the finest details, even complex designs can be reproduced precisely on almost all types of fabric or smooth surfaces such as glass and plastic. The prints are durable, elastic and dimensionally stable, making them ideal for both single items and larger print runs. Furthermore, they are straightforward to use, as no weeding is required and processing is quick and efficient.

Compress all individual PDF files in a zip file.
Use the print data upload in the order process to upload the zip file with all the print data.

This ensures that your various motifs are processed correctly and contributes to the smooth processing of your order. If you are unsure, simply select "free professional data check" in the order process and your files will be checked manually by our professionals.
