DTF printing
It has never been this easy to add labels!
DTF printing has almost revolutionized the world of labeling and emblem printing, as it addresses several shortcomings of previous
technologies. Many products that were previously difficult or impossible to label can now be easily labeled with DTF printing.

The DTF printing process is extremely fast and simple: printing directly onto the film in CMYK + White colors, followed by the application of a special adhesive powder that ensures the flexibility and usability of the prints. After the powder is applied, the excess is shaken off and the powder is melted, resulting in prints ready for use.
To apply DTF transfers, you’ll need a heat press. First, place the item you want to label smoothly onto the heat press. Position the cut-out DTF transfer in the desired spot, as you won’t be able to adjust it once the heat press is closed. After the first pressing, you can peel off the DTF film from the design. For the second pressing, which serves as a fixative, it’s recommended to place parchment paper over the design before pressing. This ensures the print remains undamaged.
A heat press is required to apply DTF stickers:
- Press: 160°C, 15 seconds
- Press: 160°C, 7-8 seconds
