🔥 What Are Custom Transfer Prints?

A custom print transfer is a pre-printed design that you apply to fabric using a heat press. Rather than printing directly onto the garment, you print the design on special film or paper and then transfer it.

The process works with various methods:

  • DTF (Direct to Film)

  • Screen print transfers

  • Sublimation

  • Puff print transfers

  • UV heat transfers

This approach allows you to prep your design, print it once, and press it whenever you’re ready.

📦 Transfer Methods at a Glance (Quick Frame)

Transfer Type Best For Finish Style
DTF Cotton/poly garments Matte or semi-glossy
Screen Print Transfers Large runs, bold colors Crisp and textured
Puff Transfers 3D logos, athletic gear Raised and soft
UV Transfers Hard surfaces like tumblers, mugs Glossy and sticky
Sublimation Transfers 100% polyester, light garments Soft and permanent
