What to expect when ordering bulk DTF transfers

Fast quote and proof process

Send your artwork, request quantities, and get a proof back quickly. We review files, fix common issues, and advise on color and sizing so your prints are press-ready.

Gang sheets and layout options

To save cost and speed up pressing, we offer gang sheet layouts that place many designs on one film sheet. This reduces wasted film and makes multi-order runs efficient.

Artwork and file prep tips for bulk DTF runs

Good preparation means fewer delays. Here’s what works best:

  • Provide high-resolution PNG or PSD files with transparent backgrounds for single-color and multi-layer artwork.
  • For detailed designs, send vector files or flattened high-res files at actual print size.
  • Use sRGB color profile for best color match on DTF.
  • If you need help, Five Star DTF offers artwork cleanup, vectorizing, and layout services.

Best fabrics and applications for bulk DTF transfers

DTF is versatile. It adheres well to:

  • Cotton and cotton blends, giving a soft hand.
  • Polyester and performance fabrics, especially when cured correctly.
  • Hoodies, tote bags, jerseys, and custom uniforms.

If you’re printing for mixed fabric runs, tell us the garment types so we can recommend curing and finishing steps.

  • Pressure: Medium to firm, depending on press type.
  • Dwell time: 10–18 seconds for initial tack, then full cure as instructed.
