What Is DTF Printing?

    

      DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing is the latest innovation in branded clothing printing. It allows for ultra-vivid, high-resolution artwork to be transferred directly onto fabric using heat and pressure. The process involves printing your design onto a specialist film with premium pigment inks, coating it with a hot adhesive powder, and pressing it into the garment. The result — a soft, flexible, and ultra-durable print that blends seamlessly with the fabric.     

    

Why DTF Is Better Than Embroidery

    

      Embroidery has long been the go-to for uniforms and workwear, but it comes with limits — it can’t handle fine detail,       gradients, or full-colour logos. DTF Printing overcomes all of that. It delivers stunning vibrancy, smooth gradients, and razor-sharp lines — without the bulk or stiffness of stitched thread. You’ll get lighter garments, faster production, and a more modern professional look. For detailed logos or photographic artwork, embroidery simply can’t compete.     

    

Why DTF Outperforms Sublimation

    

      While sublimation can look great on polyester, it’s limited to light fabrics and specific materials. DTF printing, on the other hand, works across cotton, blends, hoodies, polos, and more —  making it the ultimate solution for workwear printing and all types of branded apparel. The finish is richer, more durable, and far more versatile, with a consistent, premium texture that doesn’t fade over time.     

    

How Long Does DTF Last?

    

      Our DTF prints are engineered to last over 50 washes without cracking or fading. Thanks to the advanced adhesive bonding process, the design becomes part of the fabric rather than sitting on top. That means no peeling, no fading — just vibrant, consistent branding that keeps your team looking sharp year after year.
