DTF printing isn’t just a trend. It’s reshaping how small businesses run their apparel lines in 2025. With fast turnaround, no minimums, better color, and more flexibility all around, it’s quickly becoming the go-to method for craft show sellers. 

f you’ve ever uploaded a design for stickers, shirts, or transfers, you’ve probably been asked for a specific file type — PNG, SVG, or PDF. But what do those really mean? And why does it matter for your project?

For makers and businesses, understanding the difference between file formats can save you time, money, and frustration. Let’s break it down.

DTF stands for Direct-to-Film. Instead of cutting vinyl or setting up screens, your design is printed directly onto a special film using DTF inks. Once printed, a powdered adhesive is applied and cured, creating a ready-to-press transfer.

UV DTF (Ultraviolet Direct to Film) is a cutting-edge printing method that allows us to create ready-to-apply, full-color decals that adhere to hard, smooth surfaces like glass, tumblers, mugs, plastic, wood, and more.
