What Is UV DTF?
UV DTF (Ultraviolet Direct-to-Film) is a peel-and-stick transfer made for hard, smooth surfaces like glass, plastic, acrylic, and metal. Unlike traditional heat transfer DTF used on apparel, UV DTF does not require a heat press and is not intended for fabric use.
Each transfer is printed with premium UV-cured ink, producing a vibrant, semi-permanent decal that adheres easily and resists light wear and water. (Hand-wash only. Not rated for outdoor use.)
Best Surfaces for UV DTF:

Tumblers, mugs, glass cans

Phone cases, laptops, notebooks
