Custom Apparel FAQ

DTF Dallas offers both finished custom apparel and ready-to-press DTF transfers and gang sheets.

Choose custom apparel when you want DTF Dallas to supply the garment, print your design, and deliver a finished item that is ready to wear. This is an easy ordering option for customers who do not have a heat press or prefer the DTF Dallas team to handle the complete printing process.

Choose ready-to-press transfers when you already have the garments and want to apply the designs yourself.

Yes, DTF Dallas has no minimum order for custom apparel, so you can place a single-item order for one custom T-shirt, polo, hoodie, sweatshirt, tote bag, or another available product.

Custom apparel arrives with your design already printed, while blank apparel is sold without decoration. DTF Dallas offers both: choose custom apparel for a finished ready-to-wear product and blank apparel when you plan to apply your own transfers or use the garment undecorated.

With custom apparel, DTF Dallas supplies and prints the garment for you. With DTF transfers, you receive the printed transfer and apply it to your own garment with a heat press.

Yes, through the free heat press room at the DTF Dallas facility in Richardson: order a DTF product such as DTF Transfers by Size, a DTF gang sheet, or ready-to-press designs, then bring your own garments and apply the transfers yourself using the on-site heat press at no charge. This way you control the garment while DTF Dallas supplies the print.

No, fit, length, sleeve shape, fabric weight, and cut vary by brand and style. Review the individual size chart and description on the DTF Dallas product page before ordering, especially when matching garments for a group.

For vibrant colors, sharp details, and the best possible print quality, submit a transparent PNG at 300 DPI and prepare the file at its intended print size. Fine lines, small text, low-resolution images, and unnecessary backgrounds can affect the final result.

Contact the DTF Dallas team at info@dtfdallas.com before ordering when you are unsure whether the artwork is ready to print.

A transparent PNG at 300 DPI is the preferred file format for most DTF Dallas custom apparel orders. High-quality PDF or vector artwork can also be suitable, but all files should be checked at their final print dimensions.

Yes, a transparent background is strongly recommended when you do not want a box or background color printed around the design. Remove all areas that should not appear in the final print before uploading your file to DTF Dallas.

Yes, but the quality of the submitted file directly affects the final print quality. Enlarging a small or low-resolution logo cannot restore missing detail and can produce blurry text, rough edges, or reduced sharpness.

For vibrant colors and sharp details, use a transparent PNG at 300 DPI and prepare it at the final print size whenever possible. Email the artwork and intended dimensions to info@dtfdallas.com for a quick DTF Dallas file review when resolution is uncertain.

The file review can identify obvious quality concerns, but it does not include full artwork reconstruction or guarantee the final result.

Yes, DTF Dallas can print full-color photographs, gradients, illustrations, and detailed artwork on custom apparel.

For the best print quality, use a high-resolution image and review the photograph at the intended print dimensions. DTF printing can produce vibrant colors and sharp details, but screen colors do not always appear exactly the same in print because screens use light while printing uses ink.

Garment color, fabric texture, image resolution, contrast, and the white ink layer can also influence the final appearance.

Yes, DTF printing uses a white ink layer to support color on dark garments. The final appearance still depends on the artwork, garment color, fabric texture, and print size on DTF Dallas custom apparel.

Yes, when ordering DTF Dallas custom apparel you choose the print location on the product page: select the back print option and upload the file prepared for the back. Each print location uses its own correctly sized artwork, so upload a separate file for the front and the back.

Yes, left-chest logos are commonly used for work shirts, polos, uniforms, and company apparel. Keep the design readable at a smaller size and confirm the placement area on the DTF Dallas product page before ordering.

Yes, order ready-to-press options through the Shirt Label Bundle or this bundle option and press the sleeve prints or neck labels yourself.

Use the same high-resolution artwork, final print dimensions, garment style, garment color, and print placement throughout the DTF Dallas order, and submit a transparent PNG at 300 DPI whenever possible.

Custom apparel follows the same DTF Dallas production turnaround as eligible transfer orders. Print-ready orders placed before the 2:00 PM CST cutoff qualify for same-day production, while orders placed after the cutoff move to the next business-day production queue.

This fast-turnaround option is helpful for customers who need custom T-shirts, uniforms, team apparel, or event shirts prepared quickly. Artwork issues, incomplete order details, large bulk orders, special garment availability, or additional customization needs can affect the final turnaround.

Wait for the order-ready notification before traveling to a pickup location.

Yes, finished custom apparel can be selected for 24/7 DTF Dallas local pickup at 903 N Bowser Rd, Suite 250, Richardson, TX 75081. Wait for the order-ready instructions before traveling to the pickup location.

Wait 24 hours before the first wash of your DTF Dallas custom apparel, then turn the garment inside out and wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, and air dry or tumble dry low; see the DTF Application & Care FAQ for complete care guidance.

DTF Dallas transfers have been tested to withstand 100+ washes when they are applied and cared for correctly.

Actual durability depends on the garment, print placement, wear, friction, washing routine, drying temperature, and care practices. To help the print hold up after washing, wait at least 24 hours before the first wash, turn the garment inside out, wash it in cold water, and avoid bleach, fabric softener, and high dryer heat.

Proper care preserves vibrant colors, sharp details, flexibility, and long-term print quality; watch the 100-wash test video on the DTF Dallas Instagram to see the tested result.

DTF printing can produce vibrant colors, gradients, photographs, and sharp details that closely reflect the submitted artwork. However, an exact screen-to-print match cannot be guaranteed.

Screens display color using light, while printed apparel uses ink. Garment color, fabric texture, artwork resolution, the white ink layer, monitor settings, and the selected print size can all influence the final appearance.

When color accuracy is especially important, use a high-resolution file and contact DTF Dallas for a basic artwork review before ordering.

Customers should only submit artwork they own or have permission to reproduce; DTF Dallas prints files as submitted. By placing an order, the customer confirms the legal right to use logos, characters, photographs, trademarks, and other protected content.

Confirm the garment style, color, size, quantity, artwork resolution, transparent background, spelling, print dimensions, and placement before submitting the order.

For bulk orders, team shirts, uniforms, or apparel with different names and numbers, review the entire size and quantity list carefully. Keeping the artwork, garment specifications, and print placement consistent creates a more uniform result across the order.

Contact the DTF Dallas team before checkout when you need help choosing the garment, preparing the file, or organizing a complex group order.

Incorrect size selection is not eligible for a refund on custom-printed garments, so review the product-specific size chart carefully before ordering. DTF Dallas does provide a free reprint within 45 days of delivery for verifiable production issues such as manufacturing defects, print quality problems, or incorrect items; see the refund policy for details.

Email info@dtfdallas.com with your order number, a description of the issue, and clear photographs.

Verifiable issues qualify for a free reprint, and photo evidence is enough in most cases.

Keeping the item in its received condition and providing complete information helps the support team respond quickly and evaluate the issue accurately.
