Popular questions
Does DTF Dallas offer same-day DTF printing?
Yes, qualifying print-ready DTF Dallas orders placed before 2:00 PM CST are eligible for same-day production. Artwork problems, stock issues, very large orders, or requested changes can affect completion time, so submit a finished file and review the order carefully before checkout.
What is the difference between a DTF transfer and a gang sheet?
An individual DTF transfer is ordered as a separate design in a selected size, while a gang sheet combines several transfers on one larger sheet.
Choose DTF Transfers by Size when you want a quick and easy ordering option for one design or a small quantity, and choose a DTF Dallas gang sheet when you want to combine different designs, quantities, sizes, names, or logos in one layout and lower the average cost per transfer. Both options arrive cured and ready to press.
What temperature should I use for DTF transfers?
DTF Dallas recommends 290 to 310°F for its standard DTF transfers. Because garments and heat presses respond differently, begin with a test press and make small adjustments within the recommended range rather than changing several settings at once.
What surfaces work with UV DTF transfers?
DTF Dallas UV DTF transfers work best on clean, dry, smooth, non-porous hard surfaces such as glass, plastic, metal, acrylic, plexiglass, bottles, cups, tumblers, and product packaging. Always test the exact item before applying a full order.
Can I order one custom shirt?
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.
You can also place larger bulk orders for businesses, teams, schools, events, organizations, apparel brands, or family occasions. This flexibility makes the service suitable for both first-time customers and customers ordering coordinated apparel in larger quantities.
What blank apparel brands does DTF Dallas carry?
DTF Dallas carries brands such as Bella Canvas, Gildan, Comfort Colors, Next Level, Shaka Wear, Rustic United, DigiPrint Apparel, A4, and OTTO Cap. Popular styles are stocked in depth at the DTF Dallas facility in Richardson, so in-stock blanks ship or reach pickup quickly instead of waiting on an outside supplier. Brand, color, style, and size availability can change, so check the current blank apparel collection before ordering.
What file format should I use for DTF printing?
A transparent PNG at 300 DPI is the preferred format for most DTF Dallas orders. High-quality PDF or vector files can also be suitable in supported workflows, but every file should be checked at its final print dimensions.
Does DTF Dallas offer free shipping?
Yes, UPS Ground (1 to 2 days) is free on eligible DTF product orders over $100, including DTF transfers by size, DTF gang sheets, UV DTF transfers, and UV DTF gang sheets; under $100, Ground ships at a $9.95 flat rate. Custom shirts, custom apparel, blank apparel, and supplies are not included; their shipping cost is calculated dynamically at DTF Dallas checkout based on your location.
Where is DTF Dallas located?
The main DTF Dallas production facility is at 903 N Bowser Rd, Suite 250, Richardson, TX 75081, and there are additional 24/7 locker pickup locations in Argyle and Carrollton. The facilities serve customers throughout Dallas, Denton County, and the DFW area, and online orders ship across the United States.
Does DTF Dallas have a minimum order?
No, DTF Dallas does not require a minimum order for DTF transfers, gang sheets, UV DTF transfers, custom apparel, or blank apparel. You can order one item for a small project or place a larger order for a business, team, event, or apparel brand.
