Do you ship DTF transfers across Canada?

What fabrics can DTF transfers be applied to?

DTF transfers work on cotton, polyester, cotton-poly blends, nylon, and leather. Unlike sublimation, DTF does not require a polyester-coated blank — it adheres to virtually any fabric type.

What is a DTF transfer?

DTF (Direct to Film) transfers are pre-printed heat transfer designs on a special film with adhesive powder. You press them onto fabric using a heat press — no printer required. They work on cotton, polyester, blends, and most fabric types in any colour.

How do you apply DTF transfers?

Place the DTF transfer face-down on your garment. Press at 295-310°F for 10-15 seconds with medium-to-firm pressure. Hot peel the carrier film while still warm. Cover with parchment paper and press again for 5-8 seconds to seal.

Is there a minimum order for DTF transfers in Canada?

No minimums at Pressing Images. Order a single transfer or a full gang sheet. All orders placed before noon Mountain Time ship the same day from Okotoks, Alberta.

Do DTF transfers work on dark fabrics?

Yes. DTF transfers include a white ink underbase, so colours print vibrantly on black, navy, red, and any dark fabric. This is a key advantage over sublimation, which requires white or light polyester fabric.

What is a DTF gang sheet?

A gang sheet is a single large sheet of film with multiple designs nested together. Instead of ordering each design separately, you fill a full sheet — which reduces the cost per design significantly. Pressing Images has a Gang Sheet Autobuilder to create and order yours.
