When Contract DTF Beats Screen Printing

DTF is not a replacement for screen printing, it is the right tool for a different job. We run DTF, three ROQ automatic screen printing presses and 25 embroidery heads under one roof, so we quote the method that makes your margin instead of the machine we happen to own. These are the contract jobs where DTF wins.

Runs of 24 to a few hundred Where screen setup eats the margin
Full color or photographic artwork No color separations, no underbase screens
Mixed garment types in one order Tees, hoodies, hats and bags in a single run
Many designs, small quantity each Team stores, drops, personalization
Hats, bags, sleeves and odd placements Spots a press cannot reach
No setup, so reorders cost the same 24 pieces next month price like 24 today

Printed and Pressed In House, Shipped Ready to Sell

We do not hand you or your customer a bag of film to fight with. Every contract DTF job is printed on our own DTF line and pressed on commercial heat presses by the same production crew that runs our screen printing and embroidery floor, then folded, bagged, tagged and shipped exactly the way your account needs it.

Commercial heat presses, correct time and temp Not a craft press in a back office
Straight, centered, consistent placement Every piece matches the proof
Soft hand, stretch without cracking Rated for 50+ washes
Vibrant on dark and light garments White underbase printed in the same pass
Your blanks or ours (SanMar, S&S, AS Colour) Ship blanks in or let us source them
Combine with screen print or embroidery One vendor for the whole order

Wholesale DTF for Print Shops, Promo Distributors & Brands

Promotional product distributors: short-run branded apparel with full-color logos Distributor pricing, your branding

Resellers: relabeled, poly bagged and blind shipped to your customer We are invisible on the package

Everyone: no screens, so a 24 piece reorder prices like the first run Predictable pricing for your quotes

Tired of Online Transfer Mills?

What print shops, distributors and brands tell us after ordering transfers online and pressing them in-house, or sending finished goods out to a transfer mill:

Peeled after two washes Wrong press settings
Crooked, off-center presses No alignment system
Dull color on dark garments Thin or missing underbase

Hours lost at the press Time you are not selling
Ruined customer blanks Scorch marks and ghosting
No one local to call Transfer mills do not fix garments

Send your art and quantities and we will quote finished garments the same business day. If the job is really a screen print job, we will tell you that too, because we run both.

Contract DTF Printing Prices: What Sets Your Rate

A ten-color logo costs the same as a one-color one, which is why DTF wins on full-color art and runs of 24 to a few hundred.

Your questions answered

Still have questions?

What is contract DTF printing?

Contract DTF printing is direct-to-film decoration done for another business that resells the finished goods: print shops, promotional product distributors, apparel brands and resellers. Your design is printed onto transfer film with a white underbase, then heat pressed onto the garment in our Deerfield Beach shop. You get full color with no screens and no color limits, on nearly any fabric, from 24 pieces, shipped under your brand.

What is the minimum order?

The DTF minimum is 12 pieces per order, half our screen printing floor. You can mix sizes, colors and garment styles within the 12, and multiple designs are fine as long as the order total meets the minimum. DTF is most cost effective between 24 and a few hundred pieces, on full-color artwork, and on orders with many designs in small quantities each.

Do you sell transfers or gang sheets?

Our contract DTF service is built around finished garments: we print and press in house on commercial equipment so the result is consistent. If you are an established print shop that wants transfer-only gang sheets for your own presses, mention it when you request pricing and we will tell you what we can do.

What fabrics does DTF work on?

Cotton, polyester, blends, tri-blends, nylon, canvas, performance fabrics and more. It is the most fabric-flexible decoration method we offer, including garments that screen printing and embroidery struggle with.

How durable are DTF prints?

Pressed correctly on commercial equipment with the right time, temperature and pressure, DTF survives 50 or more washes without cracking or peeling and stretches with the fabric. The press settings are what separate our results from a home or office press job.

How fast can you turn a contract DTF order?

DTF is one of our fastest services because there are no screens to burn. Most contract DTF orders ship in 3 to 5 business days after art approval and garment arrival, and rush turnaround is often available on smaller runs. Send your deadline with the quote request.

Can I supply my own garments?

Yes. Most contract DTF customers ship blanks to us from SanMar, S&S, AS Colour or their own inventory. We flag anything that will not press well, such as some coatings and heat-sensitive fabrics, before we run the job. We can also source garments for you at wholesale.

How much does contract DTF printing cost?

Contract DTF is priced per pressed location by print size rather than color count, with price breaks by quantity. Garment type, number of locations, finishing and turnaround also affect the rate. Request pricing with the form on this page and we email the current contract DTF rate sheet the same business day.

Do you blind ship DTF orders to my customers?

Yes. We can relabel, poly bag, apply your hang tags and ship directly to your customer with no Deerfield Custom Prints branding anywhere on the package. See our blind shipping page for how it works.

Do you offer contract DTF printing for other print shops?

Yes. Print shops are a large share of our contract work. Send us the overflow and the small full-color jobs you cannot run profitably on your own press, and we return finished garments on your schedule.

Should I choose DTF or screen printing?

Quantity and artwork decide it. Large runs of simple art are cheaper screen printed on our automatic presses. Small runs, full-color art, mixed fabrics or many designs favor DTF. Send the job and we will tell you which way the numbers fall, because we run both.

Where are you located, and do you serve shops outside South Florida?

Our production facility is at 268 SW 12th Ave, Deerfield Beach, FL 33442, between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton. Most contract DTF partners in Broward and Palm Beach drop off and pick up; shops and brands across Florida and nationwide ship blanks in and we ship finished goods back or blind ship to their customers.
