Direct to Film (DTF) printing has revolutionized the custom apparel industry, offering advantages that traditional methods simply can't match. Here's why DTF has become our primary printing method at SwagYards.
What is DTF Printing? DTF prints designs onto a special film, then transfers them to fabric using heat and pressure. The result is a vibrant, soft, and durable print that works on virtually any fabric color.
Key Advantages of DTF:
Unlimited Colors Unlike traditional methods that charge per color, DTF prints unlimited colors at the same price. Gradients, photos, and complex artwork all look stunning.
Works on Any Fabric DTF adheres perfectly to cotton, polyester, blends, and even challenging materials. Light or dark fabrics - no problem.
Soft Hand Feel Modern DTF prints have an incredibly soft feel, almost like the design is part of the fabric itself.
No Minimums Perfect for single pieces or bulk orders alike, with no setup costs that drive up small order prices.
Exceptional Durability DTF prints withstand 50+ washes without cracking, peeling, or fading.
When to Choose DTF: - Any order size (1 to 10,000+ pieces) - Designs with many colors or gradients - Photo-realistic images - Dark or light fabrics - Quick turnaround needed
At SwagYards, we've fully embraced DTF as our primary method because it delivers the best results for our customers at every order size.
