custom DTF transfers

by Md Abdur Rahman

Custom DTF transfers are the easiest way to turn your artwork into professional, ready-to-press prints—without screens, vinyl weeding, or complicated setup. If you run an apparel shop, clothing brand, or heat-press business, custom DTF transfers help you produce vibrant, full-color designs on demand while keeping your workflow fast and scalable.

At Axo Brands, you can order custom DTF transfers in the exact way that matches how you work: build a custom gang sheet online, upload a print-ready file, or order transfers by size for simple logo jobs. Whether you’re printing one design or producing bulk orders, custom DTF transfers make it easy to press more garments and fulfill faster.

What Are Custom DTF Transfers?

DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers are full-color designs printed onto a specialized film and applied to garments using a heat press. “Custom” means you’re printing your logos, artwork, brand graphics, or client designs—made specifically for your order.

Custom DTF transfers are popular because they deliver:

  • Crisp, high-detail printing (great for complex artwork)

  • Strong color saturation and clean edges

  • Reliable adhesion when pressed properly

  • Flexibility for multiple garment types

  • Fast production for apparel businesses

If your customers want professional prints—logos, names, full graphics—custom DTF is one of the most efficient ways to deliver it.

Why Custom DTF Transfers Are Great for Apparel Shops

Custom transfers don’t just look good—they help businesses operate better. When you can print high-quality designs quickly, your shop becomes faster and more profitable.

1) Fast fulfillment for custom orders

Whether you’re producing company uniforms, event merch, or branded apparel, custom DTF transfers reduce turnaround time by eliminating screen setup and extra steps.

2) Perfect for multi-design production

If you run a clothing brand or sell multiple designs weekly, custom transfers allow you to produce many SKUs in a single order by using gang sheets.

3) Easy reorders and repeat jobs

Once you have a layout or file, reordering is simple—especially when you use the upload option for repeat production.

4) Profitable for small runs

Custom DTF is great for one-off and low-quantity orders. You can print without minimums that force you to overbuy inventory.

5) Professional look that sells

Customers care about color, detail, and finish. Custom DTF prints help you deliver premium-looking products that stand out.

Best Uses for Custom DTF Transfers

Custom DTF transfers are built for real business use. Here are some of the most common high-demand applications:

Branded company apparel

Logo shirts, staff uniforms, and promotional apparel are easy to produce with custom transfers—especially when you need consistent sizing and repeat reorders.

Clothing brands and drops

Create multiple designs and sizes on a gang sheet for faster inventory production. This keeps your brand flexible and ready to launch new collections often.

Events and group orders

Custom event merch, reunion shirts, charity events, and team apparel can be produced quickly—without setup delays that slow down traditional printing.

Resellers and transfer sellers

If you resell transfers or offer heat press services, custom DTF transfers let you fulfill different customer needs efficiently.

Multi-location businesses

If you need the same logo printed for different teams, different stores, or multiple departments, custom transfers keep branding consistent.

How to Maximize Profit with Custom Gang Sheets

Gang sheets are the key to lowering cost per print and increasing profit—especially for businesses printing multiple designs regularly.

Tips to build smarter sheets:

  • Place large prints first, then fill gaps with smaller logos

  • Add duplicates of best-sellers to press batches fast

  • Include front + back + sleeve graphics on the same sheet

  • Keep common sizes for repeat jobs and fast reorders
