DETAILED ARTWORK DESERVES A GREAT PRINT

Your design might feature an illustration, a photograph or colours that blend into one another. DTF printing is suited to detailed, full-colour artwork, making it a useful choice for designs that go beyond a simple logo.

At Capsule Merch, we use DTF for small runs, prototypes and creative merchandise projects. It gives you a way to introduce a new design without committing to a bulk release.

WHY CHOOSE DTF PRINTING?

Order the Quantity You Need

Start with a single garment or put together a small collection. With no minimum order for DTF printing, you can plan around your actual requirements rather than ordering extra stock.

Keep the Colour and Detail

DTF accommodates multicolour illustrations, gradients and photographic designs. Send your highest-quality artwork so we can assess how the details will reproduce at your intended print size.

Explore Different Garments

Direct-to-film printing can be applied to cotton, polyester and suitable blends. The specific fabric, finish and garment construction affect compatibility, so the garment should be checked before production.

Develop Your Next Merch Release

A smaller initial order can help you assess the design, garment and customer interest before planning your next run. Keep the collection focused with a strong graphic and a clear audience in mind.

CUSTOM DTF T-SHIRT PRINTING

Create a tee that puts your design front and centre. From a small chest logo to a statement back graphic, the print size and placement shape the finished look.

When requesting a quote, tell us your preferred garment colour, sizes and print positions. If you need front and back printing, include both designs so we can quote the complete project.

Think about how the artwork will look when worn. A detailed illustration may need more space, while a simple logo can work at a smaller scale.

DTF PRINTING FOR HOODIES AND OTHER APPAREL

Planning a hoodie design or another garment style? Share the item you have in mind so we can discuss its suitability for DTF printing.

Seams, pockets, zips and fabric texture can affect where a design can be applied.

A clear reference image and preferred placement help us understand the result you want before the artwork is finalised.

For a coordinated collection, consider how your graphic will adapt across different garments rather than using the same dimensions on every item.

MERCH FOR BANDS, BRANDS AND BUSINESSES

Band and Artist Merchandise

Turn release artwork, tour graphics or original illustrations into wearable merchandise. Build your order around the audience, venue and quantity you expect to need.

A focused collection can give your artwork a consistent identity across different garment colours and styles.

Independent Clothing Labels

Develop your first drop or introduce a new design to an existing range. Starting with a smaller quantity gives you room to assess the finished garment and plan future stock.

Consider the fit, colour palette and print placement together so the product feels like part of your brand.

Business and Promotional Shirts

Create apparel for a launch, staff event or marketing campaign. Keep the message clear and choose print positions that suit how the garments will be worn.

A chest logo can provide a simple branded detail, while a back graphic gives an event or campaign message more room.

Personal and Creative Projects

Have an illustration you want to wear or a design for a small group? Send through your concept, quantity and preferred garment.

Include any reference images that help explain the style, scale or placement you have in mind.

HOW DTF PRINTING WORKS

DTF stands for direct-to-film. The artwork is printed onto a specialist film, adhesive powder is applied and heated, and the design is transferred onto the garment using a heat press.

This creates an applied print on the fabric. The size and coverage of the artwork influence how the printed area feels, which is useful to consider when planning a large graphic.

DTF OR SCREEN PRINTING?

Choose the method around your artwork, garment and quantity.

DTF is a practical option for smaller orders and complex colour designs. Capsule Merch’s screen printing service starts at 25 units and is another option for larger runs.

If you are unsure, send us your design and order details. We can discuss the approach that suits your project and budget. You can also explore our printing services.

GOT A QUESTION?

Is there a minimum order for DTF printing?

No. Capsule Merch offers DTF printing with no minimum order, so you can enquire about one garment or a small batch.

Can you print photographs and colour gradients?

Yes, DTF is suited to photographic artwork, gradients and detailed multicolour designs. The original file quality and final print size affect the result, so send the best version of your artwork for review.

How much does DTF printing cost?

Pricing depends on the garment, quantity, print dimensions and number of print positions. Include those details in your enquiry to receive a quote for the complete order.

What artwork should I provide?

Send your original artwork file where possible, rather than a screenshot. Include the intended print dimensions and let us know if the background should appear in the finished design. If you need help preparing the artwork, mention it when you enquire.

Can I print on my own garments?

Contact us with the garment brand, fabric composition, colour and quantity before arranging an order. We will need to confirm whether the items are suitable and whether customer-supplied garments can be accepted.

How long will my order take?

Tell us your required date when requesting a quote. We will confirm the available production timeframe for your order. Allow additional time for shipping if you need delivery.

How should I care for printed garments?

Follow the garment label and the care instructions provided with your order. Ask the team about any specific washing or drying requirements for your chosen garment and print.
