DTF Printing
DTF Printing
At Giftella, we provide professional Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing that delivers sharp detail and vibrant colour across a wide range of fabric-based items. This advanced method is perfect for personalising gifts, creating custom apparel, or producing branded merchandise in bulk.
DTF printing works by transferring your design from a special film directly onto fabric using heat and adhesive. The result is a soft, flexible, and long-lasting print that doesn’t crack or fade easily, even after multiple washes.
You can order a single item or request a large batch. Our service consistently delivers high standards of quality and care across all volumes. It is a smart choice for small business branding, creative workshops, and promotional events, as well as for anyone who wants high-quality prints that stand out.
We’ve made the process of personalising goods and apparel easy for you, from uploading designs to fast delivery, so you can focus on the creative side while we take care of the rest.
What is DTF Printing?
Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is a modern and efficient method of Digital printing. Through this technique, we apply detailed, full-colour designs directly onto fabric. Unlike older printing techniques that required complicated setups or were limited to specific materials, DTF works on a wide variety of textiles with excellent results.
The process starts by printing your artwork onto a transfer film using high-quality pigment inks. This printed film is then coated with a heat-activated adhesive powder. Once the adhesive is cured, the film is placed onto the chosen fabric, at the desired place and heat-pressed, allowing the design to bond securely to the surface. The result is a smooth, flexible, and vibrant print that feels comfortable to wear and is long-lasting.
Our prints are resistant to cracking, fading, and peeling, making them ideal for both personal and commercial use. The finish remains soft and breathable, so garments stay comfortable while still looking bold and eye-catching.
DTF printing is a versatile digital printing process. It provides easy printing on both dark and light fabrics. For DTF printing, fabric does not need to be prepared or require any treatment, saving time and production cost. This made DTF printing a great choice for small custom orders or full-scale merchandise production.
DTF also supports intricate designs with fine lines, gradients, and full-colour images—features that are often a challenge for other textile printing methods. Whether you’re a designer, business owner, artist, or someone who wants a custom piece, DTF offers a reliable and professional-grade finish.
At Giftella, we use the latest DTF technology to make the process as easy and smooth as possible. It supports intricate designs with fine lines, gradients, and full-colour images, offering you a professional-grade finish.
