What are DTF transfers used for?

DTF transfers are used to print full-color designs on shirts, hoodies, tote bags, aprons, uniforms, team apparel, and merch. They are pressed onto fabric using a heat press and work on cotton, polyester, blends, and most woven fabrics.

Are Bostonian DTF transfers ready to press?

Yes. Every transfer we produce arrives printed, cured, and ready for heat application. Follow the pressing instructions included with your order, no pretreatment, no cutting, no additional prep required.

Can I order custom artwork?

Yes. Upload your own design, PNG, PDF, SVG, AI, or EPS, and we print it as a ready-to-press transfer in the size you specify. Our team reviews every file before printing.

Are DTF transfers good for small Boston businesses?

Yes. They are designed for the run sizes most small businesses actually need, 10 shirts for a café staff, 24 hoodies for a brand drop, 50 event tees for a fundraiser, without minimums or screen setup fees.

Can I buy DTF transfers in bulk?

Yes. Bulk orders are available for teams, brands, events, print shops, and businesses with repeat designs. Gang sheets lower the cost per design when multiple placements are grouped on one sheet.

What is a gang sheet and when should I use one?

A gang sheet places multiple designs on one transfer sheet. Use it when you have logos in different sizes, player names and numbers, sleeve and chest prints, or any mix of designs that need to print together. It lowers your cost per design compared to individual transfers.

Do I need a heat press?

Yes. A heat press is required for consistent, lasting results. It provides even heat and pressure across the full transfer. A household iron does not provide the consistent contact needed for a reliable bond.

What file type should I upload?

PNG with a transparent background at 300 DPI is the standard. PDF, SVG, AI, and EPS are also accepted. Avoid screenshots, JPEG-compressed images, and files designed for screen display at 72 DPI.

How fast are orders ready?

Standard orders placed by 4 PM are ready for next-day pickup by 10 AM. Rush options are available, contact us before ordering to confirm current availability. Nationwide shipping is available on every order.
