Pre-Cut DTF Transfers | Custom Heat Transfers by Size

Pre-Cut DTF Transfers, Printed and Cut to the Size You Need

A pre-cut DTF transfer is a direct-to-film heat transfer printed and trimmed to one specific size, ready to apply to a garment with a heat press. Buyers are shops and decorators who already know the design and the size they need repeated — uniform runs, event shirts, team orders and reorder programs. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery prints them on industrial-grade film at our Houston, TX facility, where we have decorated since 1979.

The product here is the transfer itself, not a garment. You upload artwork, choose a size, and we print it full color with a white underbase on industrial-grade film, cure it, and ship it ready to press. Pressing is 310F / 155C at medium-to-high pressure for 13 seconds, hot peel. No weeding, no screens, no per-color charges, and no pre-treatment required on the garment.

Why Buyers Pick It

Pre-cut is the format for repetition. A gang sheet is the cheaper answer when you have many different designs to fit on one sheet, but if you are running the same left-chest mark across 200 uniform shirts, you do not want to cut them apart yourself. These arrive already trimmed and stacked, so a press operator can work straight through the pile. Shops running standing reorder programs order the same size again off the same file.

Sizing

Sizing here means transfer size, not garment size. Standard pre-cut dimensions run from roughly 1.17in x 0.72in for a small mark up to 21.8in x 16.35in for a full-front print, with common sizes in between such as 3in x 3in, 3.5in x 2.58in, 4in x 2.17in, 5in x 2.3in, 6in x 2.44in, 10in x 3.61in, 10.72in x 4.19in and 12in x 11.04in. Custom sizes are cut to order. Pricing follows the square inch, so a smaller transfer costs less. There is no minimum — order a single transfer if that is all you need.

How to Order

Upload your artwork — PNG with a transparent background works best — choose your size, and we review the file before anything prints. There is no minimum: order one transfer or thousands, priced by the square inch from 4 cents. Every custom order includes a free digital mockup for approval before production. Pre-cut transfers ship in 2-3 business days from Houston; decorated apparel we produce for you runs 7-10 business days from proof approval, with rush available on request. Free ground shipping applies to most orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are pre-cut DTF transfers?
They are full-color direct-to-film heat transfers printed and trimmed to a specific size, ready to apply with a heat press. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery prints them in-house at our Houston, TX facility — we are a decorator, and your artwork stays with us.

Is there a minimum order quantity?
No minimum quantity. Order a single transfer or as many as you need; pricing is per square inch starting at 4 cents. Caps are the only place a quantity rule applies in our catalog — decorated headwear starts at 12 pieces.

What sizes can I order?
Standard sizes range from about 1.17in x 0.72in up to 21.8in x 16.35in, and we cut custom dimensions to order. Because pricing is by the square inch, you pay for the area you actually use.

How do I apply a pre-cut DTF transfer?
Press at 310F (155C) with medium-to-high pressure for 13 seconds, then hot peel. It works on cotton, polyester, nylon, denim and canvas with no pre-treatment or weeding, and the print is color-fast and wash-durable to 50+ washes.

What file format do you need, and do you check it?
PNG with a transparent background is preferred. We review every file before printing and will tell you if something in your artwork will not press cleanly — 47 years in the business means we usually spot it. Your file stays on record so a reorder runs off the same art with no rework.

What is the difference between pre-cut transfers and a gang sheet?
Gang sheets are for variety: you arrange multiple different designs on one large sheet and print them together. Pre-cut is for repetition: the same design at one size, ordered in quantity. You can order both, and you can also have us decorate the garments for you — apparel carries no minimum, while caps start at 12 pieces.

How fast do pre-cut transfers ship?
2-3 business days from our Houston, TX facility. If you need it faster, contact us and we will do what we can — rush is available on request.
