DTF Transfers in Bayport, NY for Youth Sports and Travel Teams

Youth sports orders are small, repetitive and time sensitive: a roster of names, a set of numbers, a crest on the chest, and a player who joins two days before the tournament. Long Island DTF Printing ships to Bayport and every other Suffolk County address, with standard DTF at $0.06 per square inch, no minimum, and same day shipping on orders placed by 3 PM Eastern.

Roster math: what names, numbers and a chest crest actually cost

Standard DTF is priced on the bounding box of the design, not on the shirt. A name across the shoulders at 9 by 1.75 inches is 15.75 square inches, so $0.95. A two digit back number at 8 by 9 inches is 72 square inches, or $4.32. A 4 by 4 inch left chest crest is 16 square inches, $0.96. That is $6.23 of transfer per player. A 14 player roster is $87.22. Add two spare numbers at $4.32 each and you are at $95.86, close enough that one more piece crosses the $99 free shipping threshold. There is no minimum on standard DTF, so a single late add is a real order.

Gang sheet or cut transfers for a 14 inch roster run

Gang sheets are 14 inches wide and priced on sheet area, also at $0.06 per square inch. A 14 by 36 sheet is 504 square inches, $30.24. Names at 9 by 1.75 inches with the required 0.25 inch spacing sit one per row on a 2 inch pitch, so 18 names per sheet, $1.68 each. Cut individually those same names are $0.95. At an identical rate, bounding box pricing never costs more than sheet area, because you are not paying for the gaps. Gang sheets earn their keep on handling: one sheet to store, one piece to cut from at the press, nothing to sort. Nest tight and the gap you pay for shrinks.

Two press settings when the order mixes poly jerseys and cotton tees

Game jerseys are usually polyester and press lower than cotton. Our spec is 285 to 300 F for polyester, 300 to 325 F for cotton, 10 to 15 seconds, medium firm pressure. A team order that mixes poly game shirts with cotton practice tees needs both settings, and the common mistake is running the whole box at one number. Press a single test piece on the actual garment before you commit the roster. Applied to spec, transfers hold 50 or more commercial wash cycles at 104 F. Send artwork as a 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background, sized at final print size, so the number on screen is the number on the shirt.

The 3 PM cutoff against a Saturday tournament

Production runs Monday to Friday. An order placed by 3 PM Eastern on a business day is printed, inspected, packed and handed to the carrier that same business day. That is the standard service, not an upgrade and not a fee. Orders after 3 PM, or on a weekend or federal holiday, ship the next business day. Same day shipping is not same day delivery. Standard transit is 2 to 5 business days, expedited is 1 to 3. So for a Saturday tournament, a Monday order on standard transit has room. A Thursday order does not, unless you choose expedited or pick up. Tuesday roster changes during tournament week are exactly what the cutoff is for.

Three ways a Bayport team takes delivery

Bayport sits in the Town of Islip, Suffolk County, and there are three ways to receive an order. Shipping is free on orders of $99 and up in the contiguous US, 2 to 5 business days standard or 1 to 3 expedited. Local pickup is available at our Huntington facility, 205 E Main St, Ste 2-1, the same business day after production, by appointment. A $19.99 flat rate local courier option appears at checkout for eligible Long Island addresses, so check your address at checkout rather than assuming it applies. Huntington is our only location. Nothing needs to be dropped off anywhere: artwork uploads straight from the order page.

Sideline and fundraiser items, and the ones that are not same day

Teams rarely stop at the jersey. UV DTF at $0.10 per square inch applies to hard goods, so a 2.5 by 2.5 inch team mark for water bottles and bat bags is $0.63 each. Die cut vinyl stickers at $0.22 per square inch put a 4 by 4 inch car decal at $3.52, which leaves usable margin on a fundraiser. Glow in the dark DTF is $0.18 per square inch. Watch the timing on specialty work: raised UV patches, dimensional UV graphics and fauxbroidery are 48 hours, leatherette patches and puff DTF are 72 hours. Only standard DTF, UV DTF and gang sheets are same day products.

Who orders from Bayport

Travel team parent coordinator

You place the full roster order once, then patch it all season. Price names, numbers and the chest crest with the calculator, order spare numbers in the common sizes, and keep the file for next season's roster.

Youth league board or program manager

Several teams, one art file, different shirt colors. Gang sheets at 14 inches wide give you one sheet per team to cut from, and there is no minimum if a single team needs a reprint mid season.

Coach handling mid season roster adds

One player joins, one number changes. A single name at 9 by 1.75 inches is $0.95 with no minimum, and if the order is in before 3 PM Eastern on a weekday it goes to the carrier that day.

Decorator or apparel shop serving local teams

You press, we print. Send 300 DPI transparent PNGs at final size, get press ready transfers at $0.06 per square inch, and add pre cut contour cutting at $0.29 per transfer when the shapes are fiddly.

Bayport questions

Can I get team transfers in time for a weekend tournament?
Order by 3 PM Eastern on a weekday and it ships that same business day. Transit is separate: 2 to 5 business days standard, 1 to 3 expedited. For a Saturday tournament, a Monday order on standard shipping has margin. Later in the week, choose expedited or pick up in Huntington by appointment.
Is there a minimum order for a youth team?
No minimum on standard DTF transfers, so a single replacement name or one added number is a valid order. Minimums exist elsewhere in the catalog: puff DTF is 10 units, custom UV DTF has a $35 order minimum, and leatherette patches are 10 per shape and color.
How much does a 12 player roster of names and numbers cost?
Using common sizes: a 9 by 1.75 inch name is 15.75 square inches at $0.95, an 8 by 9 inch two digit number is 72 square inches at $4.32, and a 4 by 4 inch chest crest is $0.96. That is $6.23 per player, or $74.76 for twelve. Spares price the same way.
Should I order a gang sheet or individual cut transfers for a roster?
Both run $0.06 per square inch, but gang sheets charge sheet area including the 0.25 inch spacing, while cut transfers charge only the bounding box. Cut transfers are never more expensive. Choose a gang sheet when you want one piece to handle and cut from at the press instead of a stack of small transfers.
What press settings do polyester game jerseys need?
Polyester presses at 285 to 300 F, cotton at 300 to 325 F, both 10 to 15 seconds at medium firm pressure. If the order mixes poly jerseys and cotton practice tees, run them as two batches at two settings. Pressed to spec, transfers hold 50 or more commercial wash cycles at 104 F.
