DTF Transfers for Baywood School Spirit Wear and PTA Fundraisers
Spirit wear and PTA fundraisers run on a calendar and a budget, and both are tight. This page covers what a Baywood school order actually costs at $0.06 per square inch, how to size youth and adult fronts off one artwork file, and how the 3 PM Eastern cutoff fits a meeting schedule.
The square inch math on a spirit wear front
Price is the design's bounding box times $0.06. A 10 by 12 inch full front is 120 square inches, so $7.20 per transfer. Run that across 120 pre-sold shirts and your transfer cost is $864. Shrink the same art to 9 by 11 and you are at 99 square inches, $5.94 each, $712.80 for the run. One inch either way is worth about $151 on a fundraiser, so decide the print size before you decide the price point. There is no minimum on standard DTF, so a 12 shirt teacher order bills at the same rate as a 400 shirt district run. Orders of $99 and up ship free in the contiguous US.
Youth and adult sizes off one artwork file
Most school orders are two print sizes from one file. Youth fronts land around 7.5 by 9 inches, which is 67.5 square inches and $4.05. Adult fronts run about 11 by 13 inches, which is 143 square inches and $8.58. Order them as two line items rather than pressing an adult size onto a youth small, where the art crowds the side seams. Left chest logos are the cheapest thing you will buy: 3.5 by 3.5 inches is 12.25 square inches, or $0.74 each. Supply one 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background, built at the larger of your two final sizes, and we scale down from there.
Gang sheet or individual transfers for name and number backs
Both products bill at $0.06 per square inch. Individual transfers are measured on the bounding box. Gang sheets are measured on the whole sheet, so a 14 by 72 inch sheet is $60.48 whether you fill it or not. Sixty player names at 8 by 2 inches are 16 square inches each, $0.96 apiece, $57.60 as individual transfers. Nested on a 14 inch wide sheet those same names only stack one column deep, roughly 32 per sheet, so two sheets cost $120.96. Run the auto-build packer first. If the layout leaves more than about 15 percent of the sheet empty, order the pieces individually. Minimum spacing between designs is 0.25 inch.
The 3 PM cutoff against a PTA meeting calendar
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 for every customer, not a rush fee and not an upgrade. Approve artwork at a Tuesday evening meeting, submit Wednesday morning, and it goes out Wednesday. Orders placed after 3 PM Eastern, on a weekend, or on a federal holiday ship the next business day. Shipping same day is not delivery same day: standard transit is 2 to 5 business days and expedited is 1 to 3. Count backwards from the event date, not from the order date.
Press settings for cotton tees and poly gym shirts
School blanks split two ways. Cotton tees press at 300 to 325 F. Performance polyester, which most gym and field day shirts are cut from, presses at 285 to 300 F so the fabric does not scorch or dye migrate into the print. Both run 10 to 15 seconds at medium-firm pressure. Test one shirt from each blank before you press 120. Applied to spec, a transfer holds 50 or more commercial wash cycles at 104 F, which is the standard a shirt washed twice a week for a school year has to meet. If the order mixes cotton hoodies and poly tees, press them as two batches at two temperatures.
Getting the box to Baywood: ship, pickup, or courier

Ship it, free at $99 and up in the contiguous US, 2 to 5 business days standard or 1 to 3 expedited. Pick it up in Huntington by appointment, the same business day production finishes.

Timeline questions on a fundraiser go to 631-458-3842 or our order desk before you open pre-sales, not after.
Who orders from Baywood
PTA fundraiser chairs
Pre-sell over two weeks, close the form, then place one order with exact youth and adult counts. No minimum means you never buy inventory you did not sell, and the per shirt transfer cost is fixed math.
Booster clubs and team parents
Mascot fronts plus name and number backs for a season roster. Names at 8 by 2 inches run $0.96 each as individual transfers, so a 60 player set is about $57.60 before the fronts.
Teachers and classroom parents
Field trip shirts, reading challenge tees, end of year class sets. A 12 piece run prices at the same $0.06 per square inch as a district order, and a 5 by 5 inch design is $1.50 apiece.
Shops printing school work in Islip
Outsource the transfer side and keep the press time. Order by 3 PM Eastern and it ships that business day, or pick up in Huntington by appointment once production finishes.
Baywood questions
- How much does a 100 shirt spirit wear order cost for a Baywood school?
- It depends entirely on print size. At $0.06 per square inch, a 10 by 12 inch front is 120 square inches, so $7.20 per transfer and $720 for 100. A 9 by 11 inch front is 99 square inches, $5.94 each, $594 for the same 100. Blanks are not included. Shipping is free at $99 and up in the contiguous US.
- Is there a minimum order for a small classroom or single team run?
- No. Standard DTF transfers have no minimum, so 12 shirts for one classroom bill at the same $0.06 per square inch as a 500 piece order. Minimums exist only on a few specialty items: puff DTF at 10 units, custom UV DTF at a $35 order minimum, and leatherette patches at 10 per shape and color.
- Our school logo is a JPG someone pulled off a website. Can you print it?
- Usually, but a JPG carries a white box that will print as white ink around the art. Use the free background knockout tool on our site to strip it, then export a 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background at final print size. A small web logo scaled up to an 11 inch front will look soft, so start from the largest file anyone has.
- If we order Monday, will the shirts reach Baywood for Friday?
- Order by 3 PM Eastern Monday and it ships Monday, but shipping is not delivery. Standard transit is 2 to 5 business days and expedited is 1 to 3, so Friday is likely rather than guaranteed. For a hard event date, choose pickup in Huntington, use the local courier option if it appears at checkout, or order a full week out.
- Can we pick up in Huntington instead of shipping to Baywood?
- Yes. Local pickup is by appointment at 205 E Main St, Ste 2-1, Huntington, NY 11743, available the same business day production finishes. There is no drop-off or pickup point in Baywood, since Huntington is our only location. A $19.99 flat-rate local courier option also appears at checkout for eligible Long Island addresses.
