I run an embroidery shop in East Shoreham and have never ordered DTF. What do you need from me?

A 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background, sized at final print size. No vector conversion, no color separations, no stitch file. If the customer sent a logo sitting on a white background, run it through the free knockout tool on the site. Price the job yourself first with the per square inch calculator: bounding box area times $0.06.

Is there a minimum order if I only need 12 transfers?

No minimum on standard DTF transfers, so 12 is fine and so is 1. Twelve 4 by 4 left chests are 16 square inches each at $0.06, so $0.96 apiece and $11.52 for the set. Minimums exist elsewhere in the catalog: puff DTF is 10 units, leatherette patches are 10 per shape and color, and custom UV DTF has a $35 order minimum.

If I order Monday at 2 PM, when does my shop have film in hand?

It is printed, inspected, packed and handed to the carrier on Monday. Transit is separate: 2 to 5 business days standard, 1 to 3 expedited. If you need it faster, pick up at our Huntington facility the same business day after production, by appointment, or see whether the $19.99 flat rate courier option appears at checkout for your Long Island address.

Can I put a whole job's placements on one gang sheet?

Yes, within a 14 inch width and a 0.25 inch minimum spacing between designs. A 14 by 36 at $30.24 holds two 11 by 14 fronts stacked with a 2.75 inch column left over for 2 inch sleeve hits. Use the drag and drop builder or the auto packer to lay it out. UV DTF gang sheets run 24 inches wide.

Does fauxbroidery ship same day like standard transfers?

No. Fauxbroidery is a 48 hour product because the build and cure stages are additive, and leatherette patches are 72 hours with a 10 piece minimum per shape and color. Standard DTF, UV DTF and gang sheets are the same day products when the order is placed by 3 PM Eastern on a business day.

DTF Transfers in East Shoreham, NY for Embroidery and Screen Print Shops

If you run an embroidery or screen print shop in East Shoreham, the jobs you turn away are usually the same ones: 18 pieces, seven colors, or a reorder due Friday. We print those as DTF transfers at $0.06 per square inch with no minimum, and an order placed by 3 PM Eastern on a business day is on the carrier the same business day.

Order DTF Transfers Price It First

The work Brookhaven decorators hand off

The subcontract list is predictable. Full color art that would need six or seven screens on a 24 piece order. Photographic logos with gradients that will not halftone cleanly. Reorders of 12 that do not justify reclaiming and burning screens again. Name and number changes on a roster you already decorated. Left chest marks on thin performance poly where the stitch count is wrong for the garment. Samples to show a customer before they sign off. None of that needs a setup charge here. Standard DTF transfers are $0.06 per square inch of the design's bounding box with no minimum order, so a one off sample and a 200 piece run price the same way per inch.

Per piece math for the placements you already run

Price it against your own placement chart. A 4 by 4 inch left chest is 16 square inches, so $0.96. A 3.5 by 3.5 is 12.25 square inches, $0.74. A 2 by 11 sleeve hit is 22 square inches, $1.32. An 11 by 14 full front is 154 square inches, $9.24. A 12 by 16 back is 192 square inches, $11.52. A 48 piece job carrying an 11 by 14 front and a 3.5 inch left chest on every shirt is $443.52 plus $35.28, so $478.80 in transfers. That clears the $99 free shipping threshold for the contiguous US with room to spare.

Gang sheets, contour cutting, and which one is actually cheaper

DTF gang sheets are 14 inches wide, priced on sheet area at the same $0.06, in fixed lengths: 14 by 18 is $15.12, 14 by 24 is $20.16, 14 by 36 is $30.24, 14 by 48 is $40.32, 14 by 54 is $45.36, 14 by 72 is $60.48. Minimum spacing between designs is 0.25 inch. Fifteen 4 by 4 logos nest three across and five down on a 14 by 24. Bought as individual transfers those fifteen are $14.40, and pre cut contour cutting is $0.29 each, so $18.75 if you want them separated for you. The sheet is $20.16 and you cut it yourself. Decide on labor, not on price.

Working backwards from the 3 PM Eastern cutoff

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 on every order, not a rush tier and not something you pay extra for. After 3 PM, or on a weekend or federal holiday, it ships the next business day. Shipping same day is not delivery same day: standard domestic transit is 2 to 5 business days, expedited is 1 to 3. Local pickup at our Huntington facility is available the same business day after production, by appointment, and a $19.99 flat rate courier option appears at checkout for eligible Long Island addresses.

Fauxbroidery and patches run longer, so quote them differently

Not everything is a same day product. Fauxbroidery, the embroidery look DTF that gives you stitch texture without a stitch file, runs 48 hours. So do raised UV patches, dimensional UV graphics and luxury branding transfers, because the cure and build stages are additive. Leatherette patches and puff DTF run 72 hours, and leatherette carries a 10 piece minimum per shape and color while puff carries a 10 unit minimum. Standard DTF, UV DTF and gang sheets are the same day products. If a customer wants a fauxbroidery crest and a printed back on one order, build two dates into the schedule or split it so the standard film moves today.

Press settings, wash life, and what happens if a sheet is bad

Press at 300 to 325 F on cotton, 285 to 300 F on polyester, 10 to 15 seconds, medium firm pressure. Applied to spec, the print holds up through 50 or more commercial wash cycles at 104 F, which is the number that matters when you are decorating uniforms somebody launders every week. Send artwork as a 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background at final print size. The site has a free background knockout tool for when a customer sends a JPG on white, plus a per square inch calculator, a drag and drop gang sheet builder, an auto packer and a catalog of 2,434 ready to print designs. Production defects are reprinted: report a defective or incorrect order within 7 days of delivery with photos.

Who orders from East Shoreham

Embroidery shops adding full color apparel work

Take the jobs digitizing cannot serve: gradients, photographic logos, thin performance poly. Send a 300 DPI transparent PNG instead of a stitch file, press at 300 to 325 F on cotton, and keep the customer in house.

Screen printers covering short runs and high color counts

A seven color job on 18 pieces never pays for screens. At $0.06 per square inch with no minimum and no setup charge, you quote it as film, press it, and keep your press free for the long runs.

Shops handling reorders, names and numbers

Reorders of a dozen and roster changes do not justify burning screens again. Order by 3 PM Eastern on a business day and the transfers are on the carrier that day, with 2 to 5 business day standard transit.

Contract decorators quoting mixed placement jobs

Front, back, sleeve and left chest on one order. Nest them on a 14 inch gang sheet with 0.25 inch spacing, or buy each placement at bounding box price and add $0.29 per transfer for pre cut contour cutting.
