Subcontract DTF Production for Your Embroidery Shop

Embroidery shops handle overflow work by subcontracting DTF production. Same-day turnaround, no minimums, and local Huntington pickup let you scale without new equipment. At $0.06 per square inch, DTF extends your product line and meets seasonal demand spikes.

Order DTF Transfers Price It First

Subcontract DTF when embroidery reaches capacity

When a custom order exceeds your embroidery time or your customer needs mixed embroidery and DTF graphics, subcontracting DTF to an established printer eliminates delays. You place the order by 3 PM Eastern on a business day, and we print, inspect, pack and hand your transfers to the carrier the same business day. No setup fees, no minimums, and no delay. Whether you need one transfer or several hundred, pricing stays predictable at $0.06 per square inch, with no hidden fees. At that price point, your cost scales with what you actually need.

Pricing for typical embroidery shop sizes

A 6x4 inch design costs $1.44 per transfer. Twenty-four transfers for a small run: $34.56. A 4x6 inch hip placement runs $1.44 each; a job of 100 pieces is $144. Larger designs run higher, but with no setup fees or minimums you pay only for what you print. Gang sheets are also available if you prefer to consolidate multiple small designs onto 14-inch-wide sheets: a 14x18 sheet is $15.12 and holds several designs with at least 0.25 inch spacing between them. The math stays predictable and direct: square inches times $0.06, plus shipping.

Same-day production and local pickup or delivery

Standard production is same-day: order by 3 PM Eastern and your transfers ship the same business day. Local pickup at our Huntington facility is available the same day after production, by appointment. For eligible Long Island addresses, a $19.99 flat-rate local courier option is available at checkout. If you prefer standard shipping, expect 2 to 5 business days to arrive; expedited is 1 to 3 business days. Orders over $99 ship free. No matter your choice, production is never the bottleneck.

Press settings for embroidery equipment

DTF transfers press onto the same equipment you use for screen printing. Cotton garments press at 300 to 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 15 seconds under medium-firm pressure. Polyester runs slightly cooler at 285 to 300 degrees for the same duration. The transfers are durable through 50 or more commercial wash cycles at 104 degrees. Artwork should be delivered as a 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background at final print size. If a transfer arrives damaged or incorrect, report it within 7 days with photos and we reprint at no charge.

Gang sheets for multi-design orders

If you're combining multiple small designs for one job or customer, gang sheets consolidate them efficiently. Gang sheets are 14 inches wide and come in fixed lengths: 14x18, 14x24, 14x36, 14x48, 14x54, and 14x72. Pricing is still $0.06 per square inch of sheet area. A 14x24 sheet (standard legal size) is $20.16. Designs require at least 0.25 inch spacing between them. This is useful when a customer orders a hoodie, a t-shirt, and a tote bag all with the same logo in different sizes, or when you're consolidating small orders to reduce shipping cost.
