Calculator Questions
How is DTF cost calculated?
DTF is priced by the bounding box of your design times the per-square-inch rate. Width × height in inches × $0.06 per square inch for standard DTF. A 10 by 12 inch design is 120 sq in × $0.06 = $7.20 per transfer.
Does the calculator include shipping?
No. The calculator shows order subtotal. Orders over $99 ship free in the contiguous US. Orders under $99 ship at standard $9.99 flat rate.
Does the calculator apply VIP discounts?
No. The calculator shows base wholesale pricing. VIP members get 2% to 10% off DTF at checkout depending on tier. Pro and Elite also earn 1% to 2% store credit cashback automatically on every order.
Why does my design area include transparent space?
Per-sq-inch pricing measures the bounding box of your design. Transparent space inside the box still counts because the print area reserves machine time during production.
What is the maximum design size?
DTF: 22 inches wide on a single sheet. UV DTF gang sheets: 24 inches wide. Height varies by product but typically up to several feet for gang sheets.
Are there minimum order quantities?
Most DTF products have no minimum. Puff DTF requires 10 units. Leatherette Patches require 10 per shape and color combination. Custom UV DTF requires a $35 minimum order value.
