What does pre-cut mean for DTF transfers?

Pre-cut means each transfer is individually contour-cut around your design at our production facility before shipping. The carrier film is trimmed to the boundary of the artwork so you can grab a transfer, place it on the garment, and press without any scissor work on your end.

How much does the pre-cut option add to my order?

$0.29 per individual transfer. The fee covers the contour-cut step and the additional handling time during production. For a 50-piece order, the pre-cut add-on is $14.50 on top of the base transfer pricing.

Why use pre-cut instead of cutting transfers myself?

Three reasons. First, time. A decorator pressing 50 garments saves 30 to 45 minutes of trim work. Second, cut accuracy. Production-grade contour cutting is more precise than scissor trimming, especially on intricate shapes. Third, no scissors required at the press station.

Can I add pre-cut to a gang sheet order?

Yes. Pre-cut on a gang sheet means each individual design on the sheet is contour-cut so you receive separate, ready-to-press transfers instead of a single tiled sheet. The $0.29 per transfer rate applies to each design on the sheet.

Does pre-cut affect transfer quality or durability?

No. The print, film, and adhesive are identical to standard non-cut transfers. Pre-cut only changes the trim. Wash durability, press settings, and bond strength are unchanged.
