DTF Transfers by Size
DTF – Transfers by Size gives you a simple way to order custom, ready-to-press graphics according to the dimensions required for your apparel project. Upload your artwork, select the appropriate transfer size and quantity, then prepare your garments for heat-press application.
This option is suitable for custom T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, uniforms, tote bags, team apparel, workwear, event clothing, and branded merchandise. Explore more custom DTF transfer options from Custom Print AZ when planning different designs or order formats.
Choose the Right Transfer Size
Measure the printable area of the garment before choosing your transfer. Consider the design placement, garment style, and wearer size. Small transfers generally work well for chest logos, sleeves, labels, and names. Larger sizes are commonly selected for front prints, back graphics, and statement designs.
- Small sizes: Pocket logos, sleeves, neck labels, and compact branding
- Medium sizes: Youth garments, tote bags, and standard front designs
- Large sizes: Adult shirt fronts, back prints, hoodies, and oversized artwork
Keep enough clearance around collars, seams, pockets, zippers, and garment edges. The exact size should match both your artwork proportions and the usable pressing area.
Artwork and Garment Preparation
Upload high-resolution artwork at the exact dimensions required for your order. Use clean edges, readable details, and a transparent background whenever your design requires isolated graphics. Avoid enlarging small images because scaling may reduce print clarity.
Before pressing, confirm that the garment material can accept the required heat, pressure, and application process. Custom Print AZ also offers DTF supplies for printing workflows. For compatible hard-surface projects rather than apparel, review the UV Transfers collection.
How to Order Transfers by Size
- Select the transfer dimensions that match your garment and placement area.
- Upload your completed, print-ready artwork.

Size Accuracy: Upload your design in the same shape and proportions as your chosen print size to avoid resizing issues.
Color Settings: Set your file to the CMYK color profile for vibrant and accurate colors in your prints.
File Prep Made Easy: Clean up your design by removing unwanted backgrounds and ensuring your artwork is polished for the best outcome.
Size Information
Size Information
When selecting a size like 4"x4", 2"x4", or 6"x6", your design needs to match the shape of the chosen size (square or rectangle). If the shape doesn’t match, we’ll resize your design to fit the longer side while keeping it proportional, so it won’t look stretched or distorted.
Example: If your design measures 11"x7" and you select a 4"x4" size, we’ll adjust the longer side (11") to 4". The shorter side will automatically resize to maintain the original proportions, which means it may not end up as exactly 4".
To avoid changes to your design’s size, upload a file that already matches the shape of your selected size. If the proportions don’t align, we’ll resize it for you, but the shorter side may be smaller than the size you chose.
Pressing Instructions
Pressing Instructions
- No Pre-Press Needed: Skip the pre-press unless preferred.

- Press: Apply medium pressure at 310°F (155°C) for 8 seconds. Use parchment paper to prevent heat damage if testing.
- Instant Peel: Peel immediately after pressing, starting from a corner for smooth application.
