Direct-to-film (DTF) printing is a versatile method for creating vibrant, full-color designs on custom apparel. Unlike traditional screen printing, DTF uses specialized transfers that are heat-pressed onto garments, making it an excellent choice for detailed artwork, logos, and designs with multiple colors.
At Top Banana USA in Philadelphia, we offer DTF printing on cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics, including T-shirts, hoodies, performance apparel, and more.
With a minimum order of just 6 garments, DTF printing is a great option for small businesses, clothing brands, teams, and custom merchandise orders.
Every DTF printing project starts with your artwork. We review your design, check the resolution and print dimensions, and prepare it for transfer printing. DTF works especially well for detailed, full-color graphics, logos, and designs with gradients.
Your design is printed onto specialized transfer film using full-color inks and a white ink backing. An adhesive powder is applied and cured, preparing the transfer to bond with the fabric during heat pressing.
The finished DTF transfer is applied to your garment using a professional heat press. Heat and pressure bond the design to the fabric, creating a vibrant, durable print. Each garment is checked for proper placement, adhesion, and overall print quality before pickup or shipping.
We offer custom DTF printing in Philadelphia for T-shirts, hoodies, performance apparel, tote bags, and more. Direct-to-film transfers produce vibrant, full-color designs on cotton, polyester, and blended fabrics.

Not sure whether direct-to-film (DTF) or direct-to-garment (DTG) printing is right for your project? Both methods produce detailed, full-color designs, but they work differently depending on your fabric, artwork, and desired finish.
At Top Banana USA in Philadelphia, we offer both DTF and DTG printing with no minimum order quantities. Here’s how they compare.
Direct-to-film (DTF) printing uses full-color heat transfers to apply detailed designs to custom apparel. It’s a versatile option for cotton, polyester, blended fabrics, and performance wear.
Best For: Performance apparel, polyester shirts, detailed logos, and designs that need to work across different fabric types.
