What Is DTF (Direct to Film) Printing?
DTF (Direct to Film) printing is a modern garment decoration method where your design is printed onto a special film, powdered with adhesive, cured, and then heat-pressed onto your garment.
- Works on cotton, polyester, blends, and more
- Great for full-color designs and small details
- Soft feel and excellent wash durability
DTF is ideal for custom t-shirts, hoodies, uniforms, workwear, and branded merchandise.
At Uptown Stitch, we use DTF to create custom T-shirts, tote bags, uniforms, and more — giving our customers endless options for personalization and branding.
Printing Policies and Care
- Customer-Supplied Garments: We handle all garments with care, but we are not responsible for manufacturer defects or heat-related reactions on certain fabrics.
- Artwork Approval: We will not print any design until you approve the final layout and size.
- Color Match: Colors may vary slightly from what you see on your screen due to different screen settings and print processes.
- No Copyrighted Designs: We cannot print licensed or trademarked images without proper permission.
To keep your print looking great:
- Turn garment inside out before washing
- Machine wash cold with mild detergent
- Do not bleach
- Tumble dry low or hang to dry
- Avoid ironing directly on the print (if needed, iron inside out or place a cloth over the design)
Proper care helps extend the life of your custom print.

How Our DTF Process Works
Upload your design file or bring it in-store. We’ll review the file for quality and size.
Your design is printed in full color on DTF film, then coated with adhesive powder and cured.
We press the film onto your garment under professional time, temperature, and pressure settings.
The film is peeled away, leaving a bright, long-lasting design that’s ready to wear.
