Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about our custom DTF printing process, turnaround times, and file requirements.
What is a DTF transfer and how does it work?

Direct to Film (DTF) transfers are full-color printed designs on a specialized clear film that can be applied directly to fabric using a heat press. They work perfectly on any garment, including t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and tote bags, regardless of material color or blend.

What is a gang sheet?

A gang sheet is a large printing area where you group multiple designs together onto a single roll to maximize the printable space. This allows you to combine various logos, sizes, and graphics into one order, saving your apparel business a significant amount of money.

What file types do you accept for custom printing?

We accept high-resolution files, preferably in PNG format, with a minimum resolution of 300 DPI. For the best printing results, please ensure your design background is completely transparent and your artwork color profile is set to CMYK.

What is your standard turnaround time?

Our standard turnaround time is incredibly fast, taking just 1–2 business days from the moment your order is placed to when it is printed and shipped out or ready for pickup.

Do you offer same-day rush printing options?

Yes! If you are in a tight spot, we offer a dedicated Rush Option for a $10.00 fee. Orders placed and submitted by 9:00 AM Monday through Friday are eligible for same-day rush processing to keep your production schedule on track.

Do you ship nationwide or offer local pickup?

Both! We provide reliable nationwide shipping within 1–2 business days. If you are local to the Tulsa area, you can skip the shipping fees entirely and choose local pickup. We are conveniently located right inside Bella Blues Custom Tees & More. Our address is 23 W 41st St, Sand Springs, OK 74063, USA.

How do I apply your DTF transfers to garments?

You will need a commercial heat press machine for the best results. We recommend pressing at 285°F–295°F (140°C–146°C) with medium-to-firm pressure for 10–15 seconds. Let the transfer cool completely before peeling the film away, then give it a quick 5-second post-press with a protective sheet for maximum durability.
