About DTFBAY
Premium DTF Transfers. Made in North Carolina.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════

We're DTFBAY — a Greensboro, NC-based custom DTF (Direct-to-
Film) transfer printing company built on one simple promise: 
your order, printed and shipped within 24 hours. No minimums, 
no waiting weeks, no compromises on quality.

We started DTFBAY because we saw a gap in the custom apparel 
industry. Print shops, small business owners, and creators 
were stuck between two bad options: cheap overseas services 
that took weeks to arrive, or local printers with high 
minimums and limited capabilities.

So we built something different — a modern DTF printing 
operation powered by our own AI gang sheet builder, located 
right here in North Carolina, ready to ship to anywhere in 
the United States within one business day.

What Makes Us Different

🚀 24-Hour Turnaround
Most orders ship the same day or next business day. We know 
deadlines matter — whether you're a brand launching a new 
drop or a print shop with a wholesale customer waiting.

🤖 AI-Powered Gang Sheet Builder
Our proprietary AI automatically optimizes your gang sheet 
layout to minimize waste — which means lower prices for you 
and better use of every inch of film.

🎨 Premium Print Quality
We use top-grade DTF inks and films to deliver vibrant, 
durable transfers that hold up wash after wash. Soft hand 
feel. Crisp detail. True colors.

💼 Built for Pros and Beginners Alike
Whether you're a print shop ordering wholesale or a first-
time customer printing a single shirt, our three ordering 
options (Upload, By Size, AI Builder) make it easy to get 
exactly what you need.

📍 Made in the USA — Local Pickup Available
We're proud to print and ship from our Greensboro, NC 
facility. Located nearby? Skip shipping entirely with our 
local pickup option.

Have any questions?

Not Sure How DTF Printing Works Or How To Press Your Design? Don't Worry—We've Got Answers For You!

Q1. What is DTF printing and how does it work?

A: DTF (Direct to Film) is a method where designs are printed onto film, powdered, and heat-pressed onto garments.

Q2. What are the benefits of DTF printing?

A: It supports full-color designs, works on cotton and polyester, and is ideal for small batches.

Q3. Is DTF printing durable?

A: Yes, with proper application, DTF prints are stretch-resistant and long-lasting even after multiple washes.

Q4. What materials can DTF be applied to?

A: Cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, and more—as long as they can withstand heat.

Q5. Do you print custom designs or only pre-made ones?

A: We print custom designs that you upload. You can also choose from our template collection if available.

Q1. What file format should I upload?

A: High-resolution PNG (300 DPI) with transparent background is best. We also accept SVG and PSD.

Q2. Can I upload a design with a background?

A: You can, but for best results, remove the background or request our team to do it.

Q3. Is there a minimum size for my design?

A: Yes, your design should be at least 1000px on its shortest side for print clarity.

Q4. Do you check my file before printing?

A: We do a basic quality check. If there's an issue, we'll contact you before printing.

Q5. Do you offer help with resizing or editing files?

A: Yes, we provide optional design editing services for a small fee.

Q1. How long does production take?

A: Orders are typically processed within 1–3 business days.

Q2. Can I place a rush order?

A: Yes, expedited production and shipping are available at checkout.

Q3. Do you accept bulk or wholesale orders?

A: Definitely! Contact us for special pricing on bulk or reseller orders.

Q4. Can I reorder the same design later?

A: Yes, we keep your designs on file for easy reorders (up to 60 days).

Q1. What temperature and time should I use?

A: Recommended: 310°F (155°C), press for 10 seconds, instant peel (cold or hot).

Q2. Should I peel hot or cold?

A: Most DTF transfers are cold peel—wait 15–20 seconds before removing the film.

Q3. Can I wash the garment immediately after pressing?

A: Wait at least 24 hours before washing to ensure strong adhesion.

Q4. What pressure level is ideal?

A: Medium to firm pressure ensures the best transfer result.

Q5. My print is peeling off. What went wrong?

A: Check your heat press temperature, pressure, and peel timing. Repressing may help.
