Why do the clothing brand increasingly choose DTF?

Clothing brand increasingly choose DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing for customization the brand due to its versatility,

efficiency, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional methods like screen printing or DTG.

Here’s why DTF is a top choice:

1. No Fabric Limitations

Works on 100% cotton, polyester, blends, and even dark fabrics without pre-treatment , unlike sublimation , can be only on polyester blended.

Good adheres to denim, nylon, fleece, and non-textile items (e.g., bags, hats).

2. Vibrant & Detailed Prints

Full-color CMYK prints with high resolution which colors are more vibrant than screen printing colors.

No color limitations, it is unlike laser cutting vinyl, which color limited.

3. Small Batch & On-Demand Production

No setup costs (unlike screen printing, which needs screens/plates).

Cost-effective for no-quantity request (ideal for samples or personalized apparel).

4. Soft, Durable, and Stretchable

Flexible hand feel (softer than screen printing /HTV, though slightly thicker than DTG).

Resists cracking even on stretchy fabrics (e.g., sportswear, leggings).

5. Faster Turnaround & Automation

No weeding or cutting required (unlike HTV).

Print → Heat press = Simpler workflow than multi-step screen printing.

6. Cost-Effective for Factories

Lower labor and skill requirements vs. screen printing.
