DTF Printing for the Trade

Flexible. Consistent. Built for Modern Trade Orders.

DTF (Direct to Film) printing is one of the most versatile decoration methods available for apparel. At Top Trade Print, we provide trade-only DTF production designed to support resellers who need flexibility, fast turnaround, and reliable results across a wide range of garments.

DTF is ideal when traditional screen printing or embroidery isn’t the most efficient option.

Why Trade Customers Use Us for DTF Printing

✔ Trade-Only, White-Label Production

We work exclusively with the trade.

  • No end-user sales

  • No undercutting

  • No branded paperwork

  • Plain-label and drop-ship options available

Your customers remain fully protected.

✔ Ideal for Short Runs & Complex Artwork

DTF removes many of the limitations of traditional print methods.

  • No screen setup

  • No colour limits

  • Ideal for gradients, fine detail, and full-colour designs

  • Cost-effective for small to medium quantities

This makes DTF perfect for bespoke orders, sampling, and low-MOQ work.

✔ Works Across a Wide Range of Garments

DTF transfers can be applied to:

  • Cotton

  • Polyester

  • Blended fabrics

  • Light and dark garments

This flexibility allows you to quote confidently across varied product ranges without changing print methods.

✔ Consistent, Commercial-Grade Results

Our DTF process is optimised for trade production.

  • Strong colour vibrancy

  • Reliable adhesion

  • Clean edges and detail

  • Consistent output across repeat orders

The result is a professional finish suitable for resale, not hobby-grade printing.

✔ Fast Turnarounds & Production Flexibility

DTF allows us to move quickly without lengthy setup.

  • Efficient production for urgent orders

  • Easy repeatability for reorders

  • Suitable for multiple designs in one run

This makes DTF an excellent option when timelines are tight or artwork varies.

✔ Honest Method Advice

DTF isn’t always the best option — and we’ll tell you when that’s the case.

We advise on:

  • When DTF is more suitable than screen printing or embroidery

  • Garment choice and placement

  • Design sizing and artwork setup

Our goal is helping you deliver the right solution, not forcing a method.

Ideal Applications for Trade DTF Printing

  • T-shirts and hoodies

  • Workwear with complex logos

  • Full-colour promotional garments

  • Short-run or personalised orders

  • Sampling and proofing

If flexibility and detail matter more than setup cost efficiency, DTF is often the right choice.

  • Variable artwork

  • Mixed order sizes
