Follow these simple instructions for a perfect DTF application:
- Press the garment at 320F for 15 sec.
- Position and place the transfer onto the garment.
- Press the transfer using an heat press or an iron at 320F using medium pressure for 15 seconds.
- Allow it to cool at least 2-3 minutes and peel from any side. Cold peel
- There is no need for a repress but it is recommended. So for a repress, simply place the parchment paper again and press 320F for 15 seconds.

- Prepare the Surface
- Clean the surface where you will apply the sticker using a mild cleaner. Ensure it's dry and free of dust, dirt, or oils for the best adhesion.
- Peel the Sticker
- Carefully peel off the backing paper from the UVDTF sticker, ensuring you don't touch the adhesive side.
- Position the Sticker
- Align the sticker in the exact spot you want to apply it. Use a ruler or tape to guide straight edges if needed.
- Apply the Sticker
- Gently press the sticker onto the surface. Start from one end and work your way across to avoid air bubbles.
- Use a squeegee, credit card, or similar tool to smooth the sticker down, applying pressure evenly to ensure good adhesion.
- Remove the Top Film
- Slowly peel off the clear transfer film from the top of the sticker, making sure the sticker stays adhered to the surface.
- Final Press
- Once the top film is removed, press down the sticker again with your fingers or a soft cloth to ensure all edges are sealed.
- Let It Set
- Allow the sticker to set for 24 hours for full adhesion.
