What is DTF printing?
DTF (Direct to Film) is full-colour printing on a special film. The design is printed on the film, coated with adhesive powder and transferred onto fabric with a heat press. The result is a sharp, flexible print that holds up well after many washes, on cotton, polyester and blends.
- Full colour, gradients and photos, with no separate setup for each colour.
- Worth it even for small runs: no minimum number of pieces per logo.
- You pay for the length of film, so several different logos in the same metre cost the same as one.
- The film arrives ready to press, and you transfer it onto clothing whenever you need.

DTF printing price
The price is 10,00 € per running metre of film, excl. VAT. The minimum order is 1 m: if your layout is shorter, 1 m is charged, so it pays to fit as many logos as possible into the same metre. Length is rounded up to the nearest 10 cm. Regular customers may have a special price.
| Example | Size and quantity | Film | Excl. VAT | Incl. VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chest logo | 8 × 8 cm, 200 pcs | 3,10 m | 31,00 € | 37,51 € |
| Badge or icon | 10 × 10 cm, 100 pcs | 2,20 m | 22,00 € | 26,62 € |
| Back lettering | 25 × 6 cm, 50 pcs | 1,80 m | 18,00 € | 21,78 € |
| Large design | 30 × 30 cm, 20 pcs | 6,20 m | 62,00 € | 75,02 € |
Examples are calculated for one logo per order, on 60 cm wide film. Several different logos share the same metre.

Film 60 cm wide. Logos are spaced 8 mm apart and rotated by 90° when needed.
How to prepare a file for DTF printing
- SVG or PNG with a transparent background give the best result. SVG is a vector and stays sharp at any size.
- Avoid JPG with a white background: the white background prints as a white rectangle around the logo. The website warns you about this.
- Resolution: for PNG, aim for about 300 dpi at the desired size. The website warns you when the image is too small for the chosen size.
- Text in SVG files should be converted to outlines, so the font does not change.
- The largest design on the film is 60 cm; longer sides are turned along the film.
DTF printing FAQ
What is DTF printing and how does it differ from screen printing and embroidery?+
DTF (Direct to Film) is full-colour printing on a special film, which is then heat-pressed onto fabric. Unlike screen printing, there is no separate screen setup for each colour, so it pays off even for small runs and complex designs with gradients and photos. Unlike embroidery, the print is thin and flexible.
How much does DTF printing cost?+
The price is 10,00 € per running metre of film, excl. VAT. You pay only for the length of film your logos take up, regardless of the number of colours. Before you send the order, the website shows you the exact length and amount. Regular customers may have a special price.
What is the minimum order?+
The minimum order is 1 m of film. If your layout takes up less, 1 m is charged, so it pays to fit as many logos as possible into the same metre. The website shows you how many more pieces fit for the same money.
How long does production take?+
The printed film is ready for pickup 24 hours after you order. You get an email when it is done.
Which files can I send?+
We accept SVG, PNG and JPG logos. SVG (a vector, sharp at any size) and PNG with a transparent background give the best result, at about 300 dpi at the desired size. JPG has no transparent background, so a white background would print as a white rectangle; the website warns you before you send.
How does the website lay out logos on the film?+
You enter the logo width or height (the other dimension changes proportionally) and the number of pieces. The website automatically lays out the logos on 60 cm wide film with 8 mm spacing and rotates them by 90° when that saves film. Orders longer than 5 m are split evenly into several files; each is billed separately, at least 1 m. You can also edit the layout by hand: move, rotate and copy pieces.
Do you print directly on T-shirts and other clothing?+
Here you order printed film ready to press, which you transfer onto fabric yourself with a heat press. If you want us to brand clothing you order from us, see the Logo printing and embroidery page or request a quote.
How do I press DTF film?+
Adjust the temperature, pressure and pressing time to the fabric and to the film and press manufacturer’s instructions. If you need advice, call us on +382 67 232 600.
How do I order and pay?+
Orders are sent from a company account: you need an approved B2B account (request it on the website). Once the service is enabled for your account, upload your logos on the DTF printing page and send the order. You receive a pro forma invoice by email, payment is in advance against the pro forma, and you pick up the finished film in Podgorica (X crnogorske brigade).
