How to apply (step-by-step)

Using a heat press (recommended)

1. Preheat your heat press to medium heat (check your press manual for exact temp).

2. Pre-press the garment for 5–8 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.

3. Position the DTF label on the garment with the film side up (design facing the fabric).

4. Cover with a Teflon sheet or parchment paper.

5. Press for 8–15 seconds with medium pressure.

6. Carefully remove the film while warm or cold depending on the label type — follow the small peel instruction included.

7. Cover and press again for 2–3 seconds to set if desired.

Using a household iron

1. Set iron to a cotton/linen or medium setting (no steam).

2. Pre-press the garment for a few seconds.

3. Place the DTF label in position, film side up.

4. Cover with parchment paper and press firmly for 20–30 seconds, applying even pressure.

5. Peel film according to the label’s instructions (warm or cold peel).

6. Press again briefly to finish.

Care & tips
