What drives the cost
Cost is driven by transfer area. Small chest logos are inexpensive at any quantity; full-front prints cost several times more.

The mockup maker renders dtf transfer the way it actually behaves on each substrate, and refuses the combinations that will not work — so unquotable artwork never reaches the studio.
Preview dtf transferFrequently asked questions
Is DTF better than embroidery?
For multi-colour artwork and short runs, yes. For uniforms worn daily and laundered industrially, embroidery lasts longer.
What is the minimum order?
Twenty-five pieces, which makes it the practical choice for event staff kits.
Does the print feel stiff?
Slightly, on large areas. A chest-sized logo is barely noticeable.
