Open Calculator →How DTF pricing works
Transfer cost scales with area. A 10×12 print uses more film, ink and powder than a left-chest badge.
Gang sheets lower the cost per design only if you actually fill the sheet and account for weeding and waste.
The garment is often the largest line item on a finished shirt. Transfers sold without garments should not hide that cost in a bundled price.
Build press time and a realistic waste percentage into every quote, especially on first-time prints.
