FAQ

🛒 Ordering

How do I place an order?
You can place an order directly on our website. Simply upload your design file, choose your print size, quantity, and checkout. No minimum order required.

What file formats do you accept?
We recommend high-resolution PNG files (300 DPI, transparent background). JPG, PDF, or SVG may also work, but PNG ensures the best print results.

Can I upload multiple designs in one order?
Yes. You can upload several designs, or combine them into a gang sheet to save on costs.

Do you check files before printing?
Yes, our system automatically checks file size, DPI, and transparency. If any issues are detected, we’ll contact you before production.


🎨 Print & Quality

What materials can your transfers be applied to?
Our DTF transfers work on cotton, polyester, blends, canvas, and more. They’re perfect for t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, and even dark fabrics.

Are the prints durable?
Absolutely. With proper pressing and washing, our prints last 50+ washes without cracking or fading.

Do the prints feel heavy or stiff?
No. We use premium film and powder for a soft, flexible feel after pressing.

How can I track my order?

🔄 Returns & Issues

Can I cancel or change my order?
Orders can only be changed or canceled before printing begins. Once production starts, we’re unable to make modifications.

If you receive defective or incorrect prints, please email us within 7 days with photos. We’ll review and issue a replacement if applicable.
