Direct to Film Printing Services (DTF)
Scotshirts offers professional DTF printing services for businesses, brands and resellers across the UK. Direct to film printing is a modern and highly versatile method that allows detailed, full-colour designs to be printed onto a wide variety of garments and materials. It’s ideal for complex logos, multicolour artwork or low-quantity jobs where traditional screen printing wouldn’t be cost-effective. Whether you’re a clothing brand, promotional supplier or a print-on-demand seller, our DTF service gives you long-lasting results without the usual limitations.
Using advanced UV DTF printer technology, we produce transfers that are vibrant, flexible and stretch-resistant – with excellent durability on both light and dark fabrics.
If you're unsure whether DTF is the right choice, explore DTG printing for soft-touch full-colour garments or screen printing for larger volumes.
DTF Printing for Modern Garment Decoration
At Scotshirts, we use direct to film printing to offer a flexible alternative to both screen and digital direct methods. The process involves printing your design onto a clear film using specialised DTF inks, then applying it to the garment using a heat press. This technique produces strong, clean edges and works brilliantly on cotton, polyesters and blended fabrics alike. DTF is well suited for vibrant graphics, logos with fine outlines, and difficult print placements such as sleeves, chest panels and even zips.
Because the film is printed and applied separately, we can pre-produce designs ahead of application – making it an ideal solution for multi-location branding or complex layouts across different garments in the same order.

Custom DTF Transfers for Print-on-Demand and Retail
DTF printing allows you to quickly produce stunning one-off or small-batch designs, ideal for online shops, creators and clothing brands offering print-on-demand. You can supply your own artwork or work with our team to refine colours and layouts before printing.
Every transfer is sharp, full-colour and smooth to the touch – giving a quality finish with no cracking or fading over time. We help you create retail-ready garments without minimum orders or setup delays.
DTF Printing for Promotional Clothing and Uniforms
Direct to film transfers work especially well for customising promotional t shirts, hoodies, jackets and bags. Whether you’re launching a campaign, creating giveaways or updating your team’s uniforms, we’ll print crisp, detailed graphics that hold up through repeated use.
DTF offers flexibility on garment types and ensures excellent consistency – even across different sizes or fabric blends in the same run.
Multi-Garment Branding Using UV DTF Printer Technology
Our UV DTF printer setup lets us produce consistent, high-quality transfers for multiple garments and positions – including chest prints, back logos, sleeves and more. It’s an efficient way to apply identical designs to different items, such as a mix of polos, sweatshirts and outerwear.
The printed transfers can be stored and applied in batches, making DTF an ideal choice for staged rollouts, staff packs, or recurring branded orders.
