DIRECT TO FILM - DTF PRINTING
High-Definition Prints for Any Fabric
DTF printing (Direct-to-Film) is one of the fastest-growing apparel decoration methods in South Africa — and for good reason. It produces vibrant, durable, high-detail prints on any fabric type, including cotton, polyester, blends, fleece, canvas and more. At Sandre, we use top-grade DTF film, powder and inks to deliver soft, high-stretch, full-colour prints that work perfectly for corporate clothing, branding agencies, sportswear, fashion brands and small businesses.
Whether you need custom t-shirts, hoodies, workwear, or DTF transfers for self-application, Sandre delivers fast, consistent quality with no minimum order quantities.
Prints on Any Fabric
DTF works on cotton, polyester, polycotton blends, fleece, hoodies, canvas, nylon and more — giving you flexibility that other printing methods can’t match.
Extremely Durable & Wash-Resistant
DTF prints stay vibrant wash after wash. The adhesive powder bonds the ink deeply into the fabric, ensuring long-term durability without peeling or cracking.
Full-Colour, High-Detail Prints
Gradients, shadows, complex graphics, photographic designs — DTF handles them all beautifully.
Soft, Lightweight Feel
Unlike traditional vinyl or thick screen-print layers, DTF has a soft, flexible finish that moves naturally with the fabric.
Perfect for Small or Bulk Orders
Whether you need one print or one thousand, DTF is fast, efficient and cost-effective.
