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.

Why Choose DTF Printing?
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.

Ideal for Resellers & DIY Application

We supply DTF transfers that you can heat-press yourself — perfect for small businesses, clothing brands or designers who want to press their own stock.
