Direct to Film (DTF) printing allows users to print their logos and/or artwork onto a special type of coated PET film. The film is coated with an emulsion that acts similarly to the pretreatment for DTG printing – in that it helps to “gel” the ink so that it doesn’t run off the film.
A lightweight powder adhesive is then applied manually or by using an automatic powder shaker to distribute the adhesive evenly across the artwork and film. Melt the powder in a pre-heated curing oven or under a (hovering) heat press – the resulting product is ready for transfer now, or can be stored for later use.
The printed image can be transferred onto textiles by pressing in a heat press for 10-15seconds at 140-162° celsius (time & temperature vary according to film brand), and the film can be removed either while still hot or after cooling – again dependent upon film brand.

Courier services denoted with ATL are “authority to leave” services – which means that if you select one of these shipping methods, you elect to have goods left without signature, and you accept liability of your purchased items being left at your delivery address door. It’s recommended that you consider where you will be during business hours, to ensure you put down a relevant delivery address if you have selected a Courier option. For example, if you are working, we recommend you have your order delivered to work where you can sign for receipt of delivery.
NOTE: we cannot ship to PO boxes using courier services. Please select one of the Australia Post (Express Post or Parcel Post) options if you wish to ship to a PO Box.
Parcel Post and Express Post services are provided by Australia Post.
Courier services denoted as B2B are for delivery to a Commercial address ONLY. Even if you conduct a business from your home or another residential address, this is NOT considered to be a Commercial address by the shipping companies, and additional charges may apply if you select this type of service incorrectly.
We do our absolute best to ensure that your goods are delivered to you as quickly as possible, but sometimes things do go wrong and the couriers might let us down. We hope you understand that once the goods have been collected by the couriers or lodged with the Post Office, we have no control over the parcel’s trip to you. We will, of course, help with tracking and follow up with the courier company if needed.
Of course, should it become evident after full investigation that the parcel is lost with little hope of recovery, we will replace the order.
