DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers are designed to be highly durable when properly applied to quality garments. With normal washing and care, a professionally produced DTF print can last for years without significant fading or loss of color. Following the recommended care instructions—such as washing inside out in cold water and avoiding high heat—will help maximize the life of the print.
When applied correctly using professional equipment and high-quality materials, DTF transfers are resistant to cracking and peeling. Over time, all printed apparel will experience normal wear, but proper application and garment care greatly reduce the likelihood of premature cracking or peeling.

Embroidery requires a digitized embroidery file rather than a standard image file. If you already have an embroidery file (such as DST or EMB), we can typically use it. If not, most logos can be digitized from a high-quality AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF vector file. If you only have a JPG or PNG, we can usually work with it, although additional artwork preparation or digitizing may be required.
