Getting the size right is the difference between a clean, balanced print and a wasted sheet. This DTF transfer size chart shows recommended print sizes for shirts and more, by placement, by garment size and by item, so you can match your artwork to the garment before you order. Sizes are starting points; you can order any custom size, with no minimum order.

A DTF transfer size chart matches your print size to the garment. As a guide, a full adult front or back is about 10 to 12 inches wide, a left chest or pocket logo about 3.5 to 4 inches, a sleeve about 3.5 inches, and youth prints about 7 to 8 inches. Scale your design to the width first, then order any custom size, with no minimum.

How to choose your DTF transfer size

  1. Pick the placement: full front, left chest, sleeve or full back.
  2. Match the wearer's size: youth about 7 to 8 inches wide, adult full front or back about 10 to 12 inches.
  3. Measure the garment and mark where the print will sit.
  4. Set your artwork to that width, then order any custom size, with no minimum.

DTF size FAQ

What size should DTF transfers be?
It depends on the placement and the garment. As a guide, an adult full front or back is about 10 to 12 inches wide, a left chest or pocket logo about 3.5 to 4 inches, youth prints about 7 to 8 inches, and a sleeve about 3.5 inches. You can order any custom size, with no minimum.
What size DTF transfer do I need for an adult shirt?
About 10 to 12 inches wide for a full front or back on most adult sizes. Use about 10 to 11 inches for S to M and up to 12 inches for L through 2XL. A left chest logo is about 3.5 to 4 inches.
What size DTF for a youth shirt?
About 7 inches wide for youth S to M and about 8 inches for youth L. For baby and toddler, about 5 inches.
What size is a pocket or left chest DTF print?
A pocket print is about 4 x 4 inches and a left chest logo is about 3.5 to 4 inches wide.
What size DTF transfer goes on a sleeve?
A sleeve print is small, about 3.5 x 3.5 inches, so it sits neatly on a short sleeve.
What size DTF for a hat?
About 3 to 4 inches wide so it fits the front panel of a cap.
What size UV DTF for a cup or tumbler?
For a full wrap the height matches the cup, roughly 9 inches tall, with the width set by the way around: about 9.3 x 4 inches for a 16 oz can glass and about 9.3 x 5 inches for a 20 oz tumbler. A single decal of about 3 to 5 inches works on most cups.
How do I apply a DTF transfer?
Press at about 320°F for cotton or 280°F for polyester for 8 to 10 seconds with medium to firm pressure, then peel hot, warm or cold to suit your workflow and press again for 5 to 10 seconds to lock in the color. Applied this way, prints stay bright and flexible for 50+ washes.
Can I download the size chart as a PDF?
Yes. Use the Download PDF button to save a printable DTF transfer size chart.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order one transfer or thousands, in any size, printed in the USA with free US shipping over $75.
