💰 How can bulk DTF transfer purchases save money? +

Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days and include detailed application instructions, sizing recommendations, and care guidelines.

Use our academic planning calendar to coordinate orders with school events and graduation schedules.
📋 How do DTF transfer formats affect pricing and usage? +
Individual transfer sheets work well for small quantities, while gang sheets provide better value for larger orders by combining multiple designs on one sheet. Educational institutions often benefit from gang sheet formats when outfitting entire classes or creating diverse recognition merchandise. You can cut individual designs from gang sheets as needed, making them perfect for varied academic applications. Learn optimal sizing with our DTF sizing guide.

For graduation ceremonies, use 9"x11" to 12"x14" transfers for prominent designs, or 6"x8" to 9"x11" for subtle recognition pieces. Download our alignment ruler for perfect placement.
