Full control over your layout
You decide spacing, nesting, and orientation. Nothing is rearranged or resized on our end, so what you proof is what you receive.
No heat, no equipment
No heat press, no cutting machine, no weeding, no transfer tape. A squeegee or a credit card is the only tool involved.
True UV-cured color
Cured instantly with UV light rather than heat, producing rich, opaque color with a subtle raised texture.
Opaque on dark, clear, and metallic surfaces
A white ink underbase keeps designs vivid instead of going muted or translucent.
Waterproof and scratch-resistant
Once cured, the finish resists water, condensation, and daily handling.
Because you are supplying the full layout, file accuracy matters more here than anywhere else. Artwork is printed exactly as submitted.

No heat. No tools beyond a squeegee or a credit card.
- Clean the surface with 90% isopropyl alcohol and let it air dry. This is the number one cause of stickers lifting later.
- Burnish before you separate.
- Separate the clear carrier from the white backing, bringing the design with it.
- Position and smooth from the center outward.
- Burnish again, then peel the carrier film slowly at a low, sharp angle. Do not pull straight up.
- Cure 24–48 hours before washing.
Hand wash only. Not dishwasher safe. Avoid abrasive sponges and heated surfaces. Applied correctly to a clean surface, stickers resist water, fading, and everyday wear for years.

Covered: print defects, wrong size or design, transit damage, and adhesive failure on a correctly prepared surface.
Not covered: application to an uncleaned surface, application to unsuitable surfaces such as fabric, silicone, or porous materials, and dishwasher damage.
Because you supplied the layout, issues caused by the file itself — insufficient spacing, designs too close to the edge, low resolution, or a non-transparent background — are not covered.
Because all UV DTF transfers are custom printed, returns and exchanges are not accepted for change of mind.

Upload UV DTF Gang Sheets from Your Own Templates
For tumbler, cup, and glassware businesses, the fastest workflow is a master template for each product you decorate, such as a 20 oz skinny tumbler, a 16 oz glass can, or a 40 oz tumbler, with the decal area marked. Drop new art into the right template, lay out your sheet, and upload. Every decal comes back sized for the item it was designed for, and reorders take minutes.
Setting Up a Template
Measure the usable decal area on each product once, between the rim and where the base starts to taper, and put those dimensions in the template's file name, for example 20oz-skinny_3.25x4in.ai. Anyone on your team can then pick the right template without re-measuring.
Who Uploads UV DTF
Uploading also suits resellers who restock the same decal sheets on a schedule, designers who hand-nest full wraps and odd shapes to use every inch of film, and print shops sending client-approved layouts.
Restock Before Busy Seasons
Teacher appreciation week, graduation, Mother's Day, and the holidays drive the biggest drinkware rushes. Preparing your best-selling sheets a few weeks early means you can upload as soon as orders come in.

FAQ
Frequently Asked QuestionsNo. Files are printed exactly as submitted. We will contact you if we spot a problem before printing, but that is a courtesy and not a guarantee, and issues caused by the file itself are not covered. If you would rather we handle layout, use Build UV DTF Gang Sheet instead.
At least 0.25" between designs and 0.25" inside the sheet edge, so they cut apart cleanly.
No. UV DTF requires no heat at all — no heat press, no iron, no cutting machine. You apply it by hand with a squeegee or a credit card. Never put a UV DTF transfer in a heat press.
No. UV DTF is waterproof and scratch-resistant once cured, but dishwasher heat and detergent break down the adhesive over time. Hand wash decorated items and avoid abrasive sponges.
PDF and AI are preferred because vector files keep edges sharp at any size; outline all fonts before exporting. EPS and SVG also work. For raster art, use PNG with a transparent background at 300 DPI at final print size. JPG is accepted but not recommended because it can't hold transparency, so the background prints.
No. Order a single sheet or as many as you need — no minimums, no setup fees. Volume discounts apply automatically at checkout.
