UV DTF Transfers by Size: How to Order Custom Decals With No Minimum

UV DTF decals are the fastest way to put a full-color logo or design on tumblers, glass, mugs, metal and other hard surfaces. No heat press, no weeding, no transfer tape: peel, stick, rub, peel. This guide explains how our UV DTF Transfers by Size page works, what it costs and how to get the best result.

Who orders UV DTF by size

  • Small businesses labeling candles, jars, cosmetics, water bottles and packaging.
  • Tumbler and cup makers who want crisp, repeatable logos without a Cricut.
  • Shops, teams and events branding equipment, coolers, laptops and signage.
  • Anyone who needs one decal, or one hundred of the same decal, without buying a full sheet.

How to order, step by step

  1. Open UV DTF Transfers by Size.
  2. Upload your artwork. PNG with a transparent background gives the cleanest edges; SVG, PDF, AI, EPS, PSD and JPG are also accepted.
  3. Type the width or height you want. The uploader keeps the proportions and shows the final size.
  4. Set the quantity for that design, then upload the next design if you have more. Every design can have its own size and quantity.
  5. Check the total, add to cart and check out. Orders placed by 2 PM ET on a business day ship the same day.

What it costs

UV DTF is priced by area, about 12¢ per square inch (a UV DTF gang sheet, at $2.00 per inch of a 22-inch-wide sheet, works out to about 9.1¢ per square inch). There is no minimum order and no setup fee. As a guide:

  • A 2.5 × 1.5 in logo decal is about $0.45 each.
  • A 3.5 × 2 in label is about $0.84 each.
  • A 4 × 4 in design is about $1.92 each.

Orders of $120 or more ship free in the US. If you want many different designs packed tightly on one film, the UV DTF Gang Sheet Builder is usually cheaper per design; for 16 oz, 20 oz and 40 oz tumblers, see our pre-sized cup wraps.

Artwork tips for sharp decals

  • Export at 300 DPI at the final size. A 1-inch logo exported at 300 px wide prints cleanly; a screenshot does not.
  • Keep lines and text at least 1 mm (about 0.04 in) thick. Hairlines and tiny serif text can break when the film is peeled.
  • Avoid large areas of semi-transparent color; UV DTF prints solid ink best.
  • Do not mirror the file. We print it exactly as you upload it.
  • Check spelling and colors before you order; custom prints are final sale.

Applying your decals

  1. Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and let it dry.
  2. Peel the decal off the backing paper.
  3. Position it and rub firmly with a squeegee, card or your thumb, especially on edges.
  4. Peel the clear top film away slowly at a low angle.
  5. Let it set for 24 hours before washing. Hand wash; skip the dishwasher.
