DTF printing in NYC can be as simple as ordering online and pressing on your own schedule. DTF Sirius is an online store that ships across the US, with DTF and UV DTF transfers delivered to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island.
A streetwear label in Brooklyn is prepping its next drop, and a Midtown agency is planning giveaway shirts for a product launch. A Queens cafe wants matching staff tees, and a Bronx production crew needs names on its shirts. There is no minimum order, so you can test a single design or produce a full collection.

How to order DTF transfers from NYC: three steps
- Upload. Place several designs on one 22-inch-wide sheet in the DTF Gang Sheet Builder, send a finished layout through Upload DTF Gang Sheet, or set one design's size and quantity in DTF Transfers by Size. The price shows before you add to cart.
- Check out by 2 PM ET. No proof approval, no phone call; we print the file exactly as submitted, so check spelling and sizes first.
- Press when it arrives. The package ships the same business day with tracking and typically reaches the city in 1–2 business days. Press at 315–325°F for 6–12 seconds with medium-firm pressure and peel hot.
Our Quality Promise to NYC Businesses
We want New York businesses to come back because the work was right and the policies were clear. We print your artwork exactly as submitted, with no edits, so what you upload is what we print.
If an order arrives misprinted, damaged or with the wrong items, email photos to info@dtfsirius.com within 7 days of delivery and we will reprint or refund it. Custom-printed items are otherwise final sale, and unopened inks can be returned within 30 days. Read the full refund policy for details.
Before You Order: A Quick NYC Checklist
Getting the file right the first time saves you a redo, which matters when a drop, launch or event date is fixed. Check these before you check out:
- Use a transparent PNG at 300 DPI if you can. We also accept JPG, SVG, PDF, PSD, AI and EPS.
- Do not mirror your design.
- Check every spelling, name, number and size before you upload.
- Pick the right format: a gang sheet for many designs or names, transfers by size for a set quantity of one design.
Our guide on preparing artwork for a DTF gang sheet covers the details.
Who We Print For Across the Five Boroughs
Streetwear and Clothing Brands
Independent labels from Bushwick to the Lower East Side often work in small batches: a limited drop, a restock of one colorway, a sample run before a pop-up. Our DTF Gang Sheet Builder lets you put front prints, back hits and sleeve details on one sheet in a single order.
DTF transfers work on both cotton and polyester, so one design can move across tees, hoodies and performance pieces. Planning regular drops? See wholesale DTF transfers.
Pop-Ups, Sample Sales and Event Merch
Brand activations, sample sales, conferences, charity walks, block parties and weekend markets all need merch that matches the event artwork. Choose DTF Transfers by Size when you need a set quantity of one design, or use Upload DTF Gang Sheet if your designer has already built a print-ready layout.
For giveaways beyond apparel, UV DTF Transfers by Size apply to metal water bottles, glass jars and other smooth, hard surfaces.
Restaurants, Cafes and Bars
Staff shirts help guests spot your team and make a small business look polished. Whether you run a pizzeria on Staten Island, a coffee bar in Astoria or a cocktail room in the West Village, you can press your logo onto crew tees and sweatshirts in the back office.
UV DTF decals can carry the same logo onto display pieces around the counter. The questions below cover which items work well and how to care for them.
Production Crews, Agencies and Nightlife
Film and photo shoots, creative agencies and event staffing teams often want matching crew shirts, sometimes with each person's name on the back. Lay out every name on one 22-inch-wide sheet in the DTF Gang Sheet Builder, and proofread every spelling before you check out.
Musicians, DJs and nightlife venues can pair merch tees with stickers and patches for the merch table. Stick to original artwork you have the rights to use.
Creators and Online Sellers
If you sell online through your own store or a marketplace, from a Harlem apartment or a shared studio in Long Island City, flexibility matters. A gang sheet lets you mix many small designs in one order, so you can test new ideas without committing to large runs.
Add Custom UV Raised Patches and Custom Printed Patches as package inserts or bundle extras, and browse our UV DTF stickers for hard phone cases, laptops and tumblers.
Screen Printers and Embroidery Shops
Shops in the Garment District, Queens, Brooklyn and on Long Island send us the jobs that are not worth burning screens for: short runs, six-color artwork, names and numbers, and one-off reprints. Send your own layout through Upload DTF Gang Sheet and press it on your existing equipment. Volume pricing is available by email for 50 or more sheets a month; see bulk DTF transfers.
Pick the Right Product for Your NYC Project
For apparel, start with DTF transfers. For glass, metal, ceramic, hard plastic and sealed wood, choose UV DTF through the UV DTF Gang Sheet Builder or Upload UV DTF Gang Sheet; UV DTF is not made for fabric.
You can also order finished apparel and drinkware with your design, or 1 kg DTF inks if you run your own DTF printer. Not sure which fits? Read our DTF vs UV DTF guide.
DTF transfers vs screen printing vs HTV for a city brand
| DTF transfers | Screen printing | Heat transfer vinyl | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | None; upload and order | Screens per color, usually a run minimum | Cut and weed each layer |
| Full color and photos | Yes, one price | Each color costs more | One color per layer |
| Small drops and samples | No minimum | Rarely worth it under a few dozen | Fine, slow by hand |
| Space needed | A heat press on a table | A print shop | A cutter and a press |
| Turnaround from order | Ships same day by 2 PM ET, in the city in 1–2 days | Depends on the shop's queue | As fast as you can weed |
Ordering, Shipping and Pressing
Build or upload your order online, then check out with Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Amex or Discover. We print and ship your order. Free Economy shipping is available on qualifying orders; see our shipping policy for details.

NYC Order Questions
Can I plan a pop-up or streetwear drop around your ship dates?
Yes. Gang sheet and transfer orders placed by 2 PM ET on business days (Monday through Friday, excluding US federal holidays) ship the same day, and later orders ship the next business day. Custom apparel and merch ship in 3–5 business days. Work back from your drop date, leave room for delivery and review the shipping options at checkout.
Can I order a small sample run before a drop?
Yes. Since there is no minimum order, you can order a few transfers of a new design, press samples and check size and placement before you commit to the full run.
Should my restaurant or bar order finished staff shirts or press its own?
If you do not have a heat press, order finished custom tees and sweatshirts with your design. If you already press in-house or want to add your logo to shirts you own, order DTF transfers and press them yourself.
Which UV DTF items make sense for a cafe or bar counter?
UV DTF works well on tip jars, sealed wood signs, hard-plastic menu holders and retail merch mugs or bottles that will be hand washed. It is not suited to service ware that goes through a dishwasher or soaks. Apply each decal to a clean, dry, smooth surface and let it set for 24 hours.
What do I need to press DTF transfers in a small studio?
A heat press. Set it to 315–325°F with medium-firm pressure, press for 6–12 seconds and peel the film while it is still hot. DTF works on cotton and polyester.
Can you ship to a stockist or partner outside the US?
No. We ship to addresses within the US only, including all five boroughs.
Do you offer same-day DTF transfers in NYC?
Orders placed by 2 PM ET Monday through Friday ship the same day with tracking and typically arrive in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island in 1–2 business days. There is no pickup counter in the city. Details by borough are on same-day DTF transfers NYC.
How much do DTF transfers cost for an NYC order?
Gang sheets are $0.75 per inch of a 22-inch-wide sheet, about 3.4¢ per square inch (22 × 12 is $9, 22 × 60 is $45). Transfers by size are about 4¢ per square inch and UV DTF gang sheets are $3.00 per inch. No minimum, and shipping is free on orders of $120 or more. See DTF gang sheet pricing.
Do you have a pickup location in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens?
No. DTF Sirius is online only, and every order ships with tracking. For most city addresses the package arrives the next business day or the day after, without a trip across town.
Do you print trademarked logos or characters?
Only with permission. We print your file as submitted, so please send artwork you own or have the right to use.
Outside the City?
We also serve other regions: DTF transfers across New York State, more New York cities and New Jersey.
