DTF Transfers in Upstate New York
Whether you run a craft fair booth, coach a rec league or manage a taproom, you need transfers you can count on. You also need a shop with a clear reprint-or-refund promise if anything arrives misprinted, damaged or wrong.
DTF Sirius is a DTF transfer and custom products company based in Upstate New York, providing custom DTF transfers for Upstate NY businesses, makers and groups. There is no minimum order, and you can build a gang sheet right in your browser. Orders placed by 2 PM ET on business days ship the same day.
Custom DTF Transfers in Upstate NY
DTF (direct-to-film) transfers heat press onto cotton and polyester apparel and totes. UV DTF transfers are peel-and-stick decals for clean, dry, smooth hard surfaces like glass, metal, ceramic, hard plastic and sealed wood, not fabric. With every order, you can count on:
- Your artwork printed exactly as you submit it, with no surprise edits.
- File guidance that helps your prints come out right: 300 DPI and a transparent PNG are recommended, and you should not mirror your design.
- Real answers from our team at info@dtfsirius.com.
DTF Transfer Ideas for Upstate NY Businesses and Groups
College Towns in Central New York and the Southern Tier
Student clubs, intramural teams, residence halls and campus event committees often need small, mixed runs: a club logo, an event date and a few different sizes at once. A DTF gang sheet lets you fit all of it on one sheet and press only what you need. Orders placed by 2 PM ET on business days ship the same day, so plan your event date with shipping in mind. Because we print artwork exactly as submitted, get final sign-off from your group before you upload.
Craft Fairs and Farmers Markets
Seasonal designs sell differently at a fall festival than at a summer market. Order a small batch, see what sells, and reorder when you need more. Pair pressed tees and totes with UV DTF stickers for mason jars, tumblers, ceramic mugs and other hard goods. They apply by hand, so you do not need a heat press for that part of your table.
Orchards, Farm Stands and Harvest Weekends
Orchards, pick-your-own farms and farm stands in the Hudson Valley, the Finger Lakes and farm country across the state can turn a harvest-season visit into something people take home. Matching crew shirts help visitors spot who to ask for help on a busy weekend. Printed totes work for carrying produce and baked goods home, and UV DTF decals can brand the glass jars you already sell jam or honey in.
Wineries, Cideries and Breweries
Tasting rooms in the Finger Lakes and the Hudson Valley, and taprooms anywhere in the state, can use DTF for staff shirts, sweatshirts and merch-shelf totes. Our finished custom mugs and 40 oz travel mug round out the shelf. For branded glassware, point UV DTF at retail and gift pieces your customers take home rather than the glasses you pour with (see the FAQ below), and keep a small care card at the register.
Lake-Town Gift and Souvenir Shops
Gift shops in lake towns, from the Finger Lakes to the Adirondacks and the Thousand Islands, can refresh designs from one tourist season to the next without committing to a big print run. Put a town name or a lake outline on tees, hoodies and totes, and offer finished infant bodysuits for visiting families. UV DTF decals add the same design to mugs, tumblers and sealed wood signs.
Winter Carnivals and Outdoor Events in the North Country
In the North Country and the Adirondacks, winter carnivals, ski-club fundraisers, snowshoe races and ice-fishing derbies all need volunteer shirts and something for participants to buy. Press your event logo onto cotton or polyester hoodies and sweatshirts, and add the year so each edition becomes its own keepsake. Committees without a heat press can order finished sweatshirts, totes and travel mugs instead.
Village and Town Rec Leagues
Village and town rec programs juggle youth soccer, rec softball, bowling and pickleball leagues from season to season. Put team names, sponsor logos and player numbers on DTF transfers and press them onto cotton or polyester jerseys. Order transfers by size for a single sponsor logo, or a gang sheet for a whole roster. Groups without a heat press can also order finished custom tees and sweatshirts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you ship to every part of Upstate New York?
Yes. We ship to every Upstate region, from Western New York and the Southern Tier to the Capital Region and the North Country. If you are ordering for a fixed date, such as a harvest festival or a season opener, order early enough to allow for shipping.
I sell at seasonal craft fairs and farmers markets. Can I order small batches for each season?
Yes. There is no minimum order, so you can build a gang sheet with this season's designs or order transfers by size for just one or two.
Can our rec league fit a full roster of names and numbers on one gang sheet?
Yes. Gang sheets are 22 inches wide and can run from 12 to 240 inches long, so you can size the sheet to fit your roster. We print exactly what you submit, so proofread every name and number before you order.
Can I put UV DTF decals on mason jars or glass items for my farm stand or gift shop?
Yes. UV DTF applies by hand to clean, dry, smooth hard surfaces like glass, ceramic and metal. Let it set for 24 hours, and let customers know to hand wash and avoid the dishwasher and soaking.
Can I use UV DTF on glassware for my brewery or winery?
Yes, for merch and gift glassware your customers take home and hand wash. UV DTF is hand wash only, so it is not a fit for service glassware that goes through a dishwasher.
Our winter carnival committee does not own a heat press. What are our options?
You can order finished tees, sweatshirts, totes, mugs or a 40 oz travel mug from our custom products collection. UV DTF decals are another option for hard goods, since they apply by hand.
What if my transfers arrive damaged or misprinted?
Email photos to info@dtfsirius.com within 7 days of delivery and we will reprint or refund your order. The same goes for a wrong item.
