Selling UV DTF sticker sheets

What a UV DTF sticker is

The design is printed with UV-cured ink and adhesive onto a film, then covered with a clear transfer film. Your customer rubs the design onto a hard, smooth surface, such as a cup, a glass bottle or a phone case, and peels the transfer film away. No heat press is needed.

Shops sell UV DTF the same way as DTF: as a gang sheet, with many designs on one sheet. The customer cuts each design out with a small margin before applying it.

Sheet widths and sizes

UV DTF sheets vary more in width than DTF film. Set your builder to the sheet you or your printer actually print.

• UK: widths from 280 mm to 590 mm. 560 mm is the width used by 5 of 14 printers, and 9 of 14 sell fixed sheet sizes only.
• US: widths from 279 mm to 597 mm. 559 mm is the width used by 64 of 82 printers, and all 82 sell fixed sheet sizes only.

Letting customers choose the size and number of stickers

Sticker shops often want customers to pick a size, such as 7.5 × 7.5 cm, and a number, such as 50, and to type their own size when the list does not fit. On a gang sheet this needs no extra set-up: the customer sets each design's size and number of copies, and the sheet length follows from the layout. You sell the sheet, so there is no variant for every size and quantity.

If you sell fixed sheet sizes instead, show how many copies of the customer's design fit on each size before they choose one.

Files, spacing and cut lines

The file is a PNG with a transparent background at 300 DPI, the same as for DTF. Leave a gap between designs so each one can be cut out with its margin. Our sticker sheets and cut lines guide has the margin and spacing figures, and which file to send.

An app for the builder

Layout Foundry Gang Sheets, our Shopify app, works for UV DTF and sticker sheets as well as DTF. You set the sheet width and how the sheet is sold, and the print file arrives on each order. It is on our page for shops.
