DTF ATL Trade for screen printers

Planning overflow apparel work
with DTF transfers

When your shop is planning overflow work, an equipment interruption, or a mixed apparel order, start with the work you can define. List the transfer requirements and the pressing and fulfillment work your team will handle before committing a customer date.

ILLUSTRATIVE JOB EXAMPLE
One left-chest logo
and two back designs

A fictional print shop is considering transfers for an order with one left-chest logo and two back designs. It lists the final dimensions and quantities for each placement, identifies the version its customer approved, and assigns testing, pressing, and inspection. Before making a customer commitment, the shop still needs to check the intended product, file requirements, fulfillment route, and current timing. This is a planning example, not a completed job or a promised outcome.

Three situations
to plan for

DTF ATL Trade offers a transfer supply option for professional apparel work using eligible Premium Same Day DTF Transfers.

01

Overflow jobs

Separate the transfer portion from the rest of the order. Identify which designs and quantities need an outside source, who will press them, and what time your team needs for testing and inspection. Check current production availability before relying on that route.

02

Equipment downtime

Write down which production step is unavailable and which steps your shop can still complete. Confirm that you have a workable pressing plan before considering a transfer order. An equipment interruption does not establish rush availability.

03

Mixed apparel orders

List each design size, placement, and quantity separately. Decide whether you are preparing individual design files for a builder or a completed gang sheet. Check that the intended layout accounts for every variation before ordering.

Before you
commit the job

Use these questions to prepare a job and decide whether to explore the program.

01

Which artwork version did your customer approve?

Open that file at final size. Inspect edges, small type, and thin lines; remove mockup layers and unused artboards.

02

Are the dimensions, placements, and quantities clear for every design and variation?

Check those details against the job you intend to order.

03

Are you using separate design files or a completed gang sheet?

For a completed sheet, check the selected sheet size and whether the file is ready to print as submitted.

04

Who will press and inspect the garments?

Review the current product instructions and plan a small test on the intended material before a full run.

05

Will you use pickup or shipping?

Allow separately for your pressing work and any carrier transit time. Confirm current order timing before promising a customer date.
