Why Canadian Businesses Choose Kode Garment for DTF Printing
No minimums. Order one piece or one thousand. DTF transfers are produced individually so there’s no setup cost driving a minimum order requirement. Perfect for sample orders, small runs, and businesses that need flexibility.
Works on virtually any fabric. Cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, denim, and more. DTF adheres to materials that other decoration methods struggle with — including performance fabrics and dark garments.
Full colour at no extra cost. Gradients, shadows, fine lines, and photographic imagery — all included at the same price as a single-colour design. No per-colour charges, no simplified artwork requirements.
7 to 10 business day turnaround. Standard production at Kode Garment is 7 to 10 business days from proof approval. Rush turnaround may be available — ask us at the quote stage.
Consistent reorders. We save your artwork files, placement specs, and garment details so every reorder matches the original. Your tenth order is as easy as your first.
File review before production. Every artwork file is checked before production starts. If something is low resolution, the wrong size, or won’t print cleanly — we tell you before it becomes a problem.

DTF Pricing
DTF pricing depends on print size, quantity, and the garment being decorated. Here’s a general framework:
Small prints (left chest, 3–4 inches) — most affordable, ideal for workwear and branded apparel
Medium prints (full front, 10–12 inches) — standard pricing, works for most orders
Large prints (oversized, 14+ inches) — higher transfer cost, still competitive for full-colour designs
Quantity reduces your per-unit cost — larger runs mean lower cost per piece on both the transfer and the garment. The best way to get accurate pricing is to send your design, quantity, and garment preference for a quote.
Price for DTF starts at $.06 a square inch.
What is DTF Printing?
Direct-to-Film (DTF) is the latest cutting edge printing technology that seamlessly integrates a direct-to-film printer to produce heat transfer decals that are printed onto a transfer film allowing anyone to heat apply to a garment with a heat press.
How durable is DTF printing?
DTF prints are highly durable when applied correctly. They’re wash-resistant, flexible, and won’t crack or peel under normal use and washing conditions. Washing inside-out in cold water extends the life of any decorated garment.
Can you print on dark garments?
Yes. DTF uses a white ink underbase that ensures colours stay vibrant on dark and black fabrics — something direct-to-garment printing often struggles with.
What’s the minimum order for DTF printing?
There is no minimum order for DTF transfers. You can order a single piece or a thousand — the per-unit cost adjusts with quantity.
Do you supply the garments or do I?
Both options are available. We can source blanks from our catalogue of 50 brands and 1,800+ styles, or you can supply your own blanks if you have a preferred garment. Up-charge will apply for your own preferred garment..
How long does DTF printing take?
Standard production is 7 to 10 business days from proof approval. Rush turnaround may be available — ask us when you request a quote.
Do you ship DTF printed garments across Canada?
Yes. Kode Garment ships finished orders Canada-wide — from Vancouver to Nunavut to Halifax. Local pickup is available from our Newmarket showroom by appointment.
Can I see a proof before production starts?
Yes — always. Every order includes a digital proof for your approval before a single transfer is produced. Production does not start until you approve the proof.
