DTF transfer pricing is refreshingly simple: you pay by size and quantity — never by the number of colors. A full-color photo costs the same to print as a one-color logo.
What drives the price
- Size — bigger transfers use more film and ink, so they cost more.
- Quantity — the more you order, the lower the price per transfer (volume discounts).
- Pre-cut — optional individually-cut transfers add $0.15 each.
There are no setup fees and no per-color charges — two things that make DTF much cheaper than screen printing for small, colorful runs.
Roughly what to expect
Small transfers start as low as ~$0.30–$0.40 per transfer at higher volumes, scaling up with size. Larger full-back sizes cost more per piece but still carry volume discounts. The exact price for every size and quantity tier is listed on each size page.

How to get the lowest cost per transfer
- Order in volume — price per transfer drops at each quantity tier.
- Right-size your design — don’t pay for a bigger transfer than you need (sizing guide).
- Skip pre-cut if you’re comfortable trimming transfers yourself.
