DTF Transfer Size Guide
Ready-to-press sizes
Which transfer size fits which garment?
Every ready-to-press design comes in nine sizes. Width is the measurement that matters — height follows the artwork's proportions.
| Transfer width | Garment | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 3" | Hats & beanies | Left-chest logos and cap fronts. |
| 4" | Infant | Onesies and infant tees. |
| 6" | Toddler | Toddler tees; also pocket prints on adult garments. |
| 8" | Youth S-M | Youth small and medium front prints. |
| 9" | Youth L-XL | Larger youth sizes. |
| 10" | Adult S-M | Standard adult front print. |
| 11" | Adult L-XL | Full-front on larger adult tees. |
| 12" | Adult 2XL | Keeps proportions on bigger garments. |
| 13" | Adult 3XL | The largest standard ready-to-press size. |
Custom sizes from 1" to 22" are available on the Custom DTF by Size product.
Custom sizing
Sizing a custom transfer
Ordering by size? Three steps to the right number.
-
Measure the print area
Lay the garment flat and measure the printable width where the design will sit — chest seam to chest seam is the usual reference.
-
Pick the width, not the height
Choose the transfer width that fits that area. Height scales automatically with your artwork's proportions.
-
When in doubt, size down
A slightly smaller print centered well looks intentional. An oversized print running into seams doesn't.
Common questions
Size questions
What's the biggest transfer I can order?
Single transfers go up to 22" — the full width of our film. Beyond that, gang sheets run from 22"×24" up to 22"×240" (20 feet).
Do sleeve and pocket prints have standard sizes?
Sleeve prints typically run 2"-4" wide and pocket prints around 3"-4". Order those through Custom DTF by Size at the exact width you need.
Which size should I stock for resale?
The 10" and 11" adult sizes cover the bulk of adult tees. Shops running youth programs usually add 8" and 9".
Is the height of my transfer fixed?
No — height follows your artwork's aspect ratio at the width you choose. A square logo at 10" wide is 10" tall; a wide wordmark is much shorter.
