FastDTF: trade DTF and UV DTF transfers printed in the UK

FastDTF produces direct-to-film (DTF) transfers for textiles and UV DTF transfers for hard surfaces, aimed at trade customers and studios that need printed sheets quickly. The company presents itself as a UK DTF supplier and sells through its own online shop, where orders can be placed by uploading artwork or by using a built-in builder.

Pricing starts at £5.95 per metre for DTF, and the shop states that there are no minimums. The site lists a same-day dispatch cut-off, and the company describes most orders as produced and shipped within 24 to 48 hours depending on volume, with express options for urgent work.

Two transfer lines: textiles and hard surfaces

The catalogue is organised around two product families, each with its own application method.

• Fast Standard DTF: transfers intended for clothing prints, applied with a heat press.
• Fast UV DTF: peel-and-stick transfers printed with UV ink for hard, smooth surfaces, requiring no heat.

Both lines are offered alongside a free sample option, and the site also references a 9-colour DTF printer and a 4-colour printer in its navigation.

Standard DTF: fabrics and pressing

Standard DTF transfers are printed onto film and then heat-pressed onto fabric. According to the site, they work on cotton, polyester, tri-blends, nylon in most cases, and both dark and light garments. The company states that no pre-treatment and no weeding are needed, only a heat press.

The film is described as a hot-peel product with a very short press time; the site presents it as a 5-second press in its main product messaging and as a 3-second press in its FAQ section. FastDTF claims this short cycle can speed up production workflows considerably. Prints are described as offering stretch, wash resistance and resistance to cracking or fading when applied correctly.

UV DTF: stickers for hard surfaces

UV DTF is presented as a peel-and-stick method for rigid and smooth materials. The listed surfaces include glass, plastic, wood, metal, acrylic, ceramics, tumblers, cups and packaging. Application requires no heat: the backing is peeled, the transfer applied and rubbed down firmly, and the film removed.

The company describes the UV-cured ink finish as glossy and resistant to water, scratching and fading, and states that it is suitable for outdoor items because of its weather resistance.

Ordering, formats and turnaround

Customers can upload ready-made gang sheets, choose a sheet size or order custom rolls, and the company says it prints to the customer's specifications. An online builder is available for preparing artwork directly on the site. The shop also offers a newsletter sign-up that issues a 10% voucher for a first order over £50.

On delivery, FastDTF emphasises rapid processing and consistent output across repeat orders, and states that express options exist for rush jobs. The site lists the United Kingdom, Guernsey, Isle of Man and Jersey as shipping regions with prices in pounds sterling.

Who the service is aimed at

The material positions the transfers for both large businesses and beginners, stressing that the films are easy to press and designed for consistent results. The published customer comments come from studio users who highlight the short press time and hot peel as the main gains in their production workflow.
