What Are UV DTF Stickers?<\/h2>\n

UV DTF (Ultraviolet Direct to Film) is a printing process where your design is printed onto a special film using UV-cured inks, then transferred directly onto a hard surface \u2014 no heat press, no special tools.<\/p>\n

The result is a full-colour, slightly raised print that applied to the surface on an item. <\/p>\n\n \n

What Surfaces Does It Work On?<\/h2>\n

UV DTF stickers adhere well to smooth, non-porous hard surfaces including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Glass and ceramic<\/li>\n
  • Metal and stainless steel<\/li>\n
  • Acrylic and perspex<\/li>\n
  • Hard plastic<\/li>\n
  • Coated wood<\/li>\n
  • Phone cases, mugs, tumblers, bottles and more<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n

    \u26a0 Not suitable for fabric, soft surfaces, or heavily textured surfaces.<\/p>\n\n \n

    Common Uses<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Corporate gifts and branded merchandise<\/li>\n
    • Product labelling and packaging decoration<\/li>\n
    • Promotional items and event giveaways<\/li>\n
    • Custom crafts and personalised gifts<\/li>\n
    • Logo branding on bottles, mugs and trophies<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n \n

      Artwork Requirements<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • PNG<\/strong> \u2014 transparent background, 300 DPI minimum<\/li>\n
      • Submit your sheet at 280mm x 1000mm<\/strong> <\/li>\n
      • Leave a 5 mm border<\/strong> around all edges \u2014 designs too close to the edge will get cut off when printed.<\/li>\n
      • Minimum line thickness is 2 mm<\/strong> \u2014 finer details will not print or transfer correctly.<\/li>\n
      • Use CMYK colour mode<\/strong> \u2014 convert text to outlines if submitting vector files<\/li>\n
      • Gradients or semi-transparent pixels will not print correctly<\/strong> \u2014 use solid colours only.<\/li>\n \n <\/ul>\n

        You can arrange multiple designs on a single sheet to maximise your print area.<\/p>\n\n \n

        How to Apply Your UV DTF Sticker<\/h2>\n\n
        \n\n
        \n
        1<\/div>\n
        \n Clean the surface<\/strong>\n

        Wash with soap and water. Dry completely before applying. Do not use alcohol-based cleaners \u2014 they will damage the adhesive and resin.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

        \n
        2<\/div>\n
        \n Cut out your design<\/strong>\n

        Cut around your design, leaving a small border. Peel the backing film to expose the adhesive side.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

        \n
        3<\/div>\n
        \n Position and press<\/strong>\n

        Place the design onto the surface. Press firmly from the centre outward using your fingers or a squeegee for 20\u201330 seconds. Make sure all edges are fully bonded.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

        \n
        4<\/div>\n
        \n Peel the top film<\/strong>\n

        Slowly peel back the clear transfer film at a low angle. If any part lifts, press it back down and wait a few seconds before trying again.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

        \n
        5<\/div>\n
        \n Final press<\/strong>\n

        Once the film is removed, press over the design once more with your fingers to ensure full adhesion. The bond strengthens fully within 24 hours.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

        Care & Limitations<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Clean applied stickers with soap and water only<\/strong> \u2014 no alcohol-based products<\/li>\n
        • Not dishwasher safe<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Apply once only \u2014 repositioning weakens the adhesive<\/li>\n
        • Use within one month of receiving<\/strong> your order for best adhesion<\/li>\n
        • Store flat, away from heat and direct sunlight<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n

          For best results, apply to smooth surfaces in a clean, dry environment at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
