How do you apply UV DTF stickers?
UV DTF stickers are applied by hand with pressure, with no heat press involved. They bond to hard, smooth surfaces such as glass, metal, plastic, ceramic and sealed wood. They are not made for fabric.
Applying a UV DTF sticker
- Clean the surface and let it dry fully. Dust, oil and moisture stop the adhesive from bonding.
- Cut the sticker from the sheet and peel off the backing film.
- Position the sticker, then press firmly from the center outward to push out any air.
- Peel the clear carrier film back slowly at a low angle. If part of the design lifts, lay the film back down and press that area again.
Apply one test piece before running a full batch, since curved and textured surfaces behave differently.
Artwork checklist
- PNG with a transparent background gives the cleanest edge. JPG and SVG are also accepted.
- Build files at 300 DPI at the final sticker size.
- Unlimited colors and gradients, with no per-color charges.
- Maximum sticker width is 22 in. Longer designs run along the length of the film.
- Very thin lines and tiny text are the hardest details to apply cleanly, so keep small type bold.
UV DTF stickers by size: common questions
How is pricing calculated for ApparelMax UV DTF stickers by size?
ApparelMax UV DTF stickers are priced by the film area an order uses. Designs are arranged on film 22 in wide and the price is set by length, starting at $17.77 for 22 × 12 in. The rate per square inch falls as length grows, down to $0.034 at 22 × 240 in. There are no setup, art or per-color fees.
Is there a minimum order for custom UV DTF stickers at ApparelMax?
ApparelMax has no minimum quantity on custom UV DTF stickers. The smallest order is one 22 × 12 in length of film at $17.77. One design or dozens of different designs can share the same film, at any mix of sizes.
What surfaces do ApparelMax UV DTF stickers stick to?
ApparelMax UV DTF stickers bond to hard, smooth surfaces such as glass, metal, plastic, ceramic and sealed wood. Common uses are cups, tumblers, mugs, phone cases, notebooks, packaging, car decals and window signs. UV DTF stickers are not made for fabric. For shirts and hoodies, use ApparelMax DTF heat transfers.
Do ApparelMax UV DTF stickers need a heat press?
ApparelMax UV DTF stickers need no heat press. Clean and dry the surface, peel the backing film, press the sticker down firmly from the center outward, then peel the clear carrier film back slowly. If part of the design lifts with the film, lay it back down and press that area again.
Do ApparelMax UV DTF stickers arrive cut into individual pieces?
ApparelMax UV DTF stickers ship on 22 in wide film in the layout approved in the builder, not as pre-cut pieces. Cut the stickers apart with scissors or a paper trimmer before applying. Leaving a small margin around each design makes it easier to handle and does not affect the result.
What artwork files work best for UV DTF stickers ordered from ApparelMax?
The ApparelMax builder accepts PNG, JPG and SVG uploads. A PNG with a transparent background built at 300 DPI at the final sticker size gives the sharpest edge and avoids a printed box around the design. Keep thin lines and small text bold, since fine details are the hardest to apply cleanly.
What is the difference between ApparelMax UV DTF stickers and ApparelMax DTF transfers?
ApparelMax UV DTF stickers are peel-and-stick decals with a raised, glossy finish for hard surfaces, applied by hand with no heat. ApparelMax DTF transfers are heat-applied prints for fabric, pressed onto cotton, polyester and blends with a heat press. The two are ordered the same way and priced by film area.
