What Are UV DTF Transfer Stickers?
UV DTF (Direct-To-Film) Transfer Stickers are a new kind of sticker. There’s no vinyl and no laminate. Just your artwork printed in UV-cured ink that transfers directly onto smooth surfaces. No background needed, just a crisp, clean design that’s waterproof, scratch-resistant, and made to last. It’s like printing straight onto your product.
Best for:
Glass, plastic, metal, ceramics, sealed wood, and other non-porous surfaces. Perfect for logos, labels, signs, or any creative project where you want a sticker-free look. These transfers are single-use and ultra-permanent—once it’s on, it’s on.
Not for:
Fabric, very textured or porous surfaces. For textile projects, check out our Heat Transfers.
How to:
Design with confidence. Gradients are welcome, just not ones that fade to full transparency. Fine detail or floating elements are no problem (within reasonable limits). They arrive pre-cut and ready to use; just like you set it up in the design preview.
Application is Easy:
Peel the backing off.
Press the adhesive layer (with your design) onto your clean, dry surface.
Rub with firm pressure.
Peel away the top film—done!
The glue is pressure activated, and likes a bit a hand temperature heat. No mess. No stress.
Your Art, Your Way
Upload your own design and we’ll print it exactly how you want it. Whether you’re a small business, a maker, or gifting something cool, UV DTF transfers bring your work to life in a clean, bold way.
Want it to really stick? Just make sure your surface is clean, dry, and smooth. That’s the secret to a flawless finish.
