Transfer Stickers (UV DTF Stickers)

UV DTF transfer stickers are a durable and versatile way to apply your design or logo to a wide range of hard surfaces without having to have a background.

Transfer stickers are ideal for use on hard surfaces such as glass, plastic, metal, wood, cups, mugs and much more. These UV DTF stickers have glossy, vibrant colours, strong adhesion and they are both waterproof and scratch resistant. Some people call them 3D stickers because they are slightly raised rather than being completely flat like conventional stickers.

UV DTF transfer stickers are produced by printing a white base layer onto an adhesive film, then the colour, and finally a layer of glossy varnish. We then apply a clear film over the top to allow for an easy application process.

Please Note: These transfer stickers have a very strong permanent adhesive and the clear application film is also high tack. This product is not suitable for applying onto paper, card or soft-touch surfaces as the application film could damage the surface. We recommend ordering a free Transfer Stickers sample pack and testing on a spare piece of material if you are unsure.

Application Instructions

To apply the transfer stickers, first make sure that the surface you're applying to is clean.

Press down firmly on top of the entire sticker using a squeegee if you have one (or your fingers if you don't).

Slowly peel the top layer of clear film to lift the design and the clear film from the backing material together. If a small part of your design doesn't lift off the backing paper, lower the clear film back onto the backing paper, rub over the missing part of the design and try lifting it again.

When the entire design has been lifted, discard the backing paper and then very carefully place the sticker in position on your chosen surface.

Press down firmly across the entire design again, using a squeegee if you have one, then very slowly remove the clear film.

If a small part of your design lifts off the surface, lower the clear film slightly, rub over that part of the design firmly and try again.

Once the clear film has been completely removed, we recommend pressing down firmly across the entire design one more time to ensure it has been fully applied.

Please Note: These transfer stickers have a very strong permanent adhesive.

Printing
We digitally print using a high resolution 4 colour (CMYK) process to print all logos, text and background colours onto our products.

Pantone® Colours
If Pantone® colours are used in your design we will use the CMYK Pantone® matching system to print your stickers using CMYK inks. Please note: There are many Pantone® colours that cannot be accurately matched using CMYK colours. If you use a Pantone® colour that cannot be matched it will be converted to the closest CMYK colour available. Colour matching is not guaranteed.
