TNT Print House · Help & FAQs

TNT Print House makes DTF transfers in Belleville, Ontario, Canada, with shipping across Canada and local pickup. Order transfers by size or build a gang sheet online. DTF transfers are ready for pickup or shipped within 24–48 hours.

A DTF transfer is a design printed onto film that you apply to a garment with a heat press. TNT Print House makes the transfer; you press and peel it using TNT’s settings for your fabric. If you want us to supply and decorate the garment, choose custom apparel instead.

You receive ready-to-press DTF transfers, not finished garments. Supply your own garments and heat press, or order custom apparel and we'll print it for you.

DTF transfers are ready for pickup or shipped within 24–48 hours. That is the production and dispatch window, not a promised delivery date. Allow additional transit time if you choose shipping.

TNT Print House has no minimums for DTF transfers or individual custom apparel. You can order one custom T-shirt or hoodie. Bundles have their own listed quantities, including the 24-cap embroidered bundle.

A DTF gang sheet puts multiple designs or copies on one sheet of transfer film. Arrange the artwork in the online builder, then cut the transfers apart before pressing. You can use the layout for repeated logos or a mix of designs.

TNT Print House offers 24-inch and 30-inch gang sheet widths, with 13 lengths from 24 to 350 inches. Choose the width and listed length that suit your layout. The builder and product options show the available choices.

Choose a gang sheet when you want to arrange several designs together; choose transfers by size when you want to order by individual design dimensions. Both options are DTF transfers. Compare the layout and current order total before choosing.

TNT’s 24-inch gang sheets start at $17.30, and 30-inch gang sheets start at $21.60. Transfers by size are about 5¢ per square inch. Use the current product options or calculator for your selected dimensions and quantity.

Open TNT’s gang sheet builder, add your artwork and arrange it at the size you want to print. Check the dimensions, copies and spacing before you place the order. If a file looks blurry or has an unwanted background, ask Taren or Tara to check it first.

DTF suits small runs with detailed, full-colour artwork; screen printing can suit larger runs of the same design. The right choice depends on your artwork, quantity and how you plan to reorder.

DTF prints your design onto film for heat application. You do not need to prepare a separate screen for each colour. That makes it a practical way to test a logo, print a few event shirts or order a small top-up. TNT Print House offers DTF transfers and individual custom apparel with no minimums.

Screen printing pushes ink through prepared screens onto the garment. Multicolour designs require colour separation and screen setup. That preparation can make more sense when it is spread across a longer run of matching designs.

Start with the actual job: the same logo on many shirts, or several designs in small quantities? Compare the full order, including setup and reorders, rather than assuming one method always wins. For a short run, build your TNT design online and check the preview before ordering.

DTF suits detailed, full-colour artwork, while cut heat transfer vinyl suits simpler shapes, names, numbers and special finishes. Both use heat to attach a design, but preparing the artwork for application is different.

With cut HTV, a cutter follows the design’s outlines. You remove the unwanted material, a step called weeding, before pressing. A simple name or bold number can work well this way. Glitter, metallic and other specialty vinyl finishes also create looks that a standard DTF print does not reproduce.

DTF arrives as a printed transfer, so you do not cut and weed individual letters or colour layers. That can make a detailed logo or a design with several colours easier to handle. Large solid areas still deserve thought when you plan the print’s coverage and feel.

Choose around the artwork you actually want. TNT’s DTF transfers are ready for pickup or shipped within 24–48 hours. If you are unsure about fine details or an unwanted background, send us the file before ordering.

TNT Print House accepts PNG, JPEG, SVG, PSD, AI, EPS and PDF files. Prepare raster artwork at 300 DPI at the final print size, with image dimensions of at least 300 × 300 pixels. Accepted file formats do not all necessarily produce the same editable browser preview.

Prepare raster artwork at 300 DPI at the final print size. For example, a 10-inch-wide design needs 3,000 pixels across at that resolution; a 300-pixel-wide image only provides 300 DPI at one inch. Changing a file’s DPI label alone does not add detail, and pure vector artwork is resolution-independent.

Use a transparent background when you want only the logo printed, without a surrounding box. PNG supports transparency; JPEG does not. Remove unwanted background areas before ordering, or ask Taren or Tara to check the file.

Yes—Taren and Tara can check artwork and help you understand what needs attention. Email us or call us with your intended print size and question. For custom apparel, you approve your own design in the live preview before ordering.

Make your artwork 300 DPI at the size you want it printed. A 2-inch logo at 300 DPI drops to about 50 DPI if you print it 12 inches wide, so set the size first. Ask Taren or Tara to check your file if you're unsure.

We've printed and pressed lines thinner than a fingernail. If your design has very fine lines or small text, reach out and we'll take a look.

Not without checking with you first. Our system flags low-quality images before anything prints, even a single image on a full gang sheet. Unless you've already talked to us about it, we'll contact you to ask whether you want to go ahead or change the file.

Yes. Your colours print first, then a layer of white on top, then the adhesive powder. That white underbase is what makes the colours pop on any shirt colour, including black.

Colour knockout is a way of setting up your artwork so the garment shows through part of the design. For example, if your design has a lot of black and you're printing on a black shirt, remove the black from the file. Everything else prints, and the shirt itself becomes the black in your design.

A knockout print feels better, lasts longer and doesn't feel like a transfer.

Yes, we'll do our best to match it. Send us the Pantone code and we can print test samples and match it to your satisfaction.

Keep in mind that colours always look slightly different between Photoshop, your laptop, your phone and real life, because screens display colour differently.

That's up to you and how comfortable you are with scissors. If you cut well, you can leave very little. The lines just can't touch each other, and our online builder tells you when designs overlap.

Yes. If you built your sheet in Canva, Photoshop or other software, download it as a PNG at the highest DPI you can and upload it as one full image.

Optional but recommended: pre-press the blank garment for 3–5 seconds. Then press TNT DTF transfers at 295–305°F for cotton, blends and most fabrics, or 275–285°F for polyester and heat-sensitive fabrics, for 10–12 seconds with medium-to-high pressure. Peel immediately while hot, fast in one quick pull. Finish with a 5-second post press using a cover sheet.

Peel TNT DTF transfers immediately while hot, fast in one quick, smooth pull, like ripping off a Band-Aid. A slow peel can lift the print. After peeling, use a cover sheet for the 5-second post press.

It's optional but recommended. Press the blank garment for 3–5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles before you position the transfer.

Use a heat press for consistent heat and pressure across the transfer. Follow our fabric settings, peel hot and finish with a 5-second press.

Yes, if that's what you have, go for it. Don't let it hold you back. Just make sure the press can give medium-to-high pressure and shows you the actual temperature. Some small presses only say low, medium or high, and if the transfer doesn't reach the right temperature, it won't stick or last.

A proper heat press will always give you better results.

• Left chest: 3–4 in wide. Centre it about 4 in to the wearer’s left of the centre line, with the top about 3–4 in below the collar seam.
• Full front: 10–12 in wide, top about 3–4 in below the collar seam.
• Full back: 10–12 in wide, top about 3–4 in below the collar seam. For an upper-back name or logo, start about 2–3 in below the collar.
• Hoodie front: keep the print above the pocket, about 3–4 in below the neck seam, up to 12 in wide.
• Sleeve: up to about 3.5 in wide, centred on the sleeve.
• Youth and fitted styles: scale down; a full front of 8–10 in wide often suits better.
• Caps: up to 4 × 2.25 in on the front panel.

Keep prints off seams, zips and thick stitching so the pressure stays even.

TNT DTF transfers offer 100+ wash durability. Correct application and garment care matter, so follow TNT’s press instructions and the garment’s care label. If a print is lifting or cracking early, contact us with your application details so we can help check the cause.

Turn it inside out, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low. No bleach, and don’t iron directly on the print.

We've had transfers last over a year. The key is storing them somewhere climate controlled, like inside your home or shop.

A garage that gets very hot in summer, very cold in winter or very humid is what ruins them.

TNT Print House uses OEKO-TEX certified inks for DTF transfers. Our focus is vivid, accurate colour and a clean hot peel. The ink certification is not a claim that every finished garment or every part of a product carries the same certification.

Just about anything. We've pressed on cotton, 50/50 blends, 100% polyester, poly-nylon mixes, spandex, nylon, leather, mesh, canvas, denim and rain jackets, and even a 2x4 piece of lumber.

That includes brands like Nike, Adidas, Puma, Carhartt and Berne, work jackets, perforated hi-vis vests, Nike basketball warm-up jerseys and reversible jerseys, inside and out. Specialty garments can need small changes to how you press them.

Yes, any time you try a new fabric or garment. If it's your own, test on the inside of the garment. If it's for a customer, it's easier and cheaper to buy one extra piece to test on.

Yes, we've been pressing hats for years. 5-panel hats are much easier and fit a larger logo. 6-panel hats work too, including Yupoong and Nike, but the seams limit your design size and make pressing harder.

A cap press will make your life a lot easier.

Bumps are usually the real limit, not the fabric. A hoodie's front pocket or a pocket on a canvas jacket creates an uneven surface on a flat press, and that affects how well the transfer sticks and how long it lasts. Adjust how you press around them, or place the print where the surface is flat.

Yes, up to a point. We use a tested, high-quality adhesive powder that helps transfers stretch without cracking for longer. We've stretched pressed T-shirts on camera until the shirt ripped and the transfer didn't.

On very stretchy fabric like spandex, a transfer pulled past its limit will start to show wear and cracking. Screen printing does the same.

It depends on how much they're stretched. We've had prints on ball caps last 2–3 years and prints on toques last 2–3 months, because a toque gets stretched over and over and a ball cap doesn't.

Soft to the touch and light to wear, not a heavy piece of plastic. A large solid rectangle of full colour will still feel like a large print. Halftones and good artwork setup make it feel lighter and easier to wear, whichever print method you use.

Stop the run and check your press settings and peel technique before pressing more garments. Use TNT’s temperature for your fabric, 10–12 seconds and medium-to-high pressure, then peel immediately while hot in one quick pull. If it keeps lifting, contact Taren or Tara with your fabric, settings and a photo.

Do the 5-second post press with a cover sheet, and make sure the print isn't sitting over a seam, zip or thick stitching.

Check that you used the full time, temperature, pressure and post press, and follow the wash and care steps.

Use 275–285°F for polyester and heat-sensitive fabrics, and test one garment first.

Yes, you can press it again. Prints shouldn't lift with normal washing and wear. We have shirts for gym brands, washed every week for 2 years, that still haven't lifted.

Yes. We always try to have orders submitted before 9 a.m. ready for same-day pickup, so let us know if you need it that day. In a pinch? reach out. We've been in the same boat and we'll do what we can.

No. We count business days only, so weekends don't count toward the 24–48 hours.

No. DTF transfers are ready for pickup or shipped within 24–48 hours. Delivery takes additional time and depends on the destination and carrier. Check an event deadline with us before ordering.

Reach out as fast as you can. We sometimes print before or after hours, so your order may already be running while you're asleep. If it's still in the queue, we can make changes. Once it's printed, there's not much we can do.

We usually can't cancel an order once it's placed, but talk to us and we'll help where we can.

Make an account when you order, so your files are saved under your email and you can reorder your sheets yourself. The online builder keeps files for a limited time, so don't treat it as long-term storage.

For privacy and safety, we can't go into your account and make changes for you.

Yes. Reach out and we'll sort you out.

If you're a print shop with steady monthly volume, reach out. Once you're printing a certain number of square inches a month, we can talk about wholesale pricing. It isn't listed publicly.

Yes. We work with schools and businesses on a range of payment options. Reach out and we'll sort out what works for you.

TNT Print House ships across Canada, with free shipping over $300. DTF transfers are ready for pickup or shipped within 24–48 hours; custom apparel and bundles are processed, printed and shipped or ready for pickup in 3–5 business days. Shipping transit time is additional.

We use Purolator, UPS, Canada Post and FedEx, and choose the best one based on where your order is going and the shipping option you pick. Every order comes with tracking.

It depends on where you are. Within Ontario, it's on average about $11–$20. Your exact cost shows at checkout, and shipping is free across Canada on orders over $300.

Yes. Customs or duty fees outside Canada are set by your government and aren't charged by us. If you're concerned about anything, reach out.

Yes. We can ship directly to your customers without TNT branding, but it has to be set up beforehand, so reach out first.

Yes—local pickup is available in Belleville, Ontario. Select pickup when ordering and wait until your order is ready before collecting it. Email us or call us if you need to confirm pickup details.

Reach out and we'll make it right. The best thing to do is open your order as soon as it arrives, go through it and let us know right away.

Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do if a transfer is pressed with the wrong settings, the wrong press or on the wrong garment. Every order comes with pressing instructions, and our DTF guides walk you through it. Test on a spare garment first if you're unsure.

We don't offer refunds, but we're committed to making it right when there's a problem with your order, for example by redoing it. See our full refund policy, or reach out with any questions.

Choose your garment, upload your logo and drag it into place in TNT’s live designer. Select the offered colours, enter your sizes and quantities, and approve the preview before ordering. Free setup is included, and individual custom apparel has no minimums.

Yes—you can see your design on the garment in TNT’s drag-and-drop live preview. Check the selected garment, colour, print placement and size breakdown before approving your design and placing the order. You approve your own design online; a printed proof is not included.

Custom apparel and bundles are processed, printed and shipped or ready for pickup in 3–5 business days. That window does not include shipping transit time. If you have an event date, contact us before ordering so we can discuss the timing.

We order your garments in from our suppliers first, then print and ship them, which is why apparel takes longer than DTF transfers. If we finish early, that's a bonus.

Yes—bundles let your crew mix the offered colours and sizes under one logo, subject to the selected bundle’s options. The 12-tee TNT Premium bundle is black only, with a full-front DTF print. Check each bundle’s garments, quantities and included print locations before ordering.

Ask each person for their garment style, colour, size and quantity, then total the answers by style and colour. Use the size guide for that exact garment and compare it with a garment they already like wearing. Enter the final breakdown in the designer and check that the quantities match your chosen bundle.

Yes—small add-ons apply to 2XL+ sizes and extra print locations. Your chosen product or bundle shows the included decoration and available options. Check the final total after selecting sizes and placements.

The Office bundle includes DTF printing on the left chest and back of every garment. It contains three Eagle polos, three Flux quarter-zips and six Crew sweatshirts. Choose the offered colours and sizes, then check and approve your design in the live preview.

Yes—TNT Print House offers CX2 hi-vis garments that you can customise with your logo. Choose the exact style and check its supplier specifications against your job’s requirements before ordering. Ask us about logo placement on your selected garment; a hi-vis category label alone does not establish suitability for every job.

Yes—the 24-cap Yupoong bundle includes front-panel embroidery, with Classic Trucker or Classic 2-Tone Trucker choices. The Start-Up and Blue Collar kits include DTF-printed caps, with a choice of Retro Foam Trucker or True North Twill. Check the decoration listed for the product you choose, because printed and embroidered options are different.

Printed hats suit logos you want reproduced as a graphic; embroidered hats create the texture of a design stitched in thread. Choose the finish alongside the cap style and the amount of detail in your artwork.

DTF printing applies a printed transfer to the cap. It can be a useful choice for a multicolour logo, but small lettering still needs to be readable at the final size. Embroidery turns artwork into stitches. Fine text and tightly packed details may need simplifying rather than shrinking the whole design to fit.

TNT’s Start-Up and Blue Collar kits include DTF-printed Retro Foam Trucker or True North Twill caps. The separate 24-cap Yupoong bundle includes front-panel embroidery on Classic Trucker or Classic 2-Tone Trucker caps. These options have different decoration methods; check the product you select.

Upload your logo and review its placement before ordering. If the artwork includes a small tagline or crowded details, ask Taren or Tara which option suits the design.

Yes, but we don't recommend it. If something goes wrong with a garment you bring in, we aren't liable to replace it. For example, if an expensive dress can't take the heat and gets damaged, we can't replace it.

Yes. We do names and numbers on team jerseys, hoodies, T-shirts, gym bags and more.

Yes. Reach out and tell us what you need. Embroidery is done with our trusted partners.

We can do some graphic design in-house. Reach out and we'll let you know what we can and can't do for your project.

We've stopped doing DTG in-house, and we don't offer sublimation or UV DTF. For screen printing and embroidery, we have great partners, so reach out if that's what you're looking for.
