What We Print and Who We Work With
Our services support both ongoing accounts and time-sensitive custom projects. We regularly produce custom merch for:
- Local businesses and growing brands
- Restaurants and hospitality groups
- Schools, PTOs, and community organizations
- Youth and adult sports teams — flag football, baseball, softball, volleyball, pickleball, cheer, and more
- Events, pop-ups, and fundraisers
- Trade shows and exhibitors
- Convention-center-driven orders requiring speed and consistency
Because we work across many industries, our systems are designed to handle varied artwork, tight deadlines, and different fulfillment needs — without sacrificing quality.
Our Core Services
DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing
DTF printing allows full-color, detailed designs to be applied across a wide range of garments — shirts, hoodies, hats, tote bags, and virtually any fabric-based product. It's a flexible solution for apparel, uniforms, promotional items, and branded merchandise with no minimum order and no per-color upcharge.
We use premium OEKO-TEX certified consumables and a controlled production workflow to deliver consistent, professional results on every order.
UV DTF Printing
UV DTF is ideal for hard-surface branding — full-color, durable decals applied without heat pressing. Common UV DTF applications include:
- Drinkware and tumblers
- Packaging and labels
- Promotional items and branded giveaways
- Decals and hard surface graphics
Full Custom Merchandise Production
For customers who want ready-to-deliver merch, we offer full-service production — printing, pressing or application, and packing so items are ready for distribution. No extra steps on your end.
Flexible Ordering: Transfers Only or Full Service
Every customer's workflow is different. We offer two ordering paths:
Transfers-Only (DTF and UV DTF)
Many customers order DTF or UV DTF transfers only and complete the merch themselves. This option is ideal if you:
- Already have pressing or application capabilities
- Want to reduce labor costs
- Want flexibility in when and where items are finished
Full-Service Production (Print, Press, Pack)
For a turnkey solution, we handle printing, pressing, and packaging so your items are ready to deliver. This option is popular for:
- Businesses and brands
- Sports teams and schools
- Events, trade shows, and conventions
- Projects with tight deadlines
Both options follow the same quality standards — the difference is how much of the production you want handled for you.
Why Materials and Process Matter
Quality custom merch starts long before ink hits fabric. We use premium, OEKO-TEX certified consumables — Japanese-sourced inks, German-sourced film, and German-sourced TPU adhesive powder — and follow a disciplined production process because consistency, durability, and finish matter, especially at scale.
Equally important is having a team that understands design, sizing, and real-world application — not just printing. iHeartCustoms runs in-house production on the Mimaki TXF300 and Roland VG3. No outsourcing. No third-party delays.
Artwork and File Requirements
Artwork is often the biggest variable in custom merch production. Files that aren't print-ready get pulled from the queue until corrected — and lose their original position. To keep your project moving, files must meet these requirements:
- File format: PNG, AI, EPS, SVG, or vector
- Resolution: minimum 300 DPI
- Color mode: RGB
- Background: transparent
When possible, we'll make minor adjustments to help an order move through production efficiently. For more complex issues, we communicate before printing begins.
When Custom Merch Makes Sense
Custom merch is especially effective for:
- Brand visibility and promotions
- Team identity and spirit wear
- Events, expos, and trade shows
- Fundraisers and group orders
- Internal company apparel
- Convention giveaways and booth merchandise
Whether you need a small batch or a larger run, having the right production process in place makes all the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DTF printing and how does it work?
DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing produces full-color transfers that are heat-pressed onto fabric. It works on cotton, polyester, blends, and most garment types with no minimum order, no color limits, and no setup fees.
What is UV DTF and what surfaces does it work on?
UV DTF produces full-color decals for hard surfaces — tumblers, drinkware, packaging, promotional items, and labels — without heat pressing. The decal is applied directly to the surface and adheres cleanly.
What is the difference between transfers-only and full-service production?
Transfers-only means we print the DTF or UV DTF transfer and you apply it yourself. Full-service means we handle printing, pressing, and packing so items are ready to deliver. Both options use the same quality standards.
Does iHeartCustoms have a minimum order quantity?
No. iHeartCustoms operates with no minimum order quantities on DTF transfers, UV DTF decals, and custom merch. Order exactly what you need.
What file format do I need to submit for DTF or UV DTF printing?
Print-ready files must be PNG, AI, EPS, SVG, or vector format — minimum 300 DPI — RGB color mode — transparent background. Files that don't meet specs are held until corrected and lose their queue position.

Standard DTF and UV DTF gang sheets are 1–2 business days. Custom merch is 3–5 business days. Rush orders are available same or next business day when placed by 1pm. Local pickup available at our Orlando location.
