✨ How to Apply UV DTF Stickers

UV DTF stickers are durable, waterproof, and super easy to apply with no heat or weeding needed! Follow these simple steps for a smooth, long-lasting transfer:

🛠️ What You’ll Need:

  • Your UV DTF sticker

  • A clean, dry surface (glass, plastic, metal, coated wood, etc.)

  • Squeegee, scraper, or credit card

  • Optional: Rubbing alcohol and a lint-free cloth


📌 Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prep Your Surface

    • Clean the surface thoroughly using rubbing alcohol to remove dust, oil, or residue.

    • Allow the surface to dry completely before applying the sticker.

  2. Peel the Backing

    • Slowly peel the clear backing paper from the transfer sheet, making sure the design stays on the top clear adhesive film.

    • If any part of the design lifts with the backing, press it back down and rub firmly before retrying.

  3. Position Your Sticker

    • Align and place the clear film (with the design) onto your surface.

    • Be careful—once it sticks, it’s hard to reposition.

  4. Press and Rub

    • Use a squeegee, scraper, or credit card to firmly rub over the entire design.

    • Apply even pressure, especially over detailed areas and edges.

  5. Peel the Clear Film

    • Slowly peel the clear top film at a sharp angle.

    • The design should stay on your surface. If any part lifts, press it back down and rub again before peeling.

  6. Done!

    • Enjoy your beautifully transferred UV DTF design!

    • Avoid washing or scrubbing the area for 24 hours to ensure full adhesion.


🔒 Tips for Best Results:

  • Works best on smooth, hard, non-porous surfaces.

  • Not recommended for fabrics 

  • Store unused stickers in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
