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:
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.

-
Done!

Enjoy your beautifully transferred UV DTF design!

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