Irvine work is mostly business work: onboarding kits, conference merch, event crews, and bulk runs for resellers. Our Anaheim shop is 15 to 20 minutes north, and while pickup is available, most Irvine orders ship free because they are planned rather than urgent.
Distance from our press: 15–20 minutes off-peak, I-5 south or the SR-55 to the SR-73. Treat that as an estimate rather than a promise — Southern California traffic does what it likes between 3pm and 7pm.
Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm. We are closed weekends, so a Friday 12:00pm (noon) order is the last call for a Saturday event.
Order by 12:00pm (noon) for same-business-day dispatch and free delivery in one to two business days, which suits planned corporate timelines. Anaheim pickup is available weekdays between 9:00am and 4:00pm if an event date has moved up on you.
Irvine has one of the largest master-planned business bases in California, with the Irvine Spectrum and the surrounding office parks concentrating technology, medical-device, and professional-services employers, alongside UC Irvine. The result is a high volume of corporate and event apparel demand and comparatively little walk-in retail work.
Those are facts about Irvine, not claims about our order book — we do not publish customer data by city. What follows is simply where direct-to-film printing tends to fit the kind of work Irvine generates.
Onboarding shirts and team apparel where new hires next quarter must match the batch printed this quarter.
Full-colour giveaway apparel produced to a fixed event date, planned weeks ahead.
Small first batches without minimums, so an unproven design does not require a volume commitment.
Large film-area orders on wholesale tiers, with invoicing rather than card checkout.
A DTF transfer is your artwork printed onto clear film with an adhesive powder layer on the back. You apply it with a heat press, peel the carrier, and the ink is bonded into the fibres. There are no screens to burn and no vinyl to weed, which is what makes short runs economical in the first place.
Pricing follows film area, not design count and not colour count. Fill a gang sheet with forty small prints or one enormous one and the cost is identical if the space used is identical. A full-colour photographic print is priced the same as a plain wordmark of the same size, which is usually the deciding factor against screen printing on runs under a few hundred pieces.
Since your order will arrive by courier, plan two things in. You need a heat press to apply the transfers — an iron will not do it reliably. And order a single small sheet first: it costs very little, arrives just as fast, and tells you how the print behaves on your actual blanks before you commit to a full run.
This is our most business-heavy city page for a reason: Irvine orders are usually procurement rather than retail. That means purchase orders, invoicing on account, resale or exemption documentation filed through our tax exemption page, and wholesale tiers set by monthly film area. Large runs ship as quickly as small ones — the press does not slow down for volume.
If you decorate apparel commercially — a print shop, an embroiderer, a uniform supplier, a school district, or a reseller — talk to us about a wholesale account rather than ordering at retail. Resale and exemption documentation is filed through our tax exemption page before you order, so invoices arrive without sales tax applied. Reach us at (657) 439-0180 or support@dtfgo.com.
