Long Beach is 25 to 35 minutes from our Anaheim shop depending on which freeway you pick and when. Nearly all Long Beach orders ship rather than get collected — free, generally out the same business day on a noon order, and in your hands the next.
Distance from our press: 25–35 minutes off-peak, the SR-91 to I-605, or the SR-22 to I-405. 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. Anaheim pickup is available weekdays between 9:00am and 4:00pm, though the round trip is rarely worth it from Long Beach.
Long Beach is the second-largest city in Los Angeles County, home to the Port of Long Beach, Cal State Long Beach, and a dense arts and music scene concentrated around the East Village and the Retro Row stretch of 4th Street. That combination produces both creative small-batch apparel work and industrial workwear decoration.
Those are facts about Long Beach, not claims about our order book — we do not publish customer data by city.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 Long Beach generates.
Full-colour artwork on small drops without screen setup costs or colour limits.
Show and tour runs in small quantities, where a photographic design presses as easily as a one-colour logo.
Repeat uniform batches where matching the last run is the requirement.
Volunteer and event apparel in modest counts on short notice.
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.
Long Beach sits in Los Angeles County, so a lot of our volume there is wholesale to brands and decorators buying film area monthly. Pricing tiers do not vary by county, invoicing is available on account, and resale certificates are handled through our tax exemption page.
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.
