Los Angeles customers buy from DTFGO for output and turnaround, not proximity. We are 35 to 50 minutes south in Anaheim, so LA orders ship — free, usually out the same business day when placed before noon, and delivered within one to two.
Distance from our press: 35–50 minutes off-peak, I-5 north or the SR-91 to I-605. 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. Pickup in Anaheim is possible weekdays between 9:00am and 4:00pm, but from most of Los Angeles the drive costs more time than the shipping saves.
Los Angeles is the centre of the United States apparel industry, and the downtown Fashion District supplies blanks and finished garments nationwide. Most LA customers therefore already have their garment sourcing solved and are looking specifically for decoration capacity that can keep pace with it.
Those are facts about Los Angeles, not claims about our order book — we do not publish customer data by city.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 Los Angeles generates.
Transfers arriving from Anaheim in a day, matched to garments bought downtown the same week.
Short runs and full-colour artwork that are uneconomical to screen print, handed off rather than turned down.
Photographic and gradient-heavy designs pressed without separations or colour limits.
Wholesale film-area pricing for shops reselling decorated apparel under their own name.
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.
Los Angeles is predominantly a wholesale market for us. Accounts are set up by phone or email, priced on monthly film area, and invoiced on account rather than through retail checkout. Resale certificates are processed through our tax exemption page so orders bill without sales tax.
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.
Your own artwork arranged on a sheet of film. The most common order, and the cheapest way to buy transfers by area.
Single designs sized to your garment, pressed and ready to apply on arrival.
For hard surfaces — tumblers, mugs, glass, and cases. No heat press needed; these are applied by hand.

Yes, and this is common. DTF covers the short runs and full-colour jobs that do not justify screens.
There is no minimum to order at all. Wholesale tiers begin once your monthly film area reaches the first threshold — call (657) 439-0180 for specifics.
You are. We print what you supply and do not print licensed or trademarked material without documented permission.
Same press, same pricing, same cutoff — these are the neighbouring areas we serve.
