Houston DTF Pillar

Houston Instant Peel DTF Transfers

DTF is usually the right move when you need full-color artwork, mixed quantities, and fast Houston fulfillment for apparel.

For same-day Houston pickup, place DTF orders by 2:00 PM CT Monday through Saturday, with service windows running through 10:00 PM CT.

If you are deciding between methods, compare DTF against plastisol for spot-color bulk runs or UV for hard goods before checkout.

AMS Transfers runs Instant Peel DTF production in Houston so you can order online, choose pickup or shipping, and get press-ready transfers without waiting through an out-of-state production queue.
