Product FAQ
What is the minimum order?
The minimum is 300 square inches of printed transfer area. Check your image dimensions and quantities before adding them to your cart.
How do I check the price?
Upload your images and choose their dimensions and quantities to see your price. The rate is approximately $.027 USD per square inch (rounded for display), with a 300-square-inch total minimum. The uploader and cart show the final line prices and total.
How should I prepare my artwork?
Use a transparent PNG when you do not want a printed background. Aim for 300 effective DPI at the final print size. JPG images keep their background; enlarging a small image does not add detail.
Is shipping included?
DTF shipping is separate: Standard is $8 with 3–5 business days in transit, or Express is $15 with 1–2 business days in transit. Production after artwork approval is additional.
What if there is a printing problem?
All items are custom printed, so all sales are final. We will replace defective or incorrectly printed items. Contact info@theapparelplug.com about a defective or incorrectly printed item. This policy does not limit any rights required by applicable law.

Pressing FAQ & Troubleshooting
The transfer is not sticking. What should I check?
Verify actual platen temperature with a temperature strip or heat gun. Check pressing time and even pressure. Too little heat or pressure can prevent bonding.
The edges are lifting. What should I do?
Cover with parchment or kraft paper and press again for 5 seconds.
The film will not peel cleanly.
Check for firm, even pressure. If the design lifts, let it cool slightly and try peeling cold.
Can I use the same settings on every fabric?
Use 290°F for cotton, blends and most materials, or 275°F for polyester and sensitive fabrics. Both use 10–12 seconds at medium to high pressure. Test first.
When can I wash the garment?
Wait at least 24 hours before washing or stretching.
