How much do DTF transfers by the meter cost?

With DTF by the meter, you pay for the length of film you use, not per design or per color. Here is how our pricing works, what real orders cost, and what that means per logo.

Our price per meter

The rate depends on the total length of your order and applies to every meter in it.

Order length Price per meter (excl. VAT)
Under 10 m €15.90
10 to 29 m €13.90
30 m and up €12.90

The film is 56 cm wide and you can order from 0.1 m, with no minimum. Shipping is €14.99 to Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany and Austria, and free from €180 excl. VAT. VAT is calculated at checkout based on your country and VAT number.

What real orders cost

Order Rate Transfers Shipping Total excl. VAT
1 m €15.90 €15.90 €14.99 €30.89
5 m €15.90 €79.50 €14.99 €94.49
9 m €15.90 €143.10 €14.99 €158.09
10 m €13.90 €139.00 €14.99 €153.99
12 m €13.90 €166.80 €14.99 €181.79
13 m €13.90 €180.70 Free €180.70
29 m €13.90 €403.10 Free €403.10
30 m €12.90 €387.00 Free €387.00

Three thresholds worth knowing

  • 10 m costs less than 9 m. At 10 m, every meter drops to €13.90, so 10 m (€139.00) is cheaper than 9 m (€143.10).
  • 13 m costs less than 12 m, shipping included. At 13 m you pass €180 and shipping becomes free.
  • 30 m costs less than 29 m. At 30 m, every meter drops to €12.90.

If your order is just below a threshold, fill the extra length with designs you know you will need later: they cost you nothing extra, or even less.

What that means per logo

How many designs fit on a meter depends on their size and on how tightly they are arranged. With 1 cm between designs on the 56 cm film:

Design size Per meter Per design, under 10 m 10 to 29 m 30 m and up
8 × 8 cm (small chest logo) 66 €0.24 €0.21 €0.20
10 × 10 cm (chest logo) 45 €0.35 €0.31 €0.29
25 × 30 cm (back print) 6 €2.65 €2.32 €2.15

Mixing sizes on one sheet usually fills the film better: small logos can go in the gaps next to large prints.

How to pay less per print

  • Group designs from several clients or jobs on one gang sheet.
  • Rotate designs and keep 5 to 20 mm between them, no more.
  • Watch the thresholds at 10 m, 13 m and 30 m.
