How Bringing DTF Printing In-House Can Transform Your Business
If you’re in the UK custom apparel or promotional products industry, buying DTF transfers might feel like the easiest way to handle orders.
But have you considered how much money, time, and control you’re losing by relying on external suppliers? For businesses regularly purchasing DTF transfers, bringing the printing process in-house is often the smarter, more profitable choice.
Investing in a DTF printer, such as the Digital HeatFX DTF-24/H2, can help you eliminate outsourcing headaches, increase profitability, and even cash flow from Day 1. Let’s explore why now is the perfect time to take control of your printing.
The Hidden Costs of Buying DTF Transfers
- High Supplier Markups
Every transfer you buy includes not just the material costs but also your supplier’s profit margin. Over time, these added costs eat into your profits, especially if you’re handling consistent or large orders.
- Reorders Due to Errors or Bad Batches
Mistakes happen—whether it’s a bad batch of transfers or an issue with the design. When something goes wrong, you’re forced to reorder, which creates delays, frustrates clients, and adds unexpected expenses to your project.
- Long Lead Times
Waiting for suppliers to process and ship your dtftransfers slows production. If a rush order comes in or you’re running behind, those delays could cost you customers and repeat business.
- Minimum Order Requirements
Suppliers often impose minimum order quantities, which can be wasteful and costly if you only need a small number of transfers. These restrictions make small runs far less viable, limiting your ability to cater to bespoke orders.
Why In-House DTF Printing Makes Financial Sense
Cash Flow from Day 1
If you’re regularly ordering DTF transfers, you’re already spending money every month that could be redirected toward financing your own printer.
For example, a DigitalHeat FX 24H2 DTF printer, paired with affordable financing options, can easily pay for itself.
By eliminating supplier markups and shipping fees, you’ll start saving money—and increasing margins—immediately.
Lower Cost Per Transfer
With in-house printing, you only pay for raw materials like film, ink, and powder, which are far cheaper than finished transfers. This drastically reduces your cost per print, helping you boost profitability on every order.
No More Wasted Stock
Print only what you need, when you need it. In-house DTF printing eliminates the risk of over-ordering or holding onto unused inventory, freeing up cash flow and storage space.
Other Key Benefits of In-House Printing vs Outsourcing
- Faster Turnaround Times
When you print in-house, there’s no waiting for suppliers. You control the schedule, allowing you to meet tight deadlines, handle rush orders, and impress your customers with lightning-fast service.
- Complete Quality Control
Bad batches become a thing of the past. With a DigitalHeat FX 24H2, you’re in charge of every step of production. You can print test transfers, catch errors early, and ensure every order meets your high standards before it leaves your shop.
- Flexibility for Small Runs
In-house printing lets you handle any order size with ease, from a single personalised shirt to a large batch of team kits. This flexibility makes it easier to cater to niche markets and bespoke requests, opening up new revenue streams.
- Scalability for Growth
As your business grows, your in-house setup grows with you. A DTF printer like the DigitalHeat FX 24H2 is designed to handle high volumes without compromising quality, making it the ideal solution for scaling your operations.
Real-Life Scenario: Does In-House DTF Printing Pay Off?
If you’re regularly ordering DTF transfers, you’re already spending money every month that could be redirected toward financing your own printer.
Here’s the math:
- Current outsourcing cost: £1,000/month
- New in-house cost (materials + machine financing): £500/month
- Monthly savings: £500
Not only are you saving money from the start, but you’re also gaining speed, flexibility, and control over your production process—all of which enhance your customer experience and profitability.
