Snuggle, one of the UK’s most well established garment printing and decoration companies, has launched Snuggle DTF, a new web-to-print platform designed exclusively for the commercial print trade and resellers.

The service offers fast, high-quality direct to film (DTF) transfers with no minimum order quantities enabling trade customers to diversify, scale and streamline their garment decoration offerings.

“There’s been a lot of noise around DTF and for good reason,” says Shabbir Maimoon, director at Peterborough-based Snuggle. “It’s fast, flexible and finally reliable for commercial workflows. Snuggle DTF gives print professionals a simple, scalable way to offer what their customers want without changing how they work.”

Snuggle DTF is a purpose-built platform tailored to trade users, featuring easy web-to-print ordering for DTF transfers and UK-based production for fast turnaround

Customers can simply upload artwork and receive press-ready DTF film transfers with no machines, ink or setup required.

The UK garment decoration market has an estimated annual value of $245 million, with 70 million t-shirts alone attributed to customised printing. As demand for short-run, on-demand and personalised apparel continues to grow, DTF has grown faster than any other technology for flexible garment decoration.

Industry forecasts show DTF is growing at over 40% annually across key metrics, including print volume and supply sales. This rapid growth reflects rising demand from creators, merchandise brands, agencies and retail clients seeking high-quality customisation without setup costs or production bottlenecks.

With full-colour capability on cotton, polyester, blends, and more, DTF has become a modern, scalable solution for garment decoration.

Removing the barriers

Despite its clear advantages, many commercial printers have yet to adopt DTF due to barriers such as unfamiliarity, investments in screen printing or DTG (direct to garment) equipment, concerns about consistency and reliability and a lack of time or capacity to explore new workflows.

By offering production-grade transfers with zero technical overheads for its trade customers, Snuggle empowers them to add DTF to their services instantly with  no equipment, no training and no risk.

Snuggle DTF is now live and accepting trade customers across the UK with sample packs and trade pricing available.

At its 40,000 square foot facility facility, Snuggle also has the capacity to produce 15,000 DTG prints and 10,000 A4 Ttansfers a day and also offers trade embroidery services.
