Custom DTF Transfer Printing in Portsmouth

Britain's only island city has a character unlike anywhere else. Portsmouth's naval heritage, Southsea's independent creative scene, and Pompey FC's devoted fanbase generate strong and varied demand for custom printed apparel. Whether you are branding a Historic Dockyard gift shop range, kitting out a Southsea surf club, or printing matchday tees for Fratton Park, DTF transfers offer the quality and flexibility Portsmouth needs.

Southsea's Albert Road is the cultural spine of Portsmouth's creative community, lined with independent shops, vintage stores, and music venues like the Wedgewood Rooms. The annual Victorious Festival on Southsea Common attracts over 100,000 music fans who spend heavily on merchandise and event apparel. Gunwharf Quays draws shoppers from across the south coast, while the Historic Dockyard - home to HMS Victory, the Mary Rose, and HMS Warrior - is one of the UK's most visited heritage attractions, driving substantial demand for souvenir printed merchandise.

Portsmouth's economy is anchored by defence, marine technology, and the University of Portsmouth, with tourism contributing over £800 million annually. The city's compact geography concentrates commercial activity, creating a dense market for branded apparel and custom merchandise. DTF transfers serve this market efficiently, offering premium prints without the setup costs that would be prohibitive for the many small businesses operating across Portsea Island.

Easy! easy! Easy! I wanted to replicate a Bath rugby top, found the logo and emailed it to the team, they gave me some advice and I ordered the heat transfer to the correct size and it arrived in a few days. Super easy to follow the instructions, ironed with medium heat and looks like the original kit!! Will 1,000,000% be ordering more for things like names on the back of kits for kids etc. really pleased. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I ordered two small prints of my logo to iron on to t-shirts and honestly I couldn't be happy. Not only was the price right, delivery quick the quality is fab and I love that I made my own uniform rather than paying a small fortune for someone else to do it! Will totally be ordering more and already recommending it to to other small businesses.

Super fast turnaround, transfers worked 100% fine. I had a mix of small letters and large prints.

Easy ordering process and quick delivery. Fixing instructions were clear but unfortunately the labels have started to pucker after just one wash. Excellent customer service in replying to my review and sending out more stickers.

DTF Owl replied: Hi Lisa, Thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear about the poor washability. I suspect it's the iron application. We use the same exact glue that's used for gluing shoes and even aviation. Sadly, it requires precise application. If the iron temperature drops under 130C, not enough pressure is applied (You need to use your entire bodyweight to push down on an iron) or not enough time is given for the glue to melt into the fibres, the transfers won't last long in the wash. Please get in touch so that we could get your transfers reprinted in case you'd like to peel the old ones off and give new ones another try. Or just use them as a cover-up. In any case, I'd like to offer a full refund. If you are not happy with the transfer, I'd rather not take your money. Hope I'll hear from you soon. Kind regards, Ilia

We are very pleased with the service provided. We genuinely appreciated DFT Owl's proactive communication regarding the potential issues with our design due to the fine lines. Ultimately, it was our decision to proceed, viewing it as an experiment. The results have exceeded our expectations, and we will certainly be purchasing from this company again in the future.

Good web site easy and very quick delivery - exactly as planned - however I order two copies and only one was delivered, never mind par for the course these days. It would have been five stars if both had arrived.

DTF Owl replied: Thank you for your purchase and a review. I'm sorry we let you down with a missing transfer. Mistakes do happen as we are all humans. What matters is how we fix those mistakes. M Jones notified us about the missing transfer and within 11 minutes we've investigated the problem and offered a full order replacement which will be dispatched with Royal Mail 24 as soon as the bank holiday is over. Hopefully you'll give our printing service another try in the future.

Move the iron slowly across the transfer, pressing firmly for at least 10 seconds on each area. Peel, press again briefly with parchment paper, and your custom garment is ready.
