The printing industry has witnessed an extraordinary transformation over the past few decades, evolving from traditional screen-printing techniques to digital methods that prioritize flexibility, speed, and cost-effectiveness. Among the most impactful of these innovations is Direct to Film (DTF) printing, a technology that has rapidly emerged as a game-changer in the custom apparel and textile printing landscape. DTF printing allows users to print designs onto a special film which is then transferred onto various substrates, primarily fabrics, using heat and adhesive powder. Its growing popularity is driven by its versatility, affordability, and ability to offer high-quality; full-colour prints on demand without the limitations traditionally associated with other methods such as Direct-to-Garment (DTG) or screen printing.
Moreover, as businesses and consumers alike demand increasingly personalized products, the market is poised for substantial growth, tapping into sectors such as fashion, sportswear, promotional merchandise, home décor, and even niche industrial applications. The convergence of digital innovation and increased demand for custom output has not only expanded the potential of DTF technology but has also made it more accessible to small businesses and hobbyists, further diversifying its global footprint.
Europe’s printing industry remains a global heavyweight, with €170 billion in revenue in 2022, according to Digital Print Expert. At the heart of this growth is a shift toward high-value, customizable, and sustainable printing solutions—a shift that aligns directly with the capabilities of Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing. Countries like Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, and especially Italy (which alone produces over 40% of the EU’s apparel) form the backbone of Europe’s textile and garment sector. These regions are increasingly adopting DTF to meet short-run, high-quality production demands, particularly for fashion brands, designers, and on-demand apparel services looking for flexibility and fast turnaround.
