OrderPrintex is a premier manufacturing facility and bulk printing studio based in New Delhi, India. We specialize in industrial-grade Direct-to-Film (DTF) apparel transfers, UV DTF multi-surface transfer decals, custom screen-quality t-shirt printing, and turnkey corporate promotional kits. We cater to apparel brands, promotional agencies, screen printers, and independent creators across India.

Yes! A significant portion of our daily production is dedicated to job-work and white-label wholesale supply for screen printing studios, DTG printers, uniform manufacturers, and retail clothing brands. We provide rolls and gang sheets ready for you to press and distribute to your own customers.

We accept high-resolution files in the following formats:

  • PNG (.png): Recommended for single designs and gang sheets. Must have a transparent background.
  • Adobe Illustrator (.ai) & EPS (.eps): Vector formats. All fonts must be converted to curves/outlines.
  • Adobe Photoshop (.psd): Layered PSD with transparent background at 300 DPI.
  • PDF (.pdf): High-resolution print-ready press PDF with embedded fonts.

Our online Upload Your Design tool supports files up to 25 MB directly in the browser.

You can upload artwork directly through the Upload Your Design workbench on our Homepage, on our Service pages, or via the Get a Quote form. Ensure your artwork has transparent negative spaces wherever you do not want white ink backing to print. If you submit a JPEG with a white background, that white square will be printed unless our prepress team is instructed to remove it.

Yes, absolutely. Every order undergoes rigorous prepress check by our color technicians. We check resolution, line thickness, color gamut, and bleed margins. For custom projects, digital mockups and RIP proofs are uploaded to your customer portal for approval before physical printing starts.

DTF (Direct-to-Film) is a cutting-edge digital garment decoration technique. Artwork is printed onto a specialized PET release film using high-density CMYK textile inks plus a solid white underbase, followed by a layer of hot-melt polyurethane adhesive powder cured under heat. Unlike direct-to-garment (DTG) or screen printing, DTF transfers apply flawlessly to virtually any fabric: 100% cotton, combed cotton, 100% polyester, poly-cotton blends, fleece, denim, nylon, canvas, and performance spandex.

For optimal washability and soft-hand feel, follow this industrial application standard:

  1. Pre-press: Press the garment for 3–5 seconds to eliminate moisture and flatten fabric fibers.
  2. Transfer Press: 160°C (320°F) for 15 seconds under medium-to-firm pressure (40–50 PSI / 4–5 bar).
  3. Peel: Wait until the transfer cools completely to room temperature (Cold Peel), then gently peel back the PET carrier film in a smooth, continuous motion.
  4. Post-press / Sealing: Cover the graphic with Teflon or silicone parchment paper and press for an additional 5 seconds to seal the transfer into the garment weave.

DTF prints engineered with our high-grade TPU powder withstand 50+ machine washes when cared for properly:

  • Turn garment inside-out prior to washing.
  • Wash in cold or lukewarm water (max 30°C / 85°F) using mild detergent.
  • Avoid bleach, strong optical brighteners, and harsh stain removers directly over the graphic.
  • Tumble dry on gentle low heat or hang dry in the shade.
  • Never iron directly onto the printed transfer; iron inside-out or cover with a pressing cloth.

UV DTF is an innovative cold-transfer technology engineered specifically for hard, non-porous surfaces. Using piezoelectric printheads, the printer deposits white ink, vibrant CMYK inks, and a high-gloss 3D tactile clear varnish, cured instantaneously by ultraviolet LED lamps. The prints are sandwiched between a release paper and a high-tack transfer film. No heat press or sublimation oven is required. You simply peel, align, rub firmly, and peel the carrier film away.

UV DTF stickers bond permanently to clean, rigid, and smooth or lightly contoured materials, including:

  • Glassware: Wine glasses, beer mugs, candle jars, mirrors, and storefront glass.
  • Metals: Stainless steel tumblers, aluminum water flasks, metal business cards, and laptop enclosures.
  • Ceramics: Coffee mugs, decorative plates, tiles, and porcelain.
  • Plastics & Acrylics: Phone cases, acrylic awards, signage, hard luggage, and cosmetic packaging.
  • Hard Woods & Leather: Coated wooden boxes, plaques, leather notebooks, and binders.

Yes. Because the inks are cross-linked under high-intensity UV light and topped with a durable varnish layer, UV DTF stickers are 100% waterproof, UV-sunlight resistant, and scratch-resistant under normal handling. While they endure mild dishwasher cycles, hand-washing with a soft sponge is recommended to ensure maximum longevity on drinkware and tumblers.

Yes, we offer complete end-to-end t-shirt manufacturing and printing. You can provide your own blanks or choose from our factory-stocked blanks:

  • 180 GSM Bio-Washed Combed Cotton: Soft, breathable, pre-shrunk round-neck tees for events, creators, and brands.
  • 240 GSM Heavyweight Oversized Cotton: Streetwear drop-shoulder tees with luxury collar ribbing.
  • Dry-Fit Polyester & Micro-PP: Breathable sports jerseys and marathon activewear.
  • Pique Knit Polo Collars: Premium corporate and team polo shirts with optional embroidery or DTF breast logos.

We support versatile placement configurations: Front Left Chest (pocket print), Center Chest, Full Front (up to 12×16 inches), Full Back (up to 12×18 inches), Left/Right Sleeve logos, and inside neck brand labels. Multiple print positions can be combined on a single order.

Yes! That is one of our most popular and cost-effective solutions. On our 22-inch roll gang sheets, you can arrange dozens of different logos, neck labels, chest graphics, and sleeve designs on a single roll. There are no color limitations or per-graphic setup fees. You only pay for the total linear length of the gang roll.

We accommodate both small batch sample runs and high-volume commercial production. For DTF gang sheets, you can order from as little as 1 meter roll. For custom printed t-shirts and corporate merchandise, single prototype samples are available before committing to bulk runs of 50, 500, or 5,000+ units.

Standard production for approved DTF gang sheets and UV DTF decals is typically 24 to 48 hours. Finished custom t-shirt and bulk promotional merchandise production depends on order quantity (typically 3 to 5 business days). Expedited same-day dispatch from our New Delhi hub is available for urgent orders upon request.
