Bear Transfers — UV DTF Upload
Upload Your Print-Ready UV DTF Sticker Sheet
Already have a print-ready UV DTF sticker sheet? This is the fast lane. Upload your finished artwork exactly as you laid it out, and we print it on premium UV DTF material — no builder, no re-sizing, no surprises. Pricing starts at $6.17/ft, with no minimum and no setup fee.
UV DTF is a peel-and-stick transfer that needs absolutely no heat — no press, no iron, no curing step. Just peel, position, and burnish onto hard surfaces like tumblers, cups, glass, wood, metal, and phone cases. The finish is waterproof and durable, so your designs survive everyday handling and washing. New to the format? Our guide on what UV DTF is breaks down exactly how it works.
Because you control the layout, this upload product is built for makers who already gang their designs in their own software. Not sure how to arrange a sheet efficiently? The gang sheet calculator helps you plan your feet before you upload.
Your File, Printed Exactly as You Built It
When you upload, we honor your layout — placement, spacing, and sizing all come through as designed. Send a print-ready UV DTF sticker sheet (a transparent PNG or PDF at 300 DPI works best) and skip the online builder entirely. It's the quickest path for shops and creators who already prep artwork in Illustrator, Photoshop, or Canva.
No Heat, Waterproof, Sticks to Hard Surfaces
UV DTF skips the heat press completely — peel, stick, and burnish in seconds. The bonded finish is waterproof and scratch-resistant, making it perfect for tumblers, cups, glass, wood, metal, and phone cases. Unlike fabric transfers, these stickers wrap around curved, rigid surfaces and stay put through daily use.

UV DTF FAQ
What file format should I upload for UV DTF?
Aim for a print-ready transparent PNG or a high-resolution PDF at 300 DPI, sized to your ordered width. Keep artwork on a clear background with a small gap between elements so each sticker cuts cleanly. New to sheet layout? Our guide on what a gang sheet is walks you through it.
Do I need a heat press for UV DTF?
No — UV DTF requires zero heat. You simply peel the printed sticker off its backing, position it on a clean hard surface, then burnish firmly and remove the top transfer film. There's no press, iron, or curing step involved, which makes it beginner-friendly and ideal for items you could never heat.
What surfaces do these UV DTF stickers work on?
UV DTF is designed for hard, non-fabric surfaces: tumblers, cups, glass, ceramic, wood, metal, acrylic, and phone cases. It won't adhere to fabric or stretchy items. For the most durable, waterproof bond, apply to a smooth, clean, dry surface and press out any air as you burnish it down.
How is UV DTF priced, and is there a minimum?
Pricing starts at $10.50 for a single foot and drops to $6.17/ft on the longest sheets, billed by the length of your uploaded sheet, with no minimum order and no setup fee. Because you gang multiple designs onto one sheet, you get the lowest cost per sticker. Ship time is fast, too — most orders ship within 24 hours, Monday through Friday.
How durable and waterproof are the finished stickers?
Once burnished, UV DTF forms a waterproof, scratch-resistant bond that holds up to daily handling and hand-washing. For the longest life on cups and tumblers, hand-wash rather than running them through the dishwasher, and avoid long soaking. Applied correctly to a clean surface, the print stays vivid and firmly stuck.
