UV DTF Stickers – FAQs
What are UV DTF Stickers?
UV DTF Stickers are high-quality Ultra Violet (UV) printed decals with Direct-to-Film (DTF) technology, allowing easy transfer to hard surfaces like glass, metal, plastic, stone, and wood.
Without the use of heat, the design is transferred to any smooth surface after being printed on a special film. These stickers are perfect for bottles, packaging, electronics, and more because they are long-lasting, waterproof, and scratch-resistant. They feel high-end and colorful, but they adhere like decals.
Are UV DTF Stickers waterproof?
UV DTF stickers are waterproof, yes. UV-curable inks, which form a solid, sealed layer impervious to moisture, water, and other environmental conditions, are used in their printing. As a result, they are ideal for use on water bottles, bicycles, and packaging both indoors and outdoors. They are more resistant to fading and peeling thanks to their laminated surface.
Why are UV DTF Stickers better than printing directly on the surface?
- They provide sharper, more vibrant designs.
- No need for expensive printing setups.
- Easy application on different materials.
- Saves transportation costs by eliminating the need to send products for printing, which reduces risk of damage.
Can UV DTF Stickers be applied to soft surfaces?
While they may stick to soft surfaces, we do not recommend using them on soft materials like fabric, rubber, or silicone, as they are designed for hard surfaces.
They may peel or bond improperly if applied to soft materials. Other printing techniques, such as heat transfer vinyl (HTV), are better suited for softer surfaces like rubber or fabric.
How long do UV DTF Stickers last?
UV DTF stickers usually last one to two years, but with the right maintenance and application, they can last even longer. They are created using UV-cured inks that are impervious to moisture, fading, and scratches. They are perfect for both indoor and outdoor use because of their durability. Their lifespan may be somewhat shortened, though, by exposure to harsh chemicals or direct sunlight.

Can EP Metal Stickers be applied to soft surfaces?
EP (Electroplated metal stickers) are allowing easy transfer to hard surfaces like glass, metal, plastic, stone, and wood.
EP Metal Stickers are composed of stiff metallic materials that need a flat, hard surface to adhere properly, they are not the best choice for soft or flexible surfaces. They may cause poor sticking or bending issues when applied to soft materials like fabric, foam, or rubber. Use them on smooth, solid surfaces such as wood, metal, glass, or plastic for optimal results.
