20 Products You Can Launch with DTF Transfers This Quarter

As a creative brand owner, you're always thinking about the next step. You’ve mastered the t-shirt, but now you’re asking: "What else can I create?" Expanding your product catalog is the key to reaching new customers, increasing order value, and growing your business. The good news is, you don’t need a new printing method to do it.

The incredible versatility of DTF transfers means you can brand a massive range of products with the same high-quality, full-color designs you’re already using. Because DTF works on cotton, polyester, blends, canvas, and more, your creative potential is nearly limitless.

If you’re ready to move beyond the basic tee, this guide is for you. We’ve compiled a list of 20 profitable products you can launch this quarter using the power and flexibility of custom DTF transfers.

Core Apparel Essentials

Let’s start with the basics. These are high-demand items that every apparel brand should consider offering.

1. Hoodies & Sweatshirts
A natural next step from t-shirts. Use a large back design, a classic chest print, or a subtle sleeve logo. Fleece and cotton/poly blends are perfect for DTF.

2. Long-Sleeve T-Shirts
Ideal for cooler weather or as a layering piece. The sleeves offer a unique placement opportunity for text, logos, or repeating patterns.

3. Tank Tops & Muscle Shirts
Perfect for gym-focused brands, summer collections, or festival wear. DTF transfers stretch with ribbed and athletic fabrics without cracking.

4. Crop Tops
A trendy and popular item for younger audiences. Test different designs and placements to see what resonates with your customer base.

Accessories and Everyday Carry

Accessories are high-margin products that customers love to add to their orders. They are also perfect for using up extra space on your gang sheets.

5. Tote Bags
Canvas and cotton tote bags are a fantastic canvas for bold, colorful designs. They make great promotional items, grocery bags, or everyday carry-alls.

6. Hats (Trucker, Dad Hats, Beanies)
While curved surfaces can be tricky, a hat press or a heat press pillow makes applying DTF to hats straightforward. A small, crisp logo can look incredibly professional.

7. Aprons
Target craftspeople, chefs, baristas, or anyone who loves to get creative (and a little messy). They offer a large, flat surface perfect for detailed designs.

8. Koozies
These are perfect impulse buys and event giveaways. You can fit dozens of koozie-sized designs on a single gang sheet, making them extremely profitable.

Kids & Baby Apparel

The children's market is massive. Parents and gift-givers are always looking for cute, unique, and personalized clothing.

9. Toddler T-Shirts
Use playful, colorful designs. Sizing down your most popular adult designs can also be a big hit for "mommy and me" or "daddy and me" sets.

10. Baby Bodysuits (Onesies)
A staple for any baby collection. Think clever sayings, adorable graphics, or custom designs for baby showers. The soft cotton is perfect for DTF transfers.

11. Youth Hoodies
Kids love comfortable, cool hoodies. This is a great way to expand your brand to a younger audience or offer matching family sets.

Teams, Events, and Uniforms

DTF is a game-changer for small-batch custom orders, making it perfect for local groups and events.

12. Team Jerseys & Spirit Wear
Easily add logos to the front and names/numbers to the back of polyester jerseys. DTF is far more cost-effective than screen printing for small teams.

13. Company & Staff Uniforms
Create professional-looking polos, button-downs, or tees for local businesses. The full-color capability allows for perfect logo reproduction.

14. Event Merchandise
Printing for a family reunion, charity 5K, or a local festival? Texas Transfers and Designs allow for fast turnaround on event-specific merchandise.

15. Band Merchandise
Bands need merch fast for shows. DTF allows them to order small batches of various designs without a huge upfront investment.

Gifts & Home Goods

Think outside the wardrobe. Many fabric-based items around the home can be customized for the gift-giving market.

16. Pillow Covers
Decorative throw pillow covers are a popular home decor item. Offer personalized designs, seasonal graphics, or abstract art.

17. Kitchen Towels
Custom kitchen towels with witty sayings, beautiful patterns, or family names make for fantastic housewarming or holiday gifts.

18. Fabric Bookmarks
A unique and simple product for book lovers. A small strip of canvas or heavy fabric can be easily pressed with a small design.

19. Pet Bandanas
Don’t forget the furry friends! Pet owners love to buy stylish accessories for their dogs. This is a fun and growing market.

20. Christmas Stockings & Tree Skirts
During the holidays, personalized fabric goods are in high demand. Use DTF to add names, monograms, or festive designs to stockings and tree skirts.

How to Launch Your New Products Efficiently

The beauty of this list is that you can produce many of these items from a single order. By using a mixed gang sheet, you can print designs for t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, and koozies all at once. This strategy lets you test new products with minimal risk and investment.

Plan your next collection, design your graphics, and then arrange them on a gang sheet. Add your main designs, then fill the gaps with smaller logos for hats, branding for neck tags, and graphics for accessories. This is the most cost-effective way to get a wide variety of DTF transfers ready for pressing.
