UV DTF PU film heat transfer on clothes

PU Film Explained: The Secret to Soft, Stretchy Transfers If you've been exploring the world of custom apparel, especially with methods like UV DTF, you've likely come across the term "PU Film." It sounds technical, but understanding it is key to achieving the highest quality prints on fabric. In simple terms, PU Film (Polyurethane Film) is a thin, flexible plastic layer that acts as the carrier or transfer medium for your design. It's the "FT" in "DTF" – the Film that the design is printed onto before being heat-pressed onto a garment. But not all films are created equal. Here’s why PU Film is so special compared to other options like standard PET film.

PU Film vs. PET Film: A Quick Comparison

PU (polyurethane) film is more flexible, elastic, and durable with high impact absorption, making it ideal for applications like paint protection. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film is generally cheaper, more rigid, and offers better optical clarity, making it suitable for everyday uses like packaging and general-purpose protective films. The choice depends on the application's priorities, such as cost, durability, flexibility, and visual quality.
