From Design to Press, Our DTF Process
At Southmade Threads, every project moves through a refined production workflow that prioritises accuracy, speed, and professional finishing. We print vibrant artwork onto specialised film, apply adhesive powder evenly, cure each transfer carefully, and press onto garments for flawless results. This controlled process ensures strong adhesion, excellent stretch, and wash-resistant performance across every fabric type.
