Vantage Apparel is proud to announce the expansion of its Direct To Film (DTF) decoration services, tripling capacity with a new, state-of-the-art studio and offering nationwide coverage across all three of its US facilities.
With the addition of an 1,800 sq. ft., temperature-controlled DTF studio at its headquarters in Avenel, NJ, Vantage can now support thousands of placements per day—solidifying its position as a top-tier partner for high-volume and quick-turn apparel decoration. DTF is available across all three Vantage facilities: Avenel, NJ, St. Louis, MO, and Santa Ana, CA, enabling faster delivery and enhanced service nationwide.
In a recent article from PPAI, the rapid advancement of DTF technology has surpassed Direct To Garment (DTG) in both popularity and application. The superior versatility, quality and creative freedom offered by DTF make it a more attractive option for both decorators and distributors. Vantage introduced DTF mid-2023 and quickly became a top deco method. Today, DTF ranks as Vantage’s 3rd most popular decoration, behind embroidery and screen printing.
“DTF is fast and delivers incredible clarity and color,” said Rob Watson, CEO of Vantage Apparel. “By expanding our DTF operations, we’re making it easier than ever for customers to get high-quality, on-demand decoration with quick turn times—whether it’s for one piece or several hundred.”
Offering embroidery, laser etch and DTF on single-piece, on-demand orders, Vantage has become the leading supplier for webstore and program opportunities. Vantage’s nationwide DTF capabilities now give customers a reliable solution for peak periods like holiday ordering, drop ship programs and low minimum webstore fulfillment.
This strategic investment reinforces Vantage’s commitment to delivering the industry’s most expansive decoration options—under one roof, and across the country.
