DTF Supplies Bundles: Ink + Powder + Film in One Order
Running a DTF printing setup means keeping three essentials ready: DTF ink, DTF transfer film, and DTF hot-melt powder.
Buying each supply separately can make it harder to keep your materials compatible and your inventory organized. An all-in-one DTF supplies bundle brings the core materials together in one order, making it easier to prepare for regular printing or stock up for production.
At DTF Gears, our DTF supply bundles are available in four configurations: Eco-P-12, Eco-P-13, Premium-P-13, and Premium-P-24.
The right choice depends on your printer setup, printing volume, and how much film, ink, and powder you want to keep available.
What Is a DTF Supplies Bundle?
A DTF supplies bundle combines the main consumables required for direct-to-film printing:
- DTF ink for printing the artwork
- DTF transfer film for receiving the printed design
- DTF hot-melt powder for creating the adhesive layer
- Different bundle sizes or quantities depending on the package
Instead of purchasing an ink bottle, film pack, and powder separately, a DTF ink powder film bundle lets you purchase the supplies together.
This can be particularly useful for home printers, small print shops, apparel businesses, and commercial DTF operations that need a convenient way to replenish supplies.
What Do You Need for DTF Printing?
The DTF printing process relies on several consumables working together.
1. DTF Ink
DTF ink is used to print the artwork onto transfer film. CMYK inks create the color image, while white ink provides the foundation needed for vibrant transfers on garments.
2. DTF Transfer Film
The artwork is printed onto specially designed DTF film. The film holds the image while the adhesive powder is applied and cured.
3. DTF Hot-Melt Powder
Hot-melt powder is applied to the printed film before curing. Once heated, it forms the adhesive layer that allows the design to bond to the garment.
For a deeper explanation of powder types and selection, see our DTF hot-melt powder guide.
4. A Compatible DTF Printer
Your printer determines which ink system and consumables are appropriate for your setup. Always check printer compatibility before purchasing replacement supplies.
Why Buy an All-in-One DTF Bundle?
An all in one DTF bundle can simplify purchasing by combining multiple consumables into one package.
Keep essential supplies together
Instead of tracking separate orders for ink, film, and powder, a bundle gives you a single supply package to manage.
Reduce the chance of running out of one material
Running out of film while you still have ink and powder can interrupt production. A bundle helps you replenish multiple essentials together.
Choose based on production requirements
Smaller bundles can make sense for lower-volume printing, while larger configurations can be more suitable for businesses with greater ongoing demand.
Simplify repeat purchasing
Once you identify the bundle that works with your printer and production requirements, reordering becomes easier.
Compare Our 4 DTF Supplies Bundles
The four bundle configurations are designed to give DTF users different supply options rather than forcing every customer into the same package.

|---|---|---|
| Eco-P-12 | Eco configuration | Lower-volume / regular DTF users |
| Eco-P-13 | Eco configuration | Users needing a different supply quantity |
| Premium-P-13 | Premium configuration | More demanding DTF workflows |
| Premium-P-24 | Larger premium configuration | Higher-volume production |
Always verify the current product specifications and included quantities on the individual product page before ordering.

Eco-P-13 DTF Supplies Bundle

Which DTF Bundle Fits Your Printer?
Before purchasing a DTF bundle kit with film and powder, check three things.
1. Your printer
Confirm that the DTF ink is appropriate for your specific printer and printhead configuration.
2. Your production volume
Think about how frequently you print.
Occasional printing: A smaller bundle may be sufficient.
Regular printing: A medium configuration may provide a more convenient supply level.
High-volume printing: A larger bundle can make more sense for maintaining inventory.
3. Your preferred supply configuration
Compare the Eco and Premium options based on the quantities and products included in each current bundle.
DTF Supplies for Starting a Printing Business
If you're building a DTF apparel business, consumables are an important part of your operating costs.
Your supply planning should account for:
- DTF ink consumption
- Transfer film usage
- Hot-melt powder consumption
- Cleaning and maintenance supplies
- Garment blanks
- Packaging
- Equipment and replacement parts
Rather than buying supplies randomly, establishing a repeatable replenishment system can make inventory management easier.

DTF Bundle vs Buying Supplies Separately
Both approaches can work.
Buying separately
Buying individual supplies gives you more flexibility to select specific brands, quantities, or formulations.
Buying a bundle
A bundle simplifies purchasing by putting the primary consumables together.
For customers who already know which ink, film, and powder work with their setup, a bundle can be a convenient way to replenish supplies.
What Should You Check Before Ordering?
Before purchasing a DTF supplies bundle, check:
Printer compatibility
Make sure the ink is suitable for your printer.
Film size
Confirm that the transfer film matches your printing setup.
Powder requirements
Check that the hot-melt powder is appropriate for your intended garment and curing process.
Included quantities
Don't compare bundles by the product name alone. Compare the actual quantities included.
Production volume
Choose a bundle size that matches your expected consumption.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a DTF supplies bundle?
A DTF supplies bundle is designed to combine core DTF consumables such as ink, transfer film, and hot-melt powder. The exact quantities depend on the individual bundle.
What is an all-in-one DTF bundle?
An all-in-one DTF bundle packages multiple DTF printing consumables together, making it easier to purchase essential supplies in one order.
Can I use any DTF ink with my printer?
Not necessarily. DTF ink compatibility depends on your printer, printhead, ink system, and configuration. Always verify compatibility before changing ink.
Should I buy Eco or Premium?
Compare the current contents, quantities, and intended usage of each configuration against your own printing requirements. There isn't one bundle that is appropriate for every DTF setup.
Is a DTF bundle useful for a small print business?
Yes. Bundling essential consumables can simplify inventory management for businesses that regularly use DTF ink, film, and powder.

Yes. The standard DTF transfer workflow uses transfer film to receive the printed image and hot-melt adhesive powder to create the bonding layer before the transfer is pressed onto the garment.
