Non-custom DTF transfers—also known as Singles, Ready-to-Press Transfers, Pre-made Transfers, Pre-designed Transfers, or Off-the-Shelf Transfers—are individually designed heat-transfer prints that come ready for immediate application. Rather than uploading or customizing a graphic, buyers simply browse a catalog of pre-created designs, select their preferred image, choose size and quantity, and complete the purchase. This approach removes the need for design setup or layout work, making it an exceptionally fast and convenient option for end customers looking for high-quality DTF prints without the hassle of customization.

What sets custom singles apart is that they attract customers to DTF transfer shops because you can offer unique graphics that no other print shops sell. This allows sellers to build a strong brand by offering personalized solutions that perfectly meet their customers’ needs and vision.

I Don’t Have My Own Graphics but Want to Offer Products to Clients—What Should I Do?

If you’re not creating your own graphics for ready-to-press transfers and don’t want to hire a freelance designer, you still have options for selling non-custom singles. Many platforms, such as Etsy and eBay, offer libraries of pre-made graphics that you can license for commercial use. These designs can often be adapted to your specific needs and then sold.

Why Selling Non-Custom Singles is Profitable: Pricing Insights

When looking at prices per square inch, there’s a stark contrast: Non-Custom Singles generally fall between 8¢ and 25¢, while Gang Sheets are a much cheaper alternative at 1.52¢ to 5¢. This significant price gap can reach over 1370% for Non-Custom Singles compared to Gang Sheets from the same vendor. Across various examples, the average price difference is more than 400%, meaning customers might spend 5 to 5 times more for the exact same print area if they choose individual transfers. Nevertheless, the sheer convenience of ordering and skipping layout preparation ensures Non-Custom Singles remain a popular choice for customers making smaller purchases.

Adding these types of products to your Shopify store is actually a straightforward process that quickly pays off. After the initial setup—which only requires a one-time effort to add product photos, descriptions, and pricing—selling becomes exceptionally profitable and, with the Admin Gang Sheet Builder tool, essentially maintenance-free. Once configured, the entire system lets you focus on promotion and customer acquisition, while your store generates revenue almost automatically.
