About Golden DTF
The Gold Standard in DTF Transfers.
Built on Long Island. Shipped Everywhere.
Golden DTF started the way most good businesses do — not with a grand plan, but with a reputation that kept growing past the place it was built.
For years, On The Island Apparel has operated Long Island DTF Printing out of Long Island, New York. What began as a local shop serving the surrounding area became something more: a go-to source for print shops, Etsy sellers, and apparel brands who needed DTF transfers done right and done fast. Orders started arriving from Virginia, Texas, California — people who had found us online, taken a chance, and kept coming back. It became clear that what we were doing on the Island didn’t need to stay there.
The name came naturally. Our golden retriever has been part of the operation since the beginning — somewhere between the production table and the front door on any given day, loyal and completely unbothered by deadlines. Reliable in a way that sets a standard. That’s the kind of business we set out to build. The gold in Golden DTF isn’t about aesthetics. It’s a commitment: every order, every customer, every transfer should be exactly what we said it would be.
We launched Golden DTF to bring that same production quality to a national audience without compromising what made the local shop worth talking about. There are no mystery middlemen here. No warehouses full of transfers printed by someone else. Every order is produced in-house with the same equipment, the same inks, and the same standards we’ve held since day one.
What we make is straightforward: premium DTF transfers, UV-DTF transfers, custom gang sheets, and quality apparel blanks, all shipped nationwide with turnarounds that don’t make you plan around them. No minimums on most products. No setup fees. No surprises on delivery. Whether you are a solo seller building a Shopify storefront, a wholesale print shop adding DTF to your menu, or an in-house brand producing seasonal merch — we treat your order like our name is on it. Because it is.
Golden DTF is not trying to be the biggest name in the industry. We are trying to be the most reliable one. Consistent color. Consistent adhesion. Consistent communication. We are proud to be built on Long Island and proud to ship to all of it.

Same equipment. Same standards. A new front door for the rest of the country. Golden DTF opens to serve print shops, apparel sellers, and in-house brands from coast to coast.
The Golden Standard
Consistent results are not a marketing promise at Golden DTF. They are the operating requirement we hold ourselves to on every order.
Consistent Color
Every run is calibrated against the same color profiles. What you approve on your first order looks the same on your fiftieth. No drift. No surprises.
Consistent Adhesion
Production-grade inks and adhesive powder on commercial DTF printers. Transfers that hold through wash after wash — not just the first press.
Consistent Communication
Your order arrives when we say it will. You get a tracking number, not a processing status that never changes. We fix mistakes — no questions.
Three Things That Don’t Change
- 01
In-House Production
No mystery middlemen. No warehouses of transfers printed by someone else. Every order is produced in-house with the same equipment, the same inks, and the same standards we have held since day one.
- 02
Flat Pricing
No setup fees. No volume tiers to game. No quote forms. No minimums on most products. The price on the product page is what you pay — whether you order one transfer or a thousand.
- 03
American Made
We are a family-owned print shop on Long Island, New York. That is not a marketing line. It is the actual answer to the question of who makes your transfers.
