Introduction:
When sourcing DTF film for mass production, understanding film coating technology can give you a significant advantage. As a leading DTF film manufacturer in China, Verytack has invested heavily in research and development to ensure the highest quality coating for our film rolls.
In this article, we will walk you through the coating process and why it is crucial for transfer quality, adhesion, and durability in high-volume DTF printing.
1️⃣ What is DTF Film Coating?
DTF film coating refers to the specialized layers applied to the surface of the film that ensure:
Smooth transfer
High adhesion
Stable ink absorption

The coating layer is essential to ensure that the ink from your DTF printer properly adheres to the film and can be transferred onto the fabric in a high-quality manner.
2️⃣ The Importance of Coating Uniformity
Uniform coating ensures that the ink absorption is even across the entire sheet, resulting in:
Consistent color output
No ink bleeding
Stable transfer performance

Uneven coating can cause issues like poor adhesion or ink bleeding, which results in lower quality prints and wasted materials.
At Verytack, we use precision coating technology to ensure that every roll of DTF film meets the highest standards.
3️⃣ Types of Coatings Used in DTF Film
There are several types of coatings that may be used, depending on the type of print job and film thickness. At Verytack, we use double matte coating and anti-static treatments to ensure optimal performance in high-speed printing systems.
single matte Coating: Ensures a non-reflective surface that makes colors pop.
double matte Coating: Provides a shiny finish that enhances color saturation and vibrancy, ideal for certain types of garments.
Anti-Static Coating: Helps prevent static electricity, ensuring smooth feeding and no film curling.

Each type of coating is designed to perform under different conditions to give you the best possible print quality for your needs.
4️⃣ How Coating Affects DTF Film Performance
The coating on DTF film impacts several factors:
1. Ink Adhesion
A strong, stable coating ensures that the ink adheres firmly to the film, preventing smudging or fading during transfer.
2. Transfer Quality
The smoothness and quality of the coating impact how cleanly the design transfers to the garment. Poor coating can lead to distorted or blurry designs.
3. Durability
Proper coating increases the wash resistance and long-term durability of the print.
