Build Glow-In-The-Dark DTF Transfers

Create your own glowing designs with our easy builder tool. Design text that shines bright green in darkness and looks normal during the day.

What You Get

Design custom glow transfers exactly how you want them. Create text that transforms from regular colors in daylight to bright green luminescence in darkness. Your transfers come with professional glow coating applied during printing. Each design charges under any light source and glows for hours in dark conditions.

How It Works

Use our design builder to create your glow transfer. Add your text, choose fonts, pick colors, and arrange your layout. We apply a special phosphorescent coating over your entire design during printing. In daylight, your design shows normal colors. When darkness falls, everything glows bright green.

Perfect For

Design safety shirts with company names that glow. Create Halloween costumes with spooky, glowing text. Build concert merchandise that shines under blacklights. Make emergency apparel for outdoor workers. Design kids' pajamas with glowing messages. Create unique promotional items people remember.

Follow these steps to get perfect glow transfers every time.

Step 1: Position Your Design. Place your glow transfer where you want it on the garment. Make sure it lies flat before pressing. You can press across seams on hats and shirt sides. Use heat-resistant tape on curved surfaces to prevent shifting.

Step 2: Press and Peel. Set your heat press to 310°F with medium to high pressure. Press for 12 seconds using parchment paper or a silicone cover to protect your garment. Test one piece first to find your perfect settings.

Wait a few seconds, then peel the film. If parts don't stick, lay it back down and press again with more pressure and heat. Add 15°F increments until the transfer sticks completely. Repeated pressing won't damage glow transfers.

If your garment scorches, reduce pressure first. If scorching continues, keep lower pressure and reduce heat by 10-15°F. Practice helps you find the right settings for different materials.

Step 3: Final Press for Best Results. After peeling the film, cover your glow design with parchment paper and press for 15 seconds. This final press improves durability, makes the transfer softer, and reduces shine. This step ensures your glow effect lasts longer.

Care Instructions 

Wash inside out in cold water for best glow longevity. Dry on low heat or hang dry. Standard washing works fine, but gentle settings make glow transfers last longer. The glow effect recharges with each exposure to light.

Can I use different fonts for each text line? 

Yes, our builder lets you mix different fonts in the same design. You can use bold fonts for main text and script fonts for accent lines. Each text element can have its own font, size, and color.

Do thin fonts glow as well as thick fonts?

Thick, bold fonts glow more dramatically than thin fonts. The glow coating works on all fonts, but chunky letters create more visible light. Choose bold or decorative fonts for maximum glow impact.

What happens if I choose dark colors in the builder? 

Your design shows your chosen colors during daylight, then glows bright green in darkness. Dark colors like black or navy create subtle glow areas, while light colors glow more intensely. This contrast adds depth to your design.

How many text lines can I add to my design? 

You can add as many text lines as fit within your selected size. The builder helps you arrange multiple lines and adjust spacing. Most designs work well with 2-4 text lines for good readability.

Can I preview how my design will glow? 

The builder shows your daylight appearance with all your chosen colors. All areas will glow bright green in darkness, with lighter areas glowing more intensely than darker sections. Think of it as a green version of your design.
