Glow-In-The-Dark DTF Transfers

Make your designs shine even when the lights go out. Our glow transfers create striking effects that capture attention day and night.

What You Get

Upload your design and watch it transform into something magical. We apply transparent glow coating over your entire design, creating bright green luminescence in dark conditions. Your lighter areas glow more intensely while darker sections provide subtle contrast. The result adds depth and dimension that makes your design truly stand out.

How It Works

Send us your artwork and we add our special glow coating. During daylight, your design looks normal with vibrant colors. When darkness falls, the magic begins. Your transfer glows with bright green light that fades gradually over time. Charge it again under any light source.

Perfect For

Create eye-catching safety apparel for night workers. Design Halloween costumes that glow spookily. Make concert shirts that shine under blacklights. Build emergency clothing for outdoor activities. Design kids' pajamas with glowing characters. Create unique promotional items that 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.

What makes the transfers glow? 

We apply a special phosphorescent coating over your entire design during printing. This coating absorbs light energy and releases it slowly as a bright green glow in dark conditions.

How long does the glow effect last? 

The glow lasts 2-4 hours after charging under light for 5-10 minutes. The effect gradually fades but recharges unlimited times. The coating stays effective for years with proper care.

What color does the glow appear? 

All glow transfers emit bright green light regardless of your design colors. During daylight, your design shows normal colors. In darkness, the entire design glows green with varying intensity.

Do I need special artwork for glow transfers? 

No special artwork needed. We apply glow coating to any design you send. However, designs with good contrast between light and dark areas show the glow effect most dramatically.

How do I charge the glow effect? 

Expose your transfer to any light source for 5-10 minutes. Sunlight, room lights, or even phone flashlights work. Brighter lights charge faster and create stronger, longer-lasting glow.
