Snuggle's web-to-print Direct to Film (DTF) platform is designed exclusively for the trade

Snuggle’s new DTF platform is transforming garment decoration — offering trade printers and resellers a fast, flexible, and equipment-free way to meet the surging demand for personalised apparel.

In the rapidly evolving world of garment decoration, staying ahead means embracing innovation without compromising on quality or efficiency.

Enter Snuggle DTF, a groundbreaking web-to-print Direct to Film (DTF) platform designed exclusively for the trade. This service empowers commercial printers and resellers to meet the growing demand for customised apparel without the need for significant equipment investments or workflow overhauls.

A legacy of growth and innovation
Founded in 2011, Snuggle has grown from humble beginnings into one of the UK's leading garment printing companies. Operating from a 3,700sqm facility in Peterborough, the company boasts a daily capacity of 15,000 Direct to Garment (DTG) prints and 10,000 A4 transfers, alongside robust embroidery services. This impressive growth is a testament to Snuggle's commitment to quality, innovation, and customer-centric solutions.

Simplifying DTF for the Trade
Snuggle DTF is tailored to meet the unique needs of trade professionals. The platform offers:

Easy web-to-print ordering for DTF transfers
No minimum order quantities, accommodating both one-offs and high-volume jobs
UK-based production ensuring fast turnaround times
High-quality technology delivering consistent, retail-grade results

By eliminating the need for equipment investment, training, or complex setup, Snuggle DTF allows businesses to expand their service offerings seamlessly.

Snuggle DTF's state-of-the-art factory is centrally located just off the A1

Meeting Market Demand
The UK garment decoration market is valued at approximately £185m, with customised printing accounting for 70 million T-shirts alone. As demand for personalised, on-demand apparel continues to rise, DTF technology has emerged as a flexible and scalable solution. Industry forecasts indicate that DTF is growing at over 40% annually across key metrics, reflecting its increasing adoption among creators, merch brands, agencies, and retail clients.

Empowering the Industry
Despite the advantages of DTF, many commercial printers have been hesitant to adopt the technology due to concerns about unfamiliarity, existing equipment investments, and workflow disruptions. Snuggle DTF addresses these challenges by offering production-grade transfers with zero technical overhead, enabling trade customers to add DTF services instantly and without risk.

A Partner in Progress
Snuggle’s dedication to supporting the garment decoration industry goes far beyond offering new technology. The company continues to enhance its operations and services to meet the evolving needs of trade customers — from improving production speed and consistency to expanding capacity and support. By combining competitive pricing with a customer-first mindset, Snuggle positions itself as a dependable partner for businesses looking to grow and adapt in a dynamic market.
