DESCRIPTION
CALCA DTF Metallic for Gangsheet
Make your designs pop with a premium metallic gold finish.
CALCA DTF Metallic delivers a bold, mirror‑like sheen that turns ordinary designs into statement pieces. Perfect for fashion branding, team logos, streetwear, and seasonal drops.
No white ink. No vinyl layering. Just easy, brilliant metallic transfers.
Unlike standard DTF, Metallic requires no white ink – yet it performs beautifully on both light and dark garments. Use your regular DTF ink and powder. No specialty supplies needed.
Our metallic film provides strong adhesion on cotton, polyester, and blends – with better stretch, longer wear, and easier application than standard transfers.
The “instant wow” up-seller.
That mirror-like shimmer sells itself - perfect for premium branding or any design that needs to stand out. Not convinced? Order a printed sample. Seeing the sheen in person closes the deal every time.

FILE GUIDELINES
File size limit: Max 150MB.
Resolution & format: 300 DPI, PNG with transparent background. (Non-transparent backgrounds will print as supplied.)
No mirrored images – our machine software handles automatically.
Exact dimensions – we will not resize your artwork. Up to 22 inches wide for gang sheets.
Avoid ultra-fine details that might get lost during transfer.
No trademarked images (Disney, fashion brands, etc.), screenshots, or watermarks. Such orders will not be printed.
Single image transfers (non-gang): We proportionally resize to fit the selected transfer size while preserving aspect ratio. For disproportionate sizing, contact us.
Sizing rule: Preserve original proportion. The longest side (width or height) determines the fit.
We cannot modify artwork – ensure all files are print-ready before submission.
Tips for Maximizing the Metallic Effect
- Use large bold areas of 4C black to show off the shine — metallic effects look best in high-density blocks, not fine lines.
- Avoid gradients or photo elements. Keep the artwork graphic.
- Sell the Shine: Let customers know this effect is built into the film — no extra foil needed!
