We’ve been busy behind the scenes looking into new materials and equipment —and we’re finally ready to spill the summer tea. From upgraded vinyl to new printing technology, our production floor just got a glow-up. Whether you're designing apparel, custom stickers, or product packaging, these updates bring more quality, more options, and more creative freedom.
Here’s everything new and improved at CarStickers.com:
New DTF Transfers Are Here
Let’s start with the game-changer: Direct to Film (DTF) transfers. We’re now offering high-quality DTF transfers that you can use at home to create stunning custom designs on fabric—without needing fancy equipment.
DTF offers:
- Bold, vibrant color
- Crisp detail, even in small designs
- A soft hand feel that’s smooth to the touch
- Long-lasting durability through washes and wear
They're perfect for custom t-shirts, hats, tote bags, hoodies, and more. You can order transfers at custom sizes and they work on a variety of materials, not only cotton. You can adhere them to polyester, sweatpants, canvas bags, and so much more! All you need is heat. A heat press is the quickest way to do it but if you don’t own one, do not fear - an iron works too!
More Fabric, More Options
Thanks to DTF, we will be expanding our apparel options —hello, more fabric types, fits, and finishes. This means you’ll see more customizable clothing choices in your favorite styles.
What this means for you:
- More fabric types (including softer blends and trendy cuts).
- Better-quality prints with longer wear. Direct to film transfers last up to 100 gentle washes!
- On-trend apparel options ready for full customization.
Stay tuned - our fabric options will be growing all summer long!
Our Standard White Vinyl Got an Upgrade
We’ve improved our classic standard white vinyl—and trust us, you're going to love it!
Here’s what’s new:
- Brighter white for a cleaner, sharper base.
- Reduced shrinkage for longer-lasting stick. Great for anyone ordering sticker sheets or kiss cut stickers.
- Same flexibility and durability you expect.
Plus, it still comes with the premium lamination you know and love:
- Scratch-resistant.
- Weatherproof.
- UV protection.
All the performance—now even better.
Cast Vinyl Stickers: Premium Performance, Built to Last
Cast Vinyl Stickers are made from high-quality cast vinyl and offer a number of benefits over our traditional "calendared" vinyl stickers. Because cast vinyl is made by solidifying liquid PVC polymer, rather than rolling and heat pressing PVC, it ends up becoming a thinner yet more durable material comparatively.
While often used for large applications like car wraps, cast vinyl works perfectly well for smaller applications like custom stickers.
Try Before You Commit: Samples Now Available

Why These Updates Matter
All of these changes are built around one goal: making it easier for you to create awesome, long-lasting custom products. We’ve upgraded our tools and materials to give you better results, more flexibility, and next-level print quality—without changing what you already love about us.
It’s our way of staying creative, innovative, and always one step ahead for our customers.
