How Our Products Are Made
At BB Can Make That LLC, we use a variety of professional printing and crafting methods to create high-quality, custom products. Here’s a simple breakdown of the main techniques we use so you know exactly what you’re getting:
DTF (Direct-to-Film) Printing
DTF is a versatile, high-quality printing process where designs are printed onto a special film and then transferred to fabric using heat and pressure.
Why we love it:
- Works on almost any fabric
- Produces vibrant, detailed designs
- Durable and long-lasting
- Great for full-color prints on apparel
Sublimation
Sublimation uses heat to permanently dye the design into the material. This works best on polyester-based fabrics or specially coated items like mugs and keychains.
Why we love it:
- No feel to the print – it becomes part of the item
- Fade-resistant and long-lasting
- Perfect for white/light-colored surfaces
HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl)
HTV is a type of vinyl cut into shapes or letters and then heat-pressed onto items like shirts, bags, or hats.
Why we love it:
- Great for bold, solid-colored designs
- Good for personalization like names or numbers
- Can add texture or sparkle with specialty vinyls (like glitter or metallic)
UV DTF (Ultra-Violet Direct-to-Film)
UV DTF uses UV light to cure printed designs onto a transfer sheet, which can then be applied to hard surfaces like tumblers, cups, signs, and more.
Why we love it:
- Stickers feel like they’re printed directly on the surface
- Waterproof and scratch-resistant
- Adds a professional finish to non-fabric items
