DTF Garment Kit Layout
Film, powder, and press rhythm for garment decorators who need a calm first week.
Bench Footprint for a DTF Start
The DTF Garment Kit is picked for South African work benches, not global showrooms. Place the film roll to your left edge, close to the powder tray. Keep your powder jar within arm's reach but never over the film. The press sits at the centre back, clamshell or flat, with a minimum 700 mm width and 450 mm depth clear. Your lint roller and curing cue go up front for easy grab during each batch. No lifts or loose ends, just a practical, reachable space for small runs.

Tray Map and Storage Clarity
Lay the powder tray directly alongside the press working zone, with the jar docked right behind it. The storage sleeve for the film goes on a shelf above the bench if possible. In humid coastal areas, store powder in sealed containers high off cold floors. On the Highveld, check the powder before each shift since the jar can breathe in dry air. The press cloth and temp card both park in a labelled cup near the front edge, to avoid mix-ups when you're cycling through jobs.
Power Placement and Safety
Set the press up on stable 220 V power. Run the lead behind the bench, never trapping it under the powder tray or film sleeve. Keep a double socket mounted above bench level, not underfoot. Check cord integrity weekly and never run multiple heating tools on the same trip. It's common to double-check the press switch in the first week because everyone forgets once.
The powder tray and jar do not require direct power but clear the wiring path to stop spills and dust. A quick wipe each day keeps powder from drifting into switches or extension blocks.
Ready for the Week Ahead
With press, powder and film in tight order, the DTF Garment Kit layout gives new decorators a calm path for early batches. Your space matches the batch flow, from left to right, without overlap or crowding. Each item has a home for security and cleaning at the end of the shift. Organise your tray, power and storage on day one and you save hours by week’s end.
