Storage & Handling Best Practices

To ensure you get the best from your DTF adhesive powder, you must store it correctly in addition to printing correctly. Always keep your powder fully contained (using sealed glass jars, rigid plastic tubs, or resealable Mylar bags) to lessen the chance of moisture, dust and other possible contaminants against the powder's performance. Store powder in a dry and cool place, out of direct sunlight, and drastic heat changes.

Once DTF adhesive powder is opened, it will have a shelf-life of less than six months. Therefore, it is advisable to handle DTF hot melt powder promptly to avoid the shelf-life depletion which diminishes the powder's performance to provide strong adhesion, vibrant, long-lasting prints.
