Big Water, Michigan roots
Named for the lakes. Built for the long haul.
Big Water Print Co. was started in Belding, Michigan, a short drive northeast of Grand Rapids, by people who spent years pressing other suppliers' transfers and wishing they were better. So we bought the best equipment we could find, tested every film and powder on the market, and built a website we actually wanted to use.
Today we ship transfers to shops, schools, teams, and brands across North America, from Grand Rapids and West Michigan to both coasts, and every order still gets looked at by a real person before it prints.
Direct-to-film (DTF) transfers are full-color designs printed onto a special film, coated with a hot-melt adhesive powder, and cured. You press the transfer onto a garment with a heat press and peel away the film, leaving a soft, stretchy, incredibly durable print. No weeding, no cutting, and it works on cotton, polyester, blends, and more, light or dark.
How does ordering work?
Upload each graphic, tell us the printed size and how many you need, and we lay everything out on a 30.5″ wide gang sheet for you. You pay for the length of film your order actually needs, so you never have to build a sheet yourself.
What's a gang sheet and how is it priced?
A gang sheet is one continuous run of 30.5″ wide transfer film with many designs on it. We price by the square inch of film used: sheet width × sheet length × your rate. Our estimator on the pricing page predicts the length from your graphics' sizes and quantities. The minimum sheet is 50″ long; there's no maximum.
Is there a minimum order?
Every order runs on at least a 30.5″ × 50″ sheet. That's roughly 24 full-size 11″ × 14″ prints or well over a hundred left-chest logos, so most orders clear it easily. If yours doesn't, add more graphics to the same order at no extra cost until the sheet is full.
Do you offer volume pricing?
Yes. Shops and brands with consistent volume get a negotiated per-square-inch rate that's applied automatically to every order on their account. Reach out through the contact page to talk numbers.
