First-day-of-school photos are better with a shirt that says exactly what grade your kid is walking into. We've got a full lineup of grade-specific, ready-to-press DTF designs — here's how they break down and how to press one before the first bell.
Grade-Level Designs, 1st Through 5th
Each grade level — 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th — has its own cute, classroom-ready design, sized for a standard chest print and available from 4 to 12 inches. Browse the full lineup, along with matching teacher and classroom designs, in the Teacher & School DTF Transfers collection.
Sizing for Kids
For youth and toddler sizes, a mid-range transfer usually reads better than a full 12-inch print — it won't overwhelm a smaller chest area. If you're ordering the same design across multiple kid sizes, our DTF Transfer Size Guide has more detail on matching size to garment.
Ordering for a Whole Class
Teachers and room parents ordering a set for the whole class don't need to hit a minimum — order exactly as many as you need, or use the DTF Transfer Bundles collection for 5, 10, or 20 at a discounted per-unit price if everyone's getting the same design.
Don't Forget the Teacher
Back-to-school season is also teacher-gift season — our Teacher Gifts collection includes tumblers, mugs, and apparel designed specifically for the classroom crowd, and pairs naturally with a class order if you're coordinating both at once.
Pressing Them at Home
Every grade-level design presses the same way as the rest of our catalog — no special equipment needed beyond a household iron or heat press. If this is your first time pressing a DTF transfer, How to Apply a DTF Transfer at Home walks through it step by step, and our Temperature & Time Settings Guide has the exact heat and time to use.
However the first day goes, the shirt should hold up through the whole school year — see How to Wash and Care for DTF Transfer Apparel for keeping it looking sharp through weekly washes.
