The DTF Transfer Bundles collection at Marie Gems holds 78 ready-to-press DTF bundle packs, from an $8 two-pack to $18 five-packs. Each pack is a set of different 12x12 designs in one theme, and the bundles are transfers, not finished shirts. Five of them are Christmas sets you can press this month.
I run Marie Gems, a DTF transfer shop in Wichita, Kansas, with sizes from 4" to 12", no minimum order and more than 500 orders shipped. I print every transfer myself, in house. A bundle pack is my answer to the person who wants several matching designs without picking them one at a time, so this post goes through what is in the collection and what each pack size really saves.
What is in the DTF Transfer Bundles collection?
The DTF Transfer Bundles collection holds 78 bundles in four pack sizes, and 66 of them are five-packs. The collection page says bundle sizes vary with the number of matching designs available, so every pack stays consistent instead of being padded with unrelated artwork.
| Pack size | Bundles | Price | Per transfer | Singles at $4.00 each |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5-pack | 66 | $18 | $3.60 | $20.00, so you save $2 |
| 4-pack | 8 | $15 | $3.75 | $16.00, so you save $1 |
| 3-pack | 2 | $11 | $3.67 | $12.00, so you save $1 |
| 2-pack | 2 | $8 | $4.00 | $8.00, so you save nothing |
The themes are broad. Halloween and spooky sets are the biggest group at 29 listings, and there are also six teacher bundles, four Class of 2027 bundles, funny taco, capybara, cat and dad humor sets, mom life, book lover, game day, camping, western, nurse and faith packs. The camping DTF transfers post covers one of them in detail.
Which DTF bundle packs are for Christmas?
Five bundles are Christmas sets: Christmas Volume 1, Christmas Volume 2, Christmas Curated Mix 8, Retro Christmas and Christmas Book Lover Curated Mix 2. Four are $18 five-packs and the book lover set is a $15 four-pack. Here is what the listings name inside the ones I checked.
- Christmas Volume 1 5-Pack, $18: includes Dear Santa Just Bring Coffee, Dear Santa It Wasn't Me and Santa's Favorite Hot Mess.

Is a DTF bundle pack cheaper than buying singles?
Yes, but only by $1 to $2 a pack, so a bundle is about variety more than discount. A 5-pack at $18 saves $2 against five $4.00 singles. It costs the same as ordering five transfers of one 12" design, which is $18.00, so the bundle gives you five different designs for the price of five copies of one. The two 2-packs, Reading Capybara and Cherry Bow at $8 each, equal two singles at $4.00, so buy those for the pairing.
The listings say shirts, garments and digital files are not included. For other counts of one design, my price comparison of single, 5-pack and 20-pack orders has the math.
What size are DTF bundle packs, and how do I press them?
Every bundle in the collection is 12x12, which my size guide calls the full-size option for larger adult shirt and apparel designs. The guide also notes that the listed size is the maximum design dimension, so a 12" transfer is not necessarily a square. Press at 320°F for 15 seconds with firm, even pressure and cold peel, as in my pressing guide. The bundle listings say the transfers work on cotton, polyester and cotton/poly blends in light or dark colors.
Which DTF bundle pack should I buy?
Pick the pack by who is wearing the shirts. Five different designs for five people is the 5-pack at $18, and one design for a whole group is better as a 10-transfer order at $34.00 for 12". My post on making five different funny shirts from one $18 bundle shows the first plan, and my Christian DTF transfers how-to builds a matching set of faith shirts. For a design you cannot find, upload your own on the Custom Ready-to-Press DTF Transfer listing.
