Tools that do the hard part
Not print-ready? We are right beside you
A krewe crest scanned off an old invitation, a pixelated festival mark, a busy background: none of it has to stop you. Iris DTF puts free artwork tools right in the store, from background removal to the drag-and-drop gang sheet builder, so getting a file ready is quick even if you have never done it before.
Open the design toolsGive a soft file a boost
The Iris AI Enhancer helps clean up and sharpen artwork before printing. Starting with a higher-quality file always gives the best result.

Getting your order
Fast production and shipping for Lafayette
Iris DTF prints every Lafayette order in its Richardson, TX shop and ships it out fast, with same-day printing on print-ready files placed before the cutoff. When parade season or a festival weekend is coming up, that head start matters. No minimums, no setup fees, one shirt or a full krewe roster.
Same-day production
Print-ready Lafayette orders placed before 2 PM CT go into the same-day production run. Orders after the cutoff enter the next production schedule.
Free shipping available
DTF transfer orders ship free by Ground from $75, and free by any method over $250. Custom apparel orders ship free by Ground over $250. Rates for smaller orders are calculated at checkout.
Rush production
IRIS PASS moves a Lafayette order to the front of the production queue, so an order placed after the 2 PM CT cutoff can still enter the same-day production run. Pair it with an expedited UPS or FedEx service when a parade date is close.

Every order is produced at our Richardson, Texas facility and shipped to Lafayette and across Acadiana.

Answers
Lafayette DTF printing questions
Does Iris DTF ship DTF transfers to Lafayette, LA?
Yes, Iris DTF ships DTF transfers to every Lafayette ZIP code, including 70501, 70503, 70506, 70507, and 70508. Every order prints at the Iris DTF facility at 801 Alpha Dr., Suite #113, Richardson, TX 75081. Free shipping is available on qualifying orders. Upload your artwork on the DTF Transfers by Size page to start.
How fast can a Lafayette order ship before a parade or festival weekend?
A print-ready Iris DTF order placed before 2 PM CT enters the same-day production run, and transit time to Lafayette then depends on the UPS or FedEx service selected at checkout. When a krewe parade, festival weekend, or ball is close, add IRIS PASS to hold the job on the same-day run and move it to the front of the production queue, then pick an expedited carrier service at checkout.
Which areas around Lafayette does Iris DTF serve?
Iris DTF ships to Lafayette and the surrounding Acadiana area, including Broussard, Scott, Youngsville, Carencro, Breaux Bridge, and New Iberia. Because every order ships from Richardson, TX, a krewe downtown and a food vendor in Breaux Bridge follow the same 2 PM CT cutoff. Start your order on the DTF Transfers by Size page.
Can a Lafayette krewe or festival crew order shirts with no minimum?
Yes. Iris DTF has no minimum order quantity, so a Lafayette krewe, festival crew, or community group can order one transfer to approve a design and then build a gang sheet for the full roster of riders and volunteers. Arrange every name and crest in the Gang Sheet Builder and pay for the sheet space used rather than a per-shirt setup fee. Tax-exempt organizations can apply through the Iris DTF tax exemption page.
What is a DTF transfer?
A DTF transfer is a full-color design printed onto a clear film, coated with adhesive powder, and heat-pressed onto a garment. Iris DTF transfers apply to cotton, polyester, blends, and more with no weeding and no pre-treatment, which holds dense purple, green, and gold carnival artwork without cracking. Pressing settings are listed on each Iris DTF product page. Order any size on the DTF Transfers by Size page.
Should a Lafayette krewe order by size or use a gang sheet?
Order by size when you have one design and know the dimensions you need, and use a gang sheet when you are printing a full krewe roster or a season of parade and ball designs. A gang sheet packs every design onto a single film and you pay for the space used, which lowers the cost per shirt across a large roster. Keep a 1/4 in gap between designs so every print cuts cleanly.
Can Iris DTF help prepare a krewe crest or festival artwork?
Yes. The Iris Background Remover strips the background off a krewe crest or festival logo and the Iris AI Enhancer sharpens a low-resolution file, both inside the Iris DTF store. For the sharpest print, upload vector art or a PNG at 300 DPI or higher with a transparent background. Open the Iris DTF design tools to prepare your file before ordering.
Can I order custom shirts for a Lafayette event without a heat press?
Yes. Iris DTF Custom Apparel arrives printed and finished, so a krewe captain, festival organizer, or restaurant owner with no heat press receives wearable shirts rather than transfer film. Choose a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or hoodie, upload your design, and Iris DTF prints and presses the garment before it ships. There is no minimum, so you can order a single custom shirt. Start on the Custom Apparel page.
What if a Lafayette customer has no design ready?
Use the Iris DTF Ready to Press catalog, which holds thousands of finished transfer designs across categories including Sports and Team Spirit, Religious and Inspirational, Teacher and Education, Family Roles, Awareness and Causes, and Holidays and Celebrations. Pick a design, choose your size, and press it onto your own garment. No artwork and no design software needed. Browse the Ready to Press designs to start.
