Founded in 1986, Dae Ha Co., Ltd. is a leading Korean manufacturer and global supplier of heat transfer films with over 500 colors and patterns, as well as 100% domestically developed and OEKO-TEX® certified DTF Films. All products are manufactured with the latest technology inside ISO Class 1,000 clean rooms, and actively supplied to domestic and overseas markets through an extensive network of distributors and agents. Dae Ha prioritizes providing consistent product quality and excellent customer service.

Dae Ha has specialized in producing Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV), which can be heat pressed onto T-shirts and fabrics for decoration. The company actively sells through a global network of distributors and agents, and has strengthened its brand reputation by establishing local operations such as Dae Ha US and Dae Ha Europe through joint ventures with partners in the U.S. and Europe.

In 2023, Dae Ha launched its proprietary DTF Film, produced using its unique coating and release liner technologies, and now supplies it worldwide. In a DTF market that has been dominated by Chinese suppliers, Dae Ha’s 100% Korean-made DTF Film holds the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification and is recognized for its quality and performance. It is receiving strong support from DTF printer distributors and printing companies as a trusted “Made in Korea” solution.

While Dae Ha has traditionally focused on overseas exports, the company has identified the growing domestic demand for DTF printing and DTF Films, and will officially showcase its Dae Ha DTF Film to local businesses at K-PRINT 2024. By offering a domestically produced alternative, Dae Ha aims to address common pain points such as inconsistent quality and delayed delivery often experienced with imported Chinese products, providing a smart solution for Korean DTF printing professionals and buyers who need high-quality Korean-made DTF Film.

Dae Ha’s DTF Film is a 100% Korea-made product developed with proprietary technologies by the company’s team of coating and release liner experts. Unlike other products that require a long wait before peeling off the PET film after heat pressing, Dae Ha’s film allows immediate peeling (HOT PEEL) and can also be used as a COLD PEEL, providing a smart and flexible solution. Certified under OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, it features superior ink absorption thanks to advanced coating technology, enabling vivid color expression even with less ink. Its low-temperature processing helps save energy, improve productivity, and reduce costs, giving it strong competitiveness for long-term use.

Dae Ha’s Foil DTF combines the convenience of DTF Film with the premium finish of stamping foil. This innovative product delivers metallic effects that are difficult to achieve with standard DTF printing. Compatible with existing DTF printers, Foil DTF adds striking textures and shine while reproducing even delicate details such as small lettering with patented coating technology. It offers a wide range of colors and patterns for greater design freedom, and achieves various effects without extra processes.

Dae Ha’s Heat Transfer Flex (HTV) product line stands out for its diverse materials and unique characteristics, offering more than 500 vibrant colors and patterns that bring creative designs to life. The lineup includes user-friendly cuttable films for plotter cutting, printable films for eco-solvent inks with vivid colors and fast drying, and various sublimation products. All HTV products are certified by SGS for the absence of harmful substances, ensuring environmental safety for end users. The company’s strict quality management system guarantees consistent supply of high-quality HTV products.

Dae Ha’s DTF Films and HTV are in high demand worldwide, especially in Southeast Asian countries, India, Brazil, Mexico, and sports-driven markets like Australia and New Zealand, which the company targets as key growth regions.

Through local buyer-matching programs supported by organizations such as KOTRA and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, Dae Ha continues to expand its global reach. The company regularly distributes newsletters and leaflets introducing new and existing products to attract new customers and update current clients. Dae Ha also participates annually in the global FESPA exhibition, and plans to attend next year’s FESPA in Berlin to meet overseas customers and agents and gather valuable market insights. The company actively builds networks through local visits to meet and collaborate with distributors, production partners, and industry peers.

K-PRINT 2024, where Dae Ha will exhibit its products, will be held from August 21 (Wed) to August 24 (Sat) at KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 in Ilsan, Korea.
