How to Build a DTF Gang Sheet

Gang Sheet Guide

Nest designs on a 22" wide sheet, cut waste, and press like a pro. A DTF gang sheet packs multiple designs on one film so you pay for film once and cut them apart later.

What is a DTF gang sheet?

  • One sheet, many designs — logos, names, and sizes share one 22" wide film
  • Lower cost per print — nesting wastes less film than ordering every design alone
  • Built for shops — Etsy sellers, teams, events, and decorators with mixed small orders
  • Flexible lengths — from short proofs to longer production sheets

How to build a gang sheet

  1. Prep your artwork — transparent PNGs at 300 DPI at final print size. Outline text and remove white backgrounds. See Artwork Guidelines.
  2. Open the builder — go to Build a Gang Sheet, choose your sheet length, then upload each design.
  3. Size & nest — scale each design to the size you will press (pocket, youth, adult chest). Nest tightly with a small gap for cutting.
  4. Review the preview — check spelling, sizes, and spacing before checkout. What you see is what we print.
  5. Order & press — orders by 1 PM PST are aimed at next-business-day production. Cut designs apart and follow the application guide.

Pro tips for nesting

  • Leave a cut gap — small margin between designs so scissors or a cutter don’t nick the print
  • Group by size — cluster pocket prints together and full-chest designs together for faster cutting
  • Repeat bestsellers — duplicate high-volume designs on the same sheet instead of reordering later
  • Need one design? — use Transfers by Size when you don’t need a full gang sheet
