If you're diving into custom apparel printing,


 chances are you've heard of DTF gang sheets. Whether you're printing for your brand, running a small shop, or just want vibrant designs on your tees — learning how to build your own gang sheet can save you serious time and money.

What Is a DTF Gang Sheet?

A gang sheet is a single sheet filled with multiple designs — logos, artwork, or graphics — arranged together to make the most of the available print space. With DTF (Direct to Film) printing, these designs are heat-transferred to clothing or fabric, giving you bright, long-lasting results with no weeding required.

Why Use a Gang Sheet?

  • Maximize print space – Fit as many designs as possible on one sheet
  • Save money – Bulk printing = lower cost per design
  • Stay organized – Print everything you need in one go
  • Speed up production – Great for multiple orders or merch drops

Step-by-Step: How to Build a Gang Sheet

  1. Collect your artwork – Make sure all designs are in PNG format with a transparent background
  2. Open our Gang Sheet Builder – Upload your files and arrange them
  3. Choose your size – From 0.5m to 10m in length, always 33 cm (13") wide
  4. Add optional proofing – We’ll double-check layout and quality before printing
  5. Place your order – Fast printing and shipping options available

Tips for Better DTF Transfers

  • Use high-resolution artwork (300 DPI)
  • Leave a small margin around each design for easier cutting
  • Group similar sizes or designs together to stay organized
  • Double-check transparent backgrounds — no white boxes!
