📄 What is a DTF Gang Sheet? Everything You Need to Know

If you're new to DTF printing, you've probably come across the term “gang sheet.” But what exactly is it — and why is it such a big deal in the world of custom apparel printing?

Let’s break it down.

🔍 What is a DTF Gang Sheet?

A DTF gang sheet is a single film sheet that includes multiple designs, logos, or graphics arranged together to be printed all at once. It’s a smart and cost-effective way to maximize space, reduce waste, and speed up production when printing with Direct-to-Film (DTF) technology. 🎨💡

Think of it as a collage of your designs — ready to print, cut, and press.

📏 Standard Sizes for DTF Gang Sheets

Gang sheets come in a variety of sizes, including:

• 22" x 24"

• 22" x 36"

• 22" x 60"

• 22" x 120"

You can also customize your sheet length depending on your order volume. The width usually stays consistent (e.g., 22 inches), while the length can be adjusted based on how many designs you include.

🧠 Why Use a Gang Sheet?

Using a DTF gang sheet offers several benefits:

✅ Print multiple designs in one go
✅ Save material and reduce costs
✅ Ideal for bulk orders or multi-graphic needs
✅ Great for small businesses and resellers
✅ Organize designs for faster workflow

Whether you're printing shirts for a whole team, various sizes of one design, or different graphics for an event, gang sheets help you get more done in less time — with less waste. ⚡🖨️

🛠️ How Do You Create a DTF Gang Sheet?

You can build your gang sheet using online gang sheet builder tools or graphic design software like:

• Adobe Illustrator

• Canva (with dimensions set manually)

Simply arrange your designs within the dimensions of the sheet. Leave appropriate spacing between each graphic if you plan to cut them out individually after printing.

💡 Pro Tip: Use transparent backgrounds and high-resolution PNG files (300 DPI) for the best print results.
