What Is a Gang Sheet
A gang sheet is a large DTF transfer film printed with multiple designs side by side. Instead of printing one design per sheet, you fill every inch of the film. You only pay for the sheet size — not the number of designs.
Gang sheet printing is ideal for small businesses and custom apparel brands. It maximizes every square inch you pay for. The result is a dramatically lower cost per design.
💡 Did you know? A single 22"×96" gang sheet can hold 30+ small designs — costing the same as printing just 3–4 individually!
How Gang Sheets Save You Money
DTF gang sheet pricing is based on sheet size, not design count. That means fitting more designs lowers your cost per piece. You can cut your printing bill by 50% or more with a smart layout.
Compare the two approaches: printing 10 individual 4"×4" transfers vs. nesting all 10 on one gang sheet. The gang sheet wins every time on price. Check out our best price DTF options to see real savings.
🔥 Real Cost Comparison
10 individual prints at $4 each = $40. The same 10 designs on one gang sheet = ~$18–22. That is a 45–55% savings on every order.
Our cheap DTF gang sheets make high-quality printing accessible for everyone. Whether you run 10 or 1,000 pieces, the savings add up fast.
