What is DTF Gang Sheet

A DTF Gang Sheet is a large sheet of film that contains multiple designs or logos printed together, which are intended to be cut apart and applied individually to different items. Here's how it works and its benefits:

How a DTF Gang Sheet Works:

  1. Multiple Designs on One Sheet: Rather than printing one design per film, a gang sheet allows you to arrange several designs of different sizes and shapes on a single large sheet of PET film.
  2. Efficient Printing: This method optimizes space, allowing businesses to print as many designs as possible on one sheet, reducing waste and printing costs.
  3. Customization: Businesses can print a variety of designs, such as logos, names, or artwork, in various sizes and for different purposes (e.g., T-shirts, hats, bags) on one gang sheet.
  4. Cutting & Application: Once printed, each individual design can be cut out from the gang sheet and applied separately to different items using a heat press.

Benefits of DTF Gang Sheets:

  • Cost-Effective: By maximizing the use of space on the sheet, gang sheets reduce the cost per design, especially for smaller or multiple designs.
  • Customization Flexibility: You can print different designs on one sheet, which is ideal for businesses needing varied logos, names, or small designs.
  • Time-Efficient: Instead of printing each design one by one, gang sheets allow multiple designs to be printed in one go, saving time.
  • Reduces Waste: The space on the gang sheet is fully utilized, reducing the amount of wasted film.
  • Perfect for Bulk Orders: Ideal for large production runs where different designs or logos are needed in bulk for apparel, merchandise, or promotional items.

Usage Example:

A custom apparel business could create a gang sheet with several customer logos and different size options for a variety of garments. After printing the gang sheet, each logo is cut out and heat-pressed onto items like T-shirts, hats, or tote bags.

Gang sheets are highly efficient for businesses dealing with high-demand, varied, or bulk printing jobs.
