How Many 10x10 Designs Fit on a DTF Gang Sheet? (22x24 vs 22x120 vs 22x240 + Cost Per Print)
How Many 10x10 Designs Fit on a DTF Gang Sheet? (22x24 vs 22x120 vs 22x240 + Cost Per Print)
If you are building gang sheets and wondering how many prints you can squeeze in, this quick guide makes it simple.
We will use a super common design size as the example: 10x10 inches (great for front chest graphics, youth fronts, and many adult fronts).
Below, you will see:
-
How many 10x10 designs fit on each sheet size
-
The cost per design on each sheet
-
Why 22x240 is usually the best value when you have multiple orders or want to stock up
The sheet sizes and prices (example)
These are the sheet sizes customers order most often:
-
22x24: $24.99
-
22x120: $64.99
-
22x240: $104.99
Assumptions (so the math stays honest)
Gang sheets are real-world production, so we have to account for spacing.
For this example, we assume:
-
Each design is 10x10 inches
-
You leave about 0.5 inch spacing between designs for easier cutting and handling
-
You can rotate designs if needed, but we are keeping this layout simple and repeatable
If you want, we can run the same math for left chest 3.5x3.5, sleeve 2.5x11, or full front 11x14 too.
Quick layout logic (10x10 designs)
-
Across the 22 inch width, you can fit 2 designs (2 x 10 = 20 inches) with a little room for spacing.
-
Down the length, you fit as many rows as the sheet allows.
So the formula is basically:
-
Designs per row: 2
-
Rows: depends on sheet length
-
Total designs: 2 x rows
How many 10x10 designs fit per sheet
22x24 gang sheet
-
Rows: 2 (2 x 10 = 20 inches tall, plus spacing)
-
Total designs: 4
22x120 gang sheet
-
Rows: 11 (11 x 10 = 110 inches tall, plus spacing)
-
Total designs: 22
22x240 gang sheet
-
Rows: 23 (23 x 10 = 230 inches tall, plus spacing)
-
Total designs: 46
Cost per 10x10 design (this is the part that matters)
Formula:
$$ \text{Cost per design} = \frac{\text{Sheet price}}{\text{Total designs}} $$
Cost per design breakdown
-
22x24: $24.99 / 4 = $6.25 per 10x10
-
22x120: $64.99 / 22 = $2.95 per 10x10
-
22x240: $104.99 / 46 = $2.28 per 10x10

What this means for your t-shirt business
If you are printing for:
-
Multiple customers
-
Multiple sizes
-
Multiple shirt colors
-
Or you want to keep best sellers on deck
Then 22x240 usually wins because your cost per print drops fast.
Example:
-
If you sell a shirt and your transfer cost drops from $6.25 to $2.28, you just added about $3.97 more margin per shirt (before blanks and labor).
Tips to fit even more on your sheet
-
Mix sizes on one sheet (fronts, left chest, sleeves)
-
Keep consistent spacing for faster cutting
