What Is a Gang Sheet? (How It Works + How It Saves You Money)

If you are ordering DTF transfers regularly, gang sheets are one of the easiest ways to save money and stay stocked.

At Primal Graphx - Charlotte's #1 Premium DTF Provider, we help customers in Charlotte and ship nationwide. This guide breaks down what a gang sheet is, how it works, and how to use it the smart way.

What is a gang sheet?

A gang sheet is one large sheet where you place multiple designs (and multiple sizes) together.

Instead of ordering each design separately, you combine them on one sheet to:

  • maximize space

  • reduce wasted blank areas

  • lower your cost per print

Why gang sheets save you money

Gang sheets help because you are paying for the sheet space, not paying extra for every separate design.

That means you can:

  • fit multiple logos on one sheet

  • add pocket logos, sleeve prints, and full fronts together

  • print several sizes of the same design

  • keep best sellers ready without reordering constantly

What you can put on a gang sheet

Common setups:

  • 1 full front + 1 left chest + 2 sleeve prints

  • 6 to 20 small logos for uniforms

  • multiple designs for a vendor event

  • a weekly drop inventory sheet (several designs, multiple sizes)

The biggest mistake people make

The most common mistake is leaving too much empty space.

If you have gaps, you are paying for space you are not using.

Tip: fill leftover space with:

  • small logos

  • size variations

  • bonus designs you know you will sell

Two easy ways to build your gang sheet

Use whichever option fits your workflow:

Pro tips for better results

  • keep artwork high resolution

  • avoid screenshots

  • leave a little space between designs for cutting

  • double check sizing before you submit

If you are not sure about sizing or file setup, we can help.

FAQ

Do I have to cut every design out?

Yes. Gang sheets are meant to be cut into individual transfers before pressing.

Are gang sheets only for big businesses?

No. They are great for beginners because they lower your cost per print and help you build inventory.

Can you help fix my artwork before I order?

Yes. Primal Graphx offers graphic designing to clean up files and make them press-ready.
