Gang Sheet vs. Single Image Prints: Why Printing Multiple Designs Together Saves You Money G a n g S h e e t v s . S i n g l e I m a g e P r i n t s : W h y P r i n t i n g M u l t i p l e D e s i g n s T o g e t h e r S a v e s Y o u M o n e y

If you have more than one design to print, there's a smarter — and more affordable — way to order your DTF transfers. Instead of submitting each image as a separate single-image order, combining them onto a gang sheet can significantly cut your costs. Here's why.

What's the Difference?

Single image product: You upload one design, choose a size, and pay for that individual transfer. Simple, but if you have multiple designs, you're paying a base cost for each one separately.

Gang sheet builder: You upload multiple designs onto one continuous sheet, filling the space efficiently. You pay for the total sheet area — not per design — which means the more you pack in, the lower your cost per transfer.

A Real-World Example

Say you need 3 different designs printed at 4" x 4" each:

Ordering as 3 separate single images = 3 separate base costs
Building a gang sheet and fitting all 3 on one sheet = one sheet cost, often a fraction of the price

The savings add up fast, especially when you're printing for a full collection, event, or customer order with multiple artwork files.

When to Use the Gang Sheet Builder

You have 2 or more designs to print in the same order
You need multiple copies of the same design in different sizes
You're printing for a full apparel line or event and want to minimize cost per piece
You want to test several designs without paying full price for each

When a Single Image Order Makes Sense

You only need one design and one size
You need a quick reorder of a single transfer you've already used

How to Get Started

Our Gang Sheet Builder makes it easy — upload your designs, drag and drop to arrange them, and submit when you're happy with the layout. No design software needed.
