How to Build a DTF Gang Sheet Online

Instead of ordering every transfer separately, you can upload multiple pieces of artwork, arrange them within the available print area and order the completed sheet. After receiving it, you cut the individual transfers apart and heat press them onto your garments or products.

Gang sheets are useful for apparel businesses because they can:

• Combine multiple designs in one order

• Include different sizes of the same design

• Hold adult, youth, sleeve and left-chest transfers together

• Make efficient use of the available print area

• Potentially reduce the cost per individual design

• Help businesses prepare transfers for several customer orders at once

However, a gang sheet only provides good value when it is built correctly.

Incorrect sizing, low-resolution artwork, excessive empty space and designs placed outside the sheet boundaries can lead to wasted space or transfers that do not print as expected.

This complete guide explains how to use Lucky Wholesale’s online DTF Gang Sheet Builder and how to inspect your layout before ordering.

What Is a DTF Gang Sheet?

A DTF gang sheet is one large sheet of transfer film containing multiple printed designs.

The sheet may include:

• Several copies of one design

• Different designs for different customers

• Adult and youth versions of the same artwork

• Full-front and full-back transfers

• Left-chest logos

• Sleeve designs

• Neck-label designs

• Small pocket designs

• Transfers for tote bags or safety apparel

For example, a boutique might build one gang sheet containing:

• Six 11-inch adult shirt-front designs

• Four 8-inch youth designs

• Eight 3-inch left-chest logos

• Six small sleeve designs

All of these transfers can be arranged on the same sheet as long as they fit within the selected dimensions.

After Lucky Wholesale prints the gang sheet, the customer cuts the individual designs apart before pressing them.

How Does Lucky Wholesale’s Gang Sheet Builder Work?

Lucky Wholesale’s Gang Sheet Builder provides a fixed 22-inch sheet width with multiple length options. The current online options begin at 22 by 5 inches and extend through longer sheet lengths for larger orders.

The basic process is:

1. Choose a sheet length.

2. Open the online builder.

3. Upload your artwork.

4. Enter the intended dimensions for each design.

5. Duplicate repeated designs.

6. Rotate and arrange the artwork.

7. Leave enough room to cut the designs apart.

8. Inspect the complete sheet.

9. Add the finished layout to your cart.

10. Review the selected sheet size before placing the order.

Lucky Wholesale’s current product guidelines request artwork at 300 DPI in CMYK color mode. The listed accepted formats include PNG, PDF, SVG and AI, with a transparent background required.

For many customers, a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background is the simplest format to prepare and review.

Who Should Use a Gang Sheet?

A gang sheet can be useful for beginners and experienced apparel businesses, but it is most valuable when you have enough artwork to fill a meaningful portion of the sheet.

Boutiques

A boutique can combine transfers for several new shirt designs on one sheet. It may also include multiple sizes of the same artwork for adult and youth products.

Custom apparel businesses

A decorator handling several customer orders can place unrelated designs together, provided each design is correctly sized and authorized for reproduction.

Contractors and uniform suppliers

A contractor may need:

• Small left-chest logos

• Large full-back logos

• Sleeve lettering

• Employee names or department labels

These elements can be combined on one sheet.

Event vendors

A vendor preparing for a market, festival or pop-up event can place several popular designs and quantities together.

Schools, teams and organizations

A mixed order may include adult shirts, youth shirts, staff apparel and smaller logos for sleeves or chest placements.

Customers with repeated artwork

Gang sheets work well when you need many copies of the same design. You can upload the design once and duplicate it throughout the layout.

Customers ordering several transfer sizes

The same artwork can appear in multiple sizes on one sheet. For example:

• 3-inch left-chest version

• 8-inch youth version

• 10-inch adult version

• 12-inch full-back version

Each version must be sized and checked separately.

Gang Sheets Versus Transfers by Size

Lucky Wholesale offers both a Gang Sheet Builder and an individual Transfers by Size option. These ordering methods serve different needs.

Choose a gang sheet when:

• You have several designs

• You need many copies

• You need multiple sizes

• You want to arrange the artwork yourself

• You want to use the sheet area efficiently

• You are comfortable cutting the transfers apart

• You need front, back, sleeve and chest designs together

• You want direct control over the layout

Choose transfers by size when:

• You have only one design

• You need a small quantity

• You want each transfer supplied individually

• You do not want to build a layout

• You are not comfortable arranging artwork

• Convenience matters more than filling a larger sheet

• You want Lucky Wholesale to size each transfer separately

A gang sheet is not automatically the better value.

A large sheet with extensive empty space may cost more than ordering a few individual transfers by size. The advantage comes from arranging enough useful artwork to make good use of the sheet.

Practical recommendation: Use the Gang Sheet Builder when you have several designs, sizes or quantities that can be arranged efficiently. Use Transfers by Size when you have one design and want the simplest ordering process.

Step 1: List Every Transfer You Need

Do not open the builder until you know what the sheet needs to contain.

Start by making a transfer list.

Design	Finished size	Quantity	Placement
Company logo	3.5 inches wide	12	Left chest
Company logo	11 inches wide	12	Full back
Employee title	3 inches wide	6	Sleeve
Boutique design A	10.5 inches wide	4	Adult front
Boutique design A	7.5 inches wide	3	Youth front

This step prevents one of the most common gang sheet mistakes: completing the layout and then realizing you forgot a sleeve design, neck label or left-chest logo.

Before choosing a sheet length, confirm:

• Every design you need

• The finished size of each design

• The quantity of each size

• The intended garment placement

• Whether any designs need separate adult and youth versions

• Whether small add-on designs are required

A written list also helps you compare the completed layout with the original order.

Step 2: Choose the Correct Sheet Length

Lucky Wholesale gang sheets are 22 inches wide and are available in several lengths. The current online options range from shorter 5- and 10-inch sheets through much longer sheets for bulk orders.

Your goal is to choose the shortest practical sheet that holds all required artwork without overcrowding it.

Do not choose by quantity alone

Ten small left-chest logos require much less space than ten full-front designs.

The space required depends on:

• Design width

• Design height

• Quantity

• Artwork shape

• Whether designs can be rotated

• Space needed for cutting

• How efficiently different shapes fit together

Estimate the required length

Because the sheet is 22 inches wide, two designs that are approximately 10 inches wide may fit next to each other, depending on their exact dimensions and the cutting space between them.

However, two 11-inch designs generally will not fit comfortably across a 22-inch sheet once spacing and boundaries are considered.

A rough planning method is:

1. Write down the width and height of every design.

2. Group designs that may fit side by side.

3. Estimate the number of rows required.

4. Add the heights of those rows.

5. Allow additional space between designs.

6. Select the next available sheet length above that estimate.

This is only an estimate. Irregularly shaped artwork may use the available space differently once placed in the builder.

Start with the intended finished sizes

Do not make designs smaller simply to force them onto a shorter sheet.

Saving a few inches of film is not worthwhile if the finished transfer is too small for the intended garment.

Avoid buying far more space than you need

Selecting a much longer sheet than necessary creates avoidable cost.

After arranging the artwork, inspect the bottom of the sheet. If a large unused section remains, consider whether the artwork can be rearranged onto a shorter length without:

• Changing transfer sizes

• Crowding the designs

• Removing necessary quantities

• Making cutting difficult

The best sheet length is the one that fits the correct artwork—not the one that forces the artwork to fit.

Step 3: Prepare the Artwork Before Uploading

A Gang Sheet Builder arranges artwork. It does not repair low-quality files or recreate missing design details.

Before uploading, inspect every design individually.

Use high-resolution artwork

Lucky Wholesale requests artwork at 300 DPI for the best printing results.

A design can look sharp on a phone while still being too small for an adult-size transfer.

For example, a 500-pixel-wide image may look acceptable as a social media graphic but become visibly pixelated when enlarged to 11 inches.

Use the highest-quality original file available.

Avoid:

• Screenshots

• Social media downloads

• Small website images

• Photographs of another printed shirt

• Blurry customer previews

• Files that have been repeatedly compressed

• Small images enlarged far beyond their original dimensions

Use a transparent background

A transparent background allows the transfer to follow the shape of the artwork.

If the uploaded file contains a solid white, black or colored rectangle, that rectangle may become part of the printed transfer.

A checkerboard pattern in design software often represents transparency, but confirm that the checkerboard is not actually embedded in the file.

Crop unnecessary canvas space

A file may have transparent space surrounding the visible artwork.

For example, the complete image file may measure 10 inches wide while the actual logo only occupies 6 inches in the middle.

This can create several problems:

• The design appears smaller than expected

• The builder treats the empty canvas as part of the artwork

• Nearby designs cannot be placed as closely

• More sheet area is wasted

Crop the file closely around the visible artwork before uploading.

Prepare artwork in CMYK when possible

Lucky Wholesale requests CMYK artwork because printed colors cannot always match the RGB colors displayed on a screen.

Bright neon-like monitor colors may not reproduce exactly with standard CMYK printing.

Review important brand colors before submitting a large production order.

Check your right to reproduce the artwork

Customers are responsible for confirming that they own the artwork or have authorization to reproduce it. Lucky Wholesale may remove designs that violate copyrights or trademarks.

Do not assume that redrawing a character, changing a team logo’s color or using a different font makes copyrighted material acceptable to print.

Step 4: Select the Sheet and Open the Builder

Go to the Lucky Wholesale DTF Gang Sheet Builder product page.

BUILD YOUR DTF GANG SHEET ONLINE

Select the sheet dimensions that you believe will hold the complete order, and then open the builder.

The exact appearance of the builder may change as the website is updated, but you should see a 22-inch-wide working area with the selected sheet length.

Before uploading artwork, verify that the dimensions shown in the builder match the sheet size you selected.

Do not build the entire layout on one sheet size and add a different size to your cart.

Step 5: Upload Designs Into the Builder

Upload each unique design needed for the gang sheet.

You usually do not need to upload the same artwork repeatedly. Upload it once, size it correctly and duplicate it within the builder.

For every uploaded design:

1. Confirm that the correct file opened.

2. Inspect the background.

3. Check the edges for unwanted pixels.

4. Confirm that no part of the artwork is cropped.

5. Enter the intended dimensions.

6. Review the design at approximately its printed size.

If the sheet includes many files, use clear file names before uploading.

Helpful file names might include:

• CompanyLogo-LeftChest.png

• CompanyLogo-FullBack.png

• DesignA-Adult.png

• DesignA-Youth.png

• Sleeve-Right.png

• NeckLabel-Small.png

Avoid unclear names such as:

• final.png

• final2.png

• newfinal.png

• image123.png

Good file names reduce the chance of using the wrong artwork or size.

Step 6: Enter the Correct Dimensions

The dimensions entered in the builder determine the finished transfer size.

Do not judge size only by how large the design appears on your computer screen.

A design that looks large in the builder may still print at only 3 inches. A design that appears small because the sheet is long may actually be 11 inches wide.

Start with the placement

Choose the intended transfer dimensions based on where the artwork will be used.

Common starting points may include:

• 3–4 inches for many left-chest logos

• 7–8 inches for many youth fronts

• 10–11 inches for many standard adult fronts

• 11–12 inches for oversized adult or full-back designs

These are guidelines, not universal rules. Measure the actual garment whenever possible.

Check width and height

If a design is 11 inches wide, that does not mean it is 11 inches tall.

A wide logo may be 11 by 4 inches. A square design may be approximately 11 by 11 inches. A vertical design might become 11 by 15 inches.

Check both dimensions before finalizing the placement.

Keep proportions locked

The width and height should change proportionally.

When you increase the width, the height should adjust according to the original artwork shape. When you reduce the width, the height should reduce by the same proportion.

Do not unlock the proportions simply to fit an artwork file into a narrow opening.

Step 7: Duplicate Repeated Designs

Once the first copy of a design has the correct dimensions, use the builder’s duplicate or copy function to create the required quantity.

For example, when you need 20 identical 3.5-inch logos:

1. Upload the logo once.

2. Set it to 3.5 inches wide.

3. Confirm the proportional height.

4. Duplicate the correctly sized version.

5. Count the copies before arranging them.

Duplicating the correctly sized first copy is safer than uploading the file 20 times and resizing every copy separately.

Count duplicates carefully

After arranging repeated designs, count them against your original transfer list.

A sheet may visually look complete while still being one or two copies short.

For large quantities, arrange repeated designs in organized rows or groups. This makes them easier to count.

Step 8: Create Multiple Sizes of the Same Design

You can use the same artwork at several sizes on one gang sheet.

For example, a business may need:

• Ten 3.5-inch left-chest logos

• Six 8-inch youth designs

• Twelve 10.5-inch adult designs

• Four 12-inch full-back designs

A safe workflow is:

1. Upload the design.

2. Create the first required size.

3. Duplicate the correct quantity.

4. Create a separate copy for the next size.

5. Enter the new dimensions.

6. Duplicate that version.

7. Keep each size grouped until the final arrangement.

Do not resize an entire group accidentally.

After creating multiple sizes, click each size group and verify the displayed dimensions.

A design that looks only slightly different on screen may be several inches different in print.

Step 9: Rotate and Arrange the Artwork

Rotation can help irregular artwork fit together more efficiently.

A tall, narrow design may fit beside a wide horizontal design after being rotated. Small chest logos may fit into open areas beside larger shirt-front artwork.

Rotation does not change the finished size

Rotating an 8-by-10-inch design creates a 10-by-8-inch orientation on the sheet, but it does not reduce its printed area.

The customer can turn the cut transfer into the correct pressing orientation after receiving it.

Arrange larger designs first

A practical layout process is:

1. Place the largest designs first.

2. Group repeated large designs into rows.

3. Fit medium designs around them.

4. Use remaining spaces for left-chest, sleeve and label designs.

5. Inspect narrow gaps for smaller artwork.

6. Recheck every size after rearranging.

Starting with tiny designs can create scattered spaces that are too small for the larger artwork.

Treat the sheet like a packing problem

Different shapes can sometimes fit together more efficiently than identical rectangles.

For example:

• A curved design may fit beside a narrow logo.

• Sleeve designs may fit beside tall artwork.

• Small chest logos may fill space below wide horizontal designs.

• Neck labels may fit into small open areas near the end of a row.

Efficiency matters, but readability and cutting access still come first.

Step 10: Leave Suitable Cutting Space

Designs should not touch or overlap.

After receiving the gang sheet, you will need to cut each transfer apart without cutting into neighboring artwork.

Leave a small, visible space between designs.

There is no benefit to leaving several inches between every image, but placing designs nearly on top of each other can make cutting difficult.

Leave enough room to:

• See the edge of each transfer

• Use scissors or a cutting tool safely

• Avoid cutting into fine details

• Separate repeated designs efficiently

• Identify where one transparent design ends and another begins

Artwork with transparent backgrounds can be difficult to see at the edges, especially when it contains isolated dots, distressed textures or small decorative elements.

Give those designs slightly more cutting room when necessary.

Check isolated design elements

A design may contain a small star, dot or line positioned away from the main artwork.

Make sure a neighboring transfer does not overlap that isolated element.

Zoom in and inspect the complete artwork boundary, not only the largest visible portion.

Step 11: Use the Available Area Efficiently

Efficient does not mean crowded beyond usability.

The goal is to reduce unnecessary empty areas without changing the intended transfer sizes or making the sheet difficult to cut.

Look for:

• Large blank rows

• Empty corners

• Wide gaps between similar designs

• Small spaces that could hold sleeve or label artwork

• Designs that could fit better after rotation

• Repeated designs that can be aligned more closely

• Open areas created by irregular artwork shapes

Do not add designs you do not need

Using every square inch is not valuable if you fill the sheet with random artwork that will never be pressed.

Extra copies can be useful when:

• A design sells regularly

• You want a backup for pressing errors

• The customer may reorder soon

• A small logo fits into otherwise unusable space

However, do not choose a longer sheet only to add unnecessary transfers.

Compare sheet lengths

When the completed layout leaves a large empty area at the bottom, determine whether the same required artwork can fit on the next shorter sheet.

When the layout is overcrowded or the designs nearly touch, move to a longer size rather than shrinking the artwork.

Step 12: Review the Sheet Before Ordering

The customer is responsible for reviewing the submitted artwork and layout.

Do not assume that a design is correct simply because the builder accepted it.

Inspect the sheet in three ways.

Review the whole sheet

Zoom out and inspect the overall layout.

Look for:

• Large wasted areas

• Designs outside the boundaries

• Uneven spacing

• Missing rows

• Unexpected blank sections

• Designs that appear much larger or smaller than the others

Review each design

Zoom in and inspect every unique piece of artwork.

Check:

• Resolution

• Transparent background

• Spelling

• Fine details

• Unwanted borders

• Stray pixels

• Cropped edges

• Color concerns

• Correct orientation

Review the dimensions

Select each design group and verify:

• Width

• Height

• Quantity

• Intended placement

• Locked proportions

Do not rely only on visual comparison.

Important Gang Sheet Mistakes to Avoid

Every mistake below can affect the usefulness of the finished sheet.

Mistake 1: Stretching Artwork to Change Its Proportions

Stretching occurs when the width changes without the height changing proportionally, or vice versa.

This can make:

• Circles look oval

• Faces look wider or narrower

• Text appear distorted

• Logos lose their correct shape

• Borders become uneven

How to prevent it

Keep the aspect ratio or proportion setting locked.

Resize using one dimension and allow the other dimension to adjust automatically.

When the design does not fit the available space, rotate it, rearrange the sheet or select a longer sheet. Do not distort it.

Mistake 2: Making Designs Too Small to Print Clearly

A customer may shrink a design to fit more copies onto the sheet.

This can make fine text, thin lines and distressed details too small to reproduce or read clearly.

A detailed design that looks good at 11 inches may not work at 3 inches.

How to prevent it

View the artwork at approximately the intended finished size.

Check:

• Small text

• Thin outlines

• Fine distress marks

• Isolated dots

• Narrow gaps between colors

• Detailed contact information

• QR codes

Consider creating a simplified version for small placements.

For example, a full company logo with a phone number may work on the back of a work shirt, while a simplified symbol and company name may be better for the left chest.

Mistake 3: Leaving Unnecessary Empty Areas

Large gaps can increase the required sheet length without improving the finished transfers.

How to prevent it

Arrange large designs first, rotate artwork when useful and fill smaller openings with chest, sleeve or label designs.

Keep enough cutting space, but do not leave several inches between every transfer.

Mistake 4: Placing Artwork Outside the Sheet Boundaries

Any artwork extending beyond the builder’s printable area may be cropped or omitted.

This includes tiny details that extend beyond the visible main image.

How to prevent it

Keep the complete design inside the sheet boundary.

Zoom in along all four edges of the layout. Pay particular attention to:

• The top row

• The bottom row

• Designs touching the left or right edge

• Artwork with isolated decorative elements

• Transparent files with hard-to-see edges

Do not assume that an item is safe merely because most of it is inside the sheet.

Mistake 5: Accidentally Changing a Design’s Size

A design can be resized unintentionally while dragging, rotating or rearranging it.

One copy may then print differently from the rest.

How to prevent it

Size the first design correctly and duplicate it.

After arranging the sheet, select representative copies from each group and confirm their dimensions.

Pay particular attention after:

• Rotating designs

• Moving groups

• Filling narrow spaces

• Editing the sheet on a touchscreen

• Creating adult and youth versions

• Undoing a previous action

Mistake 6: Uploading Artwork With a Background

A solid rectangle behind the design may become part of the transfer.

This is particularly noticeable when a white-background design is pressed onto a dark garment.

How to prevent it

Upload artwork with genuine transparency.

Open the file in software that displays transparent areas as a checkerboard. Confirm that the background can be seen through—not merely that it looks white.

Also inspect the edges for:

• White halos

• Partially erased backgrounds

• Box-shaped shadows

• Small leftover pixels

Mistake 7: Using Low-Resolution Images

Low-resolution artwork may print with:

• Blurry edges

• Pixelated text

• Jagged curves

• Unclear faces

• Poor small details

Lucky Wholesale currently requests artwork at 300 DPI for the best results.

How to prevent it

Use the original high-resolution artwork.

Do not assume that changing the DPI number alone improves a small image. A low-resolution file does not gain real detail simply because its metadata is changed to 300 DPI.

When the original file is too small, obtain a better file or recreate the artwork before ordering.

Mistake 8: Forgetting Sleeve, Label or Left-Chest Designs

Customers often focus on the large front and back artwork and forget the smaller parts of the order.

How to prevent it

Create a transfer list before entering the builder.

Check every garment placement:

• Front

• Back

• Left chest

• Right chest

• Left sleeve

• Right sleeve

• Neck label

• Pocket

• Pant leg

• Tote bag side

• Safety garment panel

Review the garment order and gang sheet side by side.

Mistake 9: Creating More Space Than Necessary

Cutting room is important, but oversized gaps waste film.

How to prevent it

Leave a practical, visible separation rather than an arbitrary large gap.

The required space may vary based on the design shape and how you plan to cut the sheet.

Straight rectangular designs can often be arranged neatly. Distressed or irregular designs may need more room so isolated elements are not accidentally cut.

Mistake 10: Failing to Inspect the Completed Layout

A sheet may contain correctly prepared individual designs and still have a layout error.

Common final-layout problems include:

• One design missing

• An incorrect quantity

• A youth design accidentally enlarged

• A full-front design accidentally reduced

• Artwork outside the sheet

• One duplicated design with the wrong dimensions

• A remaining background

• A spelling error

• Unexpected empty space

• The wrong sheet length selected

How to prevent it

Complete a final review after you believe the layout is finished.

Do not submit immediately after moving the last design.

Pause, return to your transfer list and check every item one more time.

Practical Gang Sheet Examples

Example 1: A boutique launching three designs

A boutique needs:

• Four copies of design A at 10.5 inches

• Four copies of design B at 10.5 inches

• Four copies of design C at 10.5 inches

• Two youth copies of each design at 7.5 inches

• Six small brand logos at 3 inches

A gang sheet is likely more convenient than placing separate orders for every design and size.

The boutique should:

1. Upload all three designs.

2. Create the adult sizes.

3. Duplicate each adult version four times.

4. Create separate youth versions.

5. Duplicate each youth version twice.

6. Add the six brand logos.

7. Arrange the large artwork first.

8. Use open areas for the brand logos.

9. Count each design before submitting.

Example 2: A contractor ordering work-shirt logos

A contractor needs:

• Twenty 3.5-inch left-chest logos

• Twenty 11-inch full-back logos

• Ten sleeve department names

The contractor can place the large back designs first and fill remaining spaces with chest and sleeve transfers.

The chest logo should not simply be a miniature copy of the back design when it contains small contact information. A simplified chest version may print more clearly.

Example 3: A family order with adult and youth shirts

A family reunion order includes:

• Twelve adult designs

• Eight youth designs

• Four toddler designs

• Twenty-four small sleeve names

The customer should prepare separate sizes for each garment group.

Trying to use one design size across adult, youth and toddler shirts will produce unbalanced results.

Example 4: An apparel decorator combining customer orders

A decorator may place several authorized customer designs on one gang sheet:

• Restaurant logos

• School-club artwork

• Boutique graphics

• Contractor logos

• Sleeve transfers

• Neck labels

Each order should be clearly documented before building the sheet so the transfers can be identified and separated correctly after printing.

Example 5: Filling small spaces productively

A customer has arranged all required full-front designs but has several narrow spaces remaining.

Instead of making the large artwork bigger or leaving the spaces unused, the customer may add:

• Extra left-chest logos

• Sleeve designs

• Neck labels

• A few backup transfers

• Small product logos

Only add transfers that will realistically be used.

What Happens After You Order?

Lucky Wholesale prints the artwork according to the submitted gang sheet layout.

The finished product is one larger sheet containing the arranged transfers. The customer cuts the individual transfers apart before application.

Keep the original layout or a screenshot of the completed sheet for production reference. This can help you:

• Identify similar designs

• Separate customer orders

• Match adult and youth sizes

• Count finished transfers

• Reorder popular layouts later

After cutting, store the transfers in a clean, dry area until they are ready to press.

Always follow the current Lucky Wholesale pressing instructions for time, temperature, pressure and peeling method.

When Should You Upload a Completed Gang Sheet Instead?

Lucky Wholesale also offers an Upload DTF Gang Sheet option for customers who have already created the entire sheet in design software.

Use the online Gang Sheet Builder when:

• You have separate artwork files

• You want to arrange designs through the website

• You need to duplicate and resize designs online

• You do not already have one completed sheet file

Use Upload a Gang Sheet when:

• The complete sheet is already designed

• The canvas matches the selected sheet dimensions

• All artwork is already positioned

• The sizes and spacing have already been checked

• You want the existing layout printed as submitted

Do not upload a completed gang sheet into the builder and then resize the complete image unless you fully understand how that change affects every transfer on the sheet.

Main Conclusion

Choose the Lucky Wholesale Gang Sheet Builder when you have several designs, sizes or quantities and want to arrange them together on one larger DTF transfer sheet.

A well-built gang sheet can help you use the available print area efficiently and potentially reduce the cost per design. However, the value depends on preparing and reviewing the layout correctly.

The most important rules are:

• Determine every required transfer before starting.

• Choose a practical sheet length.

• Use high-resolution artwork with a transparent background.

• Enter the actual finished dimensions.

• Keep the artwork’s proportions locked.

• Duplicate designs only after sizing the first copy correctly.

• Arrange large artwork before small artwork.

• Rotate designs when it improves the layout.

• Leave enough cutting space without creating excessive gaps.

• Keep every part of every design inside the sheet boundaries.

• Remember chest, sleeve, label and youth transfers.

• Inspect the entire completed layout before ordering.

Do not reduce important designs simply to fit them onto a shorter sheet. Do not stretch artwork to fill an empty space. Do not assume the builder will correct low-resolution files, backgrounds, sizing errors or missing transfers.

The builder prints the layout you create, so the final review is one of the most important parts of the ordering process.
