Gang Sheets 101: The Crafter’s Secret to Saving Time (and Money)

Copied!

If you’re running a small shop or love making your own designs, gang sheets are about to become your new obsession. Whether you work with DTF, UV DTF, or sublimation, knowing how to gang up your designs means you’ll waste less material, press more products, and keep your workflow clean and organized.

So… What Is a Gang Sheet?

A gang sheet is one large sheet that holds multiple designs all printed at once.Instead of ordering a dozen small prints individually, you can fit everything you need (logos, decals, labels, cup wraps, you name it) onto one big sheet. Once printed, you just cut them out and press like normal. Think of it like putting all your grocery list items in one cart instead of running 12 separate trips.

Why Crafters Love Gang Sheets

• Saves money: You’re paying for one print area, not each design.
• Speeds things up: Press multiple items from one print run.
• Cuts down on waste: No weird gaps or empty space between designs.
• Perfect for collections: Great for matching sets, think cup wraps, keychains, shirts, and tags that all share a theme.

Tips for Designing Your Gang Sheet

1. Plan your layout: Use design software to size and align each piece before uploading.
2. Leave space for cutting: A small border between each design helps when trimming.
3. Mix and match sizes: Fill in blank spots with small designs, initials, or extras you can use later.
4. Save your template: Once you’ve got your layout down, keep it for future projects, it’s a game-changer.

Best Uses for Gang Sheets

• Seasonal collections (like fall, holiday, or Valentine’s Day drops)

• Business branding (logo sheets, product tags, packaging decals)

• Personal projects (matching family shirts, wedding favors, or custom gifts)

• UV DTF projects (cup wraps, bookmarks, and keychains)
