If you would rather we lay it out, use the Build DTF Gang Sheet product instead — the online builder handles spacing and nesting for you.
Full control over your layout
You decide spacing, nesting, and orientation. Nothing is rearranged, resized, or re-nested on our end, so what you proof is what you receive.
22.3" of usable width
0.3" wider than the industry standard 22" — enough to fit two 11" designs side by side with cutting clearance, which lowers your cost per design on long runs.
Premium film and ink
High-performance PET film paired with water-based inks that contain no heavy metals or hazardous solvents.
Soft feel, strong hold
Flexible, breathable finish that blends into the fabric and resists cracking or peeling.
Built to last
100+ washes with correct application and care.
Because you are supplying the full layout, file accuracy matters more here than anywhere else on the site. Artwork is printed exactly as submitted. We do not edit, resize, or color-correct.
Accepted formats, in order of preference:
- PDF and AI — most preferred. Vector, so edges stay razor sharp at any size. Outline all fonts.
- EPS and SVG — preferred vector alternatives.
- PNG — best raster option. Transparent background, 300 DPI at final print size.
- JPG / JPEG — accepted but not recommended. No transparency, so the background prints as a solid box.
Layout specifications:
- Build the file at exactly 22.3" wide
- Keep all artwork at least 0.25" inside the sheet edge
- Leave at least 0.2" between designs so they cut apart cleanly. Designs can use the full 22.3" width, so two 11" designs fit side by side.
- Resolution: 300 DPI at final print size (acceptable range 150–900 DPI)
- Minimum design size: 0.25" × 0.25"
- Minimum free-standing line thickness: 6 px / 0.02" / 0.5 mm
- Minimum positive space, negative space, and outline weight: 2 pt
- Transparent background required
- Convert all fonts to outlines
- CMYK color mode preferred
Set your document units to inches and confirm the physical dimensions before exporting. A file that looks correct on screen can be a completely different printed size.

Temperature 300–320°F · Pressure firm · Time 10–15 seconds
By fabric:
- Cotton and blends — 300–320°F, 10–15 sec, firm
- Polyester and performance — 280–300°F, 12–15 sec, firm
- Nylon, spandex, heat-sensitive — 250–285°F, 15–25 sec, light to medium
Lower the heat on polyester to avoid dye migration, where the garment's dye bleeds up through the print and discolors it. It cannot be reversed.
Steps:
- Pre-press the garment 3–5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
- Position the transfer printed side down.
- Press using the settings above with firm, even pressure.
- Peel hot or cold. Peel slowly at a low angle in one motion.
- Re-press 10–15 seconds with parchment or a Teflon sheet. This is what makes the print survive washing.
Care: wait 24–48 hours before the first wash. Wash inside out in cold water, no fabric softener or bleach, tumble dry low or hang dry.

Covered: print defects, adhesion failure at our recommended settings, wrong size or design, transit damage.
Not covered: artwork problems we flagged before printing, application outside our recommended settings, the cost of blank garments damaged during application, and normal screen-to-print color variation.
Because you supplied the layout, issues caused by the file itself — designs too close to the edge, insufficient spacing, low resolution, or a non-transparent background — are not covered. We flag files we expect to print poorly where we can, but we cannot guarantee catching every issue.
Because all DTF transfers are custom printed, returns and exchanges are not accepted for change of mind.
Full terms are on our Satisfaction Guarantee and Refund & Reprint Policy pages. To report a problem, use our Order Issue Form.

Upload DTF Gang Sheets for Repeat and Contract Work
Uploading suits shops that already lay out sheets in Illustrator, CorelDRAW, Photoshop, or their own RIP software, and it shines on jobs that come back. Wholesale and contract orders with a client-approved layout, resellers restocking the same designs, and teams reordering every season all benefit from sending the same proven file again.
Build a Reorder Library
Name each file by customer, job, and length, for example rivera-softball-36in.pdf, and keep a master copy of every recurring sheet. When the next order arrives, change only what is new, re-export, and upload. Before exporting, drop small fillers such as your shop logo, neck labels, or hang-tag art into any empty space. That film is part of the sheet either way.
Keep Approvals With the File
For contract work, save the client's approval email or signed proof in the same folder as the sheet, and add a version number or date to the file name. If a client later questions a color or a design change, you can show exactly which version they approved and when.
Prepare Before Peak Seasons
Back-to-school, football season, and the holidays bring the biggest reorder rushes. Updating your recurring sheets a few weeks ahead means you can upload the moment customers call, instead of rebuilding layouts during your busiest week.

How DTF Compares
If your shop runs more than one decoration method, use this comparison to decide which jobs belong on an uploaded DTF sheet.
| DTF Transfers | Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) | Screen Printing | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-color art and gradients | Yes, printed in one pass | One color per vinyl layer | One screen per color |
| Setup charges | None | None | Screen setup for each color |
| Cutting and weeding | None | Required for every design | None |
| Short runs (1 to 24 pieces) | Practical at any quantity | Practical for simple designs | Setup makes short runs costly |
| Fabrics | Cotton, polyester, blends, nylon | Depends on the vinyl type | Best on cotton; polyester needs special ink |
| Where it wins | Multicolor designs at any quantity | One-color names, numbers, and specialty finishes | Very large runs of a single design |
