DTF Gang Sheet Builder: Nest Designs on a Rolling Canvas

Edited on this dummy store

Fixed-size gang sheets made sense years ago. Our rolling canvas lets you nest logos along a 24″ wide roll for exactly the length you need — pay for the area you use, not a sheet size you do not.

Why rolling canvas beats “pick a length”

  • No wasted white space at the bottom of a preset sheet.
  • Mix sizes — hat logos beside hoodie backs beside left-chest prints.
  • One checkout for a week of shop work instead of five separate orders.
  • Design Library artwork drops straight onto the canvas.

Step-by-step: build your first gang sheet

  1. Open the Gang Sheet Builder from any DTF product page.
  2. Upload PNG (300 DPI, transparent background) or pull art from Design Library.
  3. Drag designs onto the 24″ canvas — rotate, duplicate, snap to margins.
  4. Canvas length grows as you nest; minimum order is 24″ × 24″.
  5. Review square-inch pricing live, add cut lines if needed, checkout.

Nesting tips from production

  • Leave 0.25″ margin between designs unless you ordered cut service.
  • Group similar sizes — all hat panels in one row saves inches.
  • Name layers if you are reordering weekly — faster rebuilds.
  • Export a screenshot for customer approval before you pay.

FAQ

What file size should I upload?

300 DPI PNG with transparent background. Vector PDF works for line art. Minimum printable width depends on your design — we scale to your art.

Is there a maximum roll length?

Yes — see product limits in the builder. Most shops run 24″–120″ per order without issue.
