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
- Open the Gang Sheet Builder from any DTF product page.
- Upload PNG (300 DPI, transparent background) or pull art from Design Library.
- Drag designs onto the 24″ canvas — rotate, duplicate, snap to margins.
- Canvas length grows as you nest; minimum order is 24″ × 24″.
- 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.
