A gang sheet is one of the smartest ways to get more from every print run. Rather than printing designs individually, a gang sheet groups multiple designs or multiple copies of the same design onto a single sheet, making it one of the most cost-effective printing options available for businesses, resellers, and individual customers alike. At WodiPrints, we offer custom gang sheets that give you maximum print coverage with minimum waste, so every centimetre of your sheet is working for you.
Whether you are a small business owner looking to stock up on transfer prints, a reseller needing variety across a single order, or an individual with multiple designs to bring to life, gang sheets are the most efficient way to do it.
Cost Considerations
The cost of a gang sheet is determined by the size of the sheet rather than the number of designs on it. The more efficiently you fill your sheet, the lower your cost per design becomes. There are no additional charges for switching between designs, and no minimum quantity is required per design.
Design Considerations for Gang Sheets
If you are supplying your own artwork, please follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible result:
- File formats accepted: .png (transparent background preferred), .ai, .eps, .pdf
- All artwork must be high resolution and sized exactly as you want it printed
- Allow a small gap between designs for clean cutting
- Avoid placing important details too close to the edge of any design
- White ink is used as a base layer for DTF transfers ensure your artwork accounts for this
- Submit all designs as separate files clearly labelled for easy arrangement
Advantages of Gang Sheets
- Maximum value for your budget
Because multiple designs share a single sheet, the cost per print is considerably lower than ordering each design individually ideal for anyone who wants variety without overspending.
- Perfect for small businesses and resellers
Gang sheets allow you to print multiple designs in one go, keeping your inventory varied and your costs manageable at the same time.
- No minimum quantity per design
You do not need a minimum number of each design. Include one copy of ten different designs or ten copies of one the sheet is what you are buying, not the individual prints.
- Less waste, more efficiency
By filling a sheet to capacity, you reduce material waste and make the most of every print run. WodiPrints will help you arrange your designs to maximise the available space.
- Flexible sizing
Gang sheets are available in a range of sizes to suit the scale of your order, from small runs to large collections.
Things to Consider with Gang Sheets
- Layout planning matters
The more efficiently your designs are arranged, the more value you get from your sheet. Poorly spaced layouts can result in wasted space and a higher cost per design.
- All designs print together
Because everything on a gang sheet is printed in a single run, changes cannot be made to individual designs once production has begun. Ensure all artwork is finalised before submission.
- Not suited to very large single designs
If you need one large design printed at full size, a standard individual print order may be more appropriate than a gang sheet.
- Cutting is included, fine trimming is your responsibility
WodiPrints will cut around your designs, but any fine trimming for application is the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise agreed.
Gang Sheets vs Individual Prints
Both gang sheets and individual prints are effective ways to get your designs onto garments and surfaces, but they suit different needs and order types. Gang sheets offer outstanding value for variety and small quantities, while individual prints are better suited to single large designs or high-volume runs of one design.
| Feature | Gang Sheets | Individual Prints |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per design | Very low | Standard |
| Multiple designs in one order | Excellent | Limited |
| No minimum per design | Yes | No |
| Large single design | Limited | Excellent |
| Best for small businesses & resellers | Excellent | Good |
| Flexibility | High | Moderate |
| Waste reduction | Excellent | Good |
