How to Build a Gang Sheet
Building a gang sheet correctly allows you to print multiple designs on one sheet, maximize print space, and reduce production costs. Follow these simple steps to prepare your gang sheet before uploading.
Step 1: Prepare Your Artwork
Before arranging your gang sheet, make sure each design is ready for printing.
Recommended artwork setup:
-
PNG file format
-
Transparent background
-
300 DPI resolution
-
Sized exactly how you want it printed
Each design should already be prepared at the final print size.
Step 2: Choose the Correct Sheet Size
Select the gang sheet size that best fits your designs. A gang sheet allows you to place multiple logos, graphics, or sizes on a single sheet.
Using the available space efficiently helps reduce printing cost and improves production efficiency.
Step 3: Arrange Your Designs
Place your designs onto the sheet layout and organize them carefully.
Best practices:
-
Leave small spacing between designs for easy cutting
-
Avoid overlapping artwork
-
Keep designs straight and aligned
-
Remove unnecessary empty space
Efficient layout helps maximize the printable area.
Step 4: Confirm Design Sizes
Double-check that each design is the correct size for the garment placement.
Common placements include:
-
Left chest logos
-
Full front prints
-
Full back prints
-
Sleeve prints
Once printed, designs will appear exactly as sized on your gang sheet.
Step 5: Export Your File
Once your gang sheet layout is complete, export the file using the recommended format:
PNG with transparent background at 300 DPI
Make sure the file dimensions match the gang sheet size you selected.
Step 6: Upload Your Gang Sheet
Upload your completed gang sheet through the ordering system.
Your file will be printed exactly as submitted, so please review the layout carefully before placing your order.
