Step 1: Pick the right ordering method (3 options)

Option A — Build a Gang Sheet (best for multiple designs)

Choose this when you want to pack several designs into one sheet to save money and reduce waste.

✅ Best for:

  • apparel brands printing multiple SKUs

  • Etsy sellers

  • team orders (names, numbers, logos)

  • bulk runs of different designs

Option B — Upload Your DTF Gang Sheet (best if your layout is already done)

Choose this when you already built your gang sheet in your design software and just need it printed.

✅ Best for:

  • designers with print-ready gang sheets

  • repeat orders using the same layout

  • customers who want maximum control over spacing and layout

Option C — DTF Transfers By Size (best for single designs)

Choose this when you want one design printed in specific sizes and quantities, without building a full sheet.

✅ Best for:

  • left chest logos

  • full front designs

  • sleeve prints

  • single custom orders

Step 2: Prepare your artwork correctly (this prevents delays)

Before you upload anything, make sure your file matches DTF 2 Print’s requirements:

✅ Upload standards:

  • PNG format

  • Transparent background

  • 300 DPI

  • Set to the exact print size

  • Don’t upscale blurry images

  • If uploading a gang sheet: max width is 22 inches

  • Leave at least 0.25" spacing between designs (for easier cutting)

Full rules here: https://www.dtf2print.com/pages/artwork-upload-guidelines

If your file doesn’t match these standards, it can cause:

  • pixelation

  • thin lines breaking

  • rough edges

  • design lifting after pressing

Step 3: Choose your sizes like a pro (avoid ordering mistakes)

If you’re ordering Transfers By Size, use these tips:

Common size picks

  • Left chest: typically smaller than a full front

  • Full front: larger, centered design

  • Sleeve prints: narrow and tall

  • Back prints: can be large depending on garment

If you’re ordering Gang Sheets, the goal is to fit as many usable prints as possible while keeping them easy to cut.

Best option for maximizing space:
