How to Create Your Custom DTF Gang Sheet

Follow these steps to build and submit your custom transfer:

                            • Click the green button on the Custom DTF listing to open the Gang Sheet Builder
                            • Select your sheet size
                            • Upload your images and click each one to place it on the artboard
                            • Resize and arrange your designs (max adult size is 11.5” wide)
                            • Make sure designs do NOT overlap
                            • Click Submit when finished
                            • You’ll return to the product page — select the matching sheet size and add to cart

You will NOT see your design in your cart — this is normal!

⚠️ Common Issues + Fixes

Transfer not sticking?
This is almost always a pressure issue. Increase pressure and make sure your press is applying even heat.

Peeling after pressing?
Likely needs a repress. Cover with parchment and press again for 5–10 seconds.

Looks dull or faded?
Could be low-quality artwork or incorrect temperature.
