Frequently Asked Questions- FAQs
Product Technologies
What’s the difference between DTF and UV DTF, and which should I pick for a gang sheet?
DTF is heat-pressed to textiles (cotton, polyester, blends). UV DTF is a UV-cured adhesive decal for hard/semi-rigid surfaces (glass, metal, plastic, acrylic) and does not require a heat press. GangSheet offers both as 22″-wide gang sheets in multiple lengths.
What is Glow in the Dark DTF and when does it make sense?
It’s a DTF transfer that stores light and glows in the dark—great for streetwear, merch, and night visibility. At GangSheet it’s available as Glow in the Dark DTF Gang Sheets in the same 22″ width with multiple length options.
What is Glitter DTF and how does it differ from standard DTF?
Glitter DTF is a sparkle-finish variant of DTF. It applies like standard DTF but produces a shiny, light-catching effect—ideal for premium tees, event merch, spirit wear, and kids’ apparel.
Which solution fits which surface?
DTF/Glow DTF/ Glitter DTF: apparel like tees, hoodies, joggers, caps. UV DTF: bottles/tumblers, glass, metal, plastic, acrylic and other smooth items. (UV DTF is not for fabric.)
What size options do UV DTF gang sheets come in?
Fixed 22″ width with lengths typically ranging from 6″ up to 240″. Choose shorter (24–60″) for small runs or longer (120–240″) for volume.
Is there a minimum order?
GangSheet supports flexible ordering—from a single sheet to long rolls—paired with fast shipping options.
File Preparation & Upload Requirements
Which file formats should I upload?
High-resolution PNG with transparent background or vector PDF/AI/SVG. We handle the white ink underbase in production—don’t add a fake white background in your artwork.
Recommended resolution and color mode?
Aim for 300 ppi or higher (avoid <200 ppi for small type). Work in RGB; for extreme neons/saturated tones, consider a small proof first.
How should I lay out designs on a gang sheet?
The width is fixed at 22″; pick the length you need. Leave a small gap between designs for clean trimming. Use the Free DTF Gang Sheet Builder to drag-and-drop, duplicate, and optimize placement.
Can I combine designs from different clients/products on one sheet?
Do I need ICC profiles or a color sample?
Screens and prints can differ. For brand-critical colors, request a small proof/test strip and approve before full production.
Lead Times, Same-Day & Shipping
Do you offer same-day shipping? What’s the exact cutoff?
Yes. GangSheet advertises “Order DTF by 3 PM → Ships Today.” Availability depends on product, location, and carrier options shown at checkout.
How does “near me / fast delivery” work?
Speed-focused collections highlight accelerated services. Final estimates and available carriers are displayed in the cart/checkout based on your address.
How should I plan lead times for bulk orders?
Longer rolls/multiple sheets make production predictable. Choose express or standard shipping at checkout; wholesale/bulk flows are available for high volume.
What is your cancellation/return policy?
For customized prints, shipping costs are typically non-refundable, and return shipping is usually the customer’s responsibility. The governing policy text is shown during checkout.
Application Instructions (DTF & UV DTF)
How do I apply a DTF gang sheet transfer?
1) Pre-press the garment briefly to remove moisture.
2) Align the transfer.
3) Heat-press using recommended temp/time/pressure.
4) Cold/warm peel per product guidance.
5) Optional second short press to finish.
How do I apply UV DTF?
Lift the carrier carefully, squeegee onto the surface without bubbles, and burnish edges/corners. Allow ~24 hours for full adhesion before heavy handling/washing.
Which surfaces are compatible?
DTF/Glow DTF/Glitter DTF: cotton, polyester, blends. UV DTF: glass, metal, plastic, acrylic, some ceramics/wood—any clean, smooth, non-porous surface. (Not for fabric.)
Wash-care tips?
For DTF, wait 24–48 hours before first wash; wash inside-out in cold/warm on gentle; avoid high-heat tumble. For UV DTF-decorated items, hand-wash preferred and avoid harsh chemicals.
Any tips for tiny text and fine details?
Work at ≥300 ppi, ensure strong contrast, avoid over-stroking letters, and leave trim gaps between close elements.
Pricing, Sizes & Builder
How is pricing calculated?
By technology (DTF, UV DTF, Glow DTF) and the area/length you use. Packing more designs onto a single gang sheet often reduces unit cost.
Which preset sizes are most practical?
With a fixed 22″ width, common lengths include 6″, 12″, 24″, 36″, 60″, 120″, 180″, 240″. Short (24–60″) works for small batches; long (120–240″) suits volume.
What do I gain from the Free DTF Gang Sheet Builder?
Drag-and-drop layout, quick duplication, and single-sheet optimization—no extra software required—saving time and material.
Is there a builder for UV DTF gang sheets too?
Yes—UV Gang Sheet Builder follows the same 22″ layout logic tailored to adhesive decals for hard surfaces.
How do I find the most economical option?
Compare length-based prices across collections; pick the length that yields the best cost per design for your project.
Proofs, Revisions, Support & Wholesale
Do you recommend proofs/samples?
For brand colors and fine type, a small proof/test sheet is smart. Approving a proof aligns expectations before full production.
Can I change my file after approval?
You can edit freely before approval. After approval, changes may affect production schedules and may incur additional charges.
Do you offer wholesale/bulk?
Yes. Bulk/wholesale programs provide volume-based pricing and shipping planning; see the relevant collections or contact sales.
How do I reach support?
