5 Smart Ways to Use Gang Sheets to Maximize Profit
If you're in the custom apparel business, every inch of material counts—especially when you're ordering DTF gang sheets. At Southeast Prints, we give you the freedom to pack your sheet however you like. That means more designs, more flexibility, and ultimately… more profit.
But how exactly can you make the most of your gang sheet? Whether you're just getting started or already have a loyal customer base, here are 5 proven strategies to help you squeeze the most value out of every order.
1. Combine Multiple Designs for One Client
Let’s say your customer wants a set of designs for their business—left chest logos, back prints, sleeve tags, and maybe a hat logo too. Instead of ordering each design separately, you can fit them all on a single gang sheet. This saves time and money, and makes production more efficient.
👉 Pro Tip: Group similar-sized logos together in rows to maximize space.
2. Build a “Brand Kit” with Reusable Elements
If you're running your own brand, gang sheets are a great way to print your go-to assets in bulk:
-
Logo variations
-
Sizing/care labels
-
Taglines or slogans
-
QR codes for your website or social
Having a sheet ready with your branding elements means you’re never scrambling for the right file or trying to match colors on the fly.
3. Prepare for Holidays and Seasonal Drops
Seasonal trends come and go fast, so having themed designs ready to go is key. Use your gang sheets to build mini collections for:
-
Valentine’s Day
-
Fourth of July
-
Halloween
-
Christmas
-
Local events or school spirit wear
Customers love limited-edition drops—and you'll love how quickly you can press and ship once your sheets arrive.
4. Offer Custom Placement Options
Your customers might want more than just a front or back print. Use your gang sheets to include:
-
Left chest + full back designs
-
Sleeve prints
-
Nape tags
-
Shorts or jogger logos
All these options allow you to upsell and offer more premium packages—without needing additional sheets.
5. Resell Small-Batch Transfers
Got extra room on your gang sheet? Fill it with trendy quotes, mini graphics, or niche slogans and resell the transfers. It’s a great way to generate passive income or test new design ideas.
You can also partner with other small shops or boutiques who want transfers but don’t want to deal with ordering in bulk.
