Southeast Prints offers DTF gang sheets in a range of standard sizes, from the compact 22 x 24 inch option all the way up to the expansive 22 x 72 inch sheet. Each size serves different production needs, and choosing the right one for your order can save you money, speed up your workflow, and make your gang sheet layout more efficient. This guide helps you understand which size to choose for your specific situation.
Understanding Gang Sheet Dimensions
All Southeast Prints gang sheets are 22 inches wide. The varying dimension is the length — the sheet can be 24, 36, 48, 60, or 72 inches long. The width stays fixed at 22 inches because that matches the standard printing width of our professional DTF printers, ensuring your designs always print at full quality across the entire printable area.
22 x 24 Inches (Smallest Size)
The 22 x 24 inch sheet is ideal for small orders or for testing new designs before committing to larger quantities. If you're printing 3 to 8 designs in standard sizes (4 to 10 inches wide), this sheet gives you a manageable amount of transfers at the lowest price point. It's popular with individuals who need a few custom shirts for a personal event, for small boutique restocking orders, or for quick-turnaround specialty items like one-off personalized gifts.
22 x 36 Inches
The 22 x 36 inch sheet is a versatile mid-sized option popular with smaller businesses and creative shops. It accommodates approximately 10 to 20 standard designs depending on their sizes, making it suitable for small run orders, product launches, and event-specific apparel runs. This is also a popular choice for gang sheets containing a mix of multiple sizes — a few large designs supplemented by smaller name strips or logo placements.
22 x 48 Inches
The 22 x 48 inch sheet is one of the most popular for established custom apparel businesses. It offers the versatility to handle collections of 15 to 30+ designs and represents an excellent balance of volume and cost efficiency. Many businesses use this size for their standard restock orders, fitting their full collection of popular designs onto one sheet for efficient production.
22 x 60 Inches
The 22 x 60 inch sheet steps up into serious production volume. This size is appropriate for businesses running regular high-volume orders, those with large design libraries, or operations that consolidate multiple customer orders onto a single sheet for maximum efficiency. At this size, the cost per design drops significantly compared to smaller sheets.
22 x 72 Inches (Largest Size)
The 22 x 72 inch sheet is the maximum size and is designed for high-volume production operations. If you're running dozens of different designs, processing multiple customer orders simultaneously, or building out inventory for a large event or wholesale order, this is the most cost-effective choice per square inch of print area.
How to Choose the Right Size
The simplest way to choose your gang sheet size is to first determine how many designs you need and at what dimensions, then estimate how much total area they'll occupy. Add 20% buffer for spacing and imperfect nesting, and choose the sheet size that most closely matches your estimated area without going too far over.
