Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about ordering, gang sheets, pressing, shipping and more.
Ordering & Artwork
What file format should I submit?
Please submit a high-quality .PNG with a transparent background at 300 DPI or higher. Artwork is printed as received, so please check your file carefully before submitting.
Do you remove backgrounds from images?
No. We do not remove backgrounds from customer artwork. Artwork must be submitted ready to print, and your design will be printed exactly as uploaded and shown in the preview before checkout. If you do not want a background printed, please upload a transparent PNG file.
What size should I order?
Transfer size depends on the garment and design. Check our Transfer Sizing Guide for recommended adult, youth, infant, and left-chest sizes.
Can I add to or change my order after checkout?
No. Once an order has been placed, it immediately enters our production queue and cannot be modified. Our production process is highly automated, so changes or additions cannot be guaranteed after checkout. If you need additional transfers, please place a separate order.
If you realize you've made a mistake with your order, please contact us as soon as possible. While we cannot guarantee changes can be made, we'll do our best to assist before production begins.
Why do my colors look different from my screen?
Screens and printers produce color differently, so some variation is normal. If an exact color is important, we recommend ordering a test print before placing a large order.
What are your business hours?
Our business hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (ET). We are closed on weekends and major holidays.
Gang Sheets
What is a gang sheet?
A "gang sheet" is a term used in the printing industry for a method where multiple designs are printed on the same transfer sheet. This approach is economical and efficient, as it lets you maximize each sheet by sizing and arranging your images accordingly. The term "ganging" refers to this grouping of designs on the same print job.
By using the entire sheet, you can reduce material waste and minimize costs. The more efficiently you lay out your designs on a gang sheet, the more cost-effective your print job becomes.
You can create your own gang sheet using design tools such as Canva, Photoshop, or our online gang sheet builder. Submitting your self-created gang sheet is typically less expensive than using the online builder.
To assist first-time customers, we offer help creating your initial gang sheet, so you get the most from each sheet, with all designs using the same type of material and print settings for compatibility.
Which gang sheet option should I use?
Choose We Build Your Gang Sheet if you want the easiest option. Use our Online Gang Sheet Builder if you want complete control over your layout, or shop Premade Gang Sheets for ready-to-print designs.
