Quick answer: DTF gang sheets are sold by size, usually 22 to 24 inches wide by a length you choose, from small sheets around 22" x 24" up to multi-foot rolls. You pay for the film space, so the bigger the sheet you fill, the lower your cost per print. The cheapest way to buy DTF is to pack one larger sheet full of designs rather than ordering several small ones.

How gang sheet pricing works
Gang sheet pricing is based on film area, not the number of designs. That is the whole reason gang sheets are cheap: you are renting a rectangle of film and filling it with as much artwork as fits. Add a one-color logo or a full-color photo, it costs the same, because there are no per-color or per-design charges.
Three things stay true at On Target no matter the size:
- No setup fees
- No minimums
- Full color at no extra charge
So your only real lever is how efficiently you fill the sheet.
Gang sheet size guide
Exact capacity depends on your design shapes, but this gives you a realistic starting point:
| Sheet size | Best for | Roughly holds | Cost per print |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22" x 24" (small) | Testing, a few shirts | 4 to 8 adult fronts | Highest |
| 22" x 36" (medium) | A small order or drop | 8 to 15 mixed designs | Lower |
| 22" x 60" (large) | Events, teams, small biz | 15 to 25 mixed designs | Lower still |
| 22" x 120"+ (roll) | Shops and bulk runs | 40 to 80+ designs | Lowest |
The pattern is simple: the more you fill, the less each print costs.
Which gang sheet size should you buy?
Pick based on your order, then round up if you can fill it:
- Just testing a design? A small sheet keeps your spend low.
- Doing a batch of shirts? A medium or large sheet almost always beats buying several small ones.
- Running a shop, team, or event? Go big and pack it. A full roll gives you the lowest possible cost per print.
Pro move: if your sheet has empty space, add a few extra small designs (pocket logos, names, stickers) to use up the film you already paid for.
How to get the lowest cost per print
- Choose the largest sheet you can realistically fill.
- Place big designs first, then fill gaps with small ones (our builder can auto-arrange this).
- Do not leave whitespace. Empty film is money you spent for nothing.
- Keep a quarter inch between designs so they cut apart cleanly.
