What are DTF Gangsheets?

Let's delve into the concept of DTF Gang Sheets. First, we need to grasp the notion of a 'gang sheet'.

In the printing realm, 'gang' refers to consolidating numerous graphics onto a single sheet with specific dimensions. These dimensions are dictated by the technical specifications of the printing apparatus and customised to suit the final product requirements. Consequently, a 'gang sheet' encompasses larger sheets bearing various images and content, such as those found in newspapers, magazines, or other printed materials.

DTF, an acronym for Direct to Film, represents a relatively recent decorating technique. It entails applying ink onto appropriate film utilising specialised transfer adhesive specifically crafted for fabrics. Transfers generated through this method are easily transportable and can be applied to suitable materials, yielding decorations of high quality and durability.

The DTF decoration technique proves advantageous not only for bulk production but also for small-volume transfers due to its cost-effective nature, regardless of the quantity of sheets printed. DTF prints are also lauded for their ability to deliver vibrant colours, seamless tonal transitions, and crisp printing edges.

To sum up, a DTF Gang Sheet constitutes a sheet containing graphics and/or text intended for printing utilising the DTF method. These sheets, from Trade Embroidery, come in a standard size of 540mm x 1000mm and can be ordered in as many lengths as required.

Printing DTF Gang Sheets opens a plethora of possibilities for both printers and their clientele. It provides substantial freedom in personalising the printing sheet, enabling customers to incorporate various graphics in any colour, arrangement, and size while adhering to the available dimensions of the printing sheets.

What drives customers to purchase DTF Gang Sheets?

One of the primary advantages of this solution lies in maximising the utilisation of available sheet space, thereby minimising material wastage during transfer production. Incorporating diverse graphics of varying sizes and shapes onto the sheet does not compromise print quality or extend the working time associated with the order.

Customers seeking to materialise their dream images appreciate the convenience of printing any graphics on a single sheet without constraints on the number of colours or the size and quantity of individual graphics. Ordering sheets containing a wide array of graphics with tonal transitions is a convenience that significantly influences customers’ decisions when selecting DTF sheets.

Another benefit is the cost efficiency of printing individual sheets, unlike methods such as screen printing, etc. Producing a DTF Gang Sheet merely necessitates a print-ready design, obviating the need to print a film or prepare additional materials for printing.

Furthermore, this printing method allows for the independent positioning of graphics on a sheet, which proves especially advantageous when a customer wishes to order printouts of multiple graphics with varying shapes and sizes.
