If you're looking for a service that prints and ships the physical transfers, you'll need a fulfillment partner. The builder generates the print-ready file you'd send to them, or to your in-house DTF printer.

Most shops we work with run 5–50 gang sheets per day. Here's what DTFGSA costs at different volumes compared to a typical Adobe Creative Cloud + manual workflow:
| Daily sheets | Monthly sheets | DTFGSA cost / mo | Time saved vs manual (est.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | ~150 | $22.50 | ~50 hours |
| 10 | ~300 | $45.00 | ~100 hours |
| 25 | ~750 | $112.50 | ~250 hours |
| 50 | ~1,500 | $225.00 | ~500 hours |
Time saved estimate: based on average ~20 minutes per gang sheet for manual nesting + white channel prep in Photoshop, vs. under 1 minute in DTFGSA.
For high-volume shops (1,000+ sheets/month), we offer a custom volume plan with discounted per-sheet rates and dedicated support. Email sales with your monthly volume for a quote.
Yes — the builder is free to use indefinitely. You can upload designs, edit, nest, and preview the gang sheet without paying. The $0.15 charge only applies when you export the production-ready file (TIFF, PSD, PDF, or PNG with spot channels).
No. DTFGSA is pure pay-as-you-go. No monthly fee, no minimum order, no per-user license. If you don't export anything one month, you don't pay anything.
Yes. Once a sheet is exported, you can re-download it as many times as needed (different formats, color corrections, etc.) at no additional charge. The $0.15 is per unique gang sheet you create, not per export action.
The auto-expanding canvas charges proportionally — so a 22"×72" sheet (twice the standard size) costs $0.30. The price scales linearly with sheet length. The advantage of expanding: nesting is more efficient on longer sheets, so you usually fit more designs per dollar.
Credit card or Apple Pay / Google Pay through Stripe Checkout. You can pre-purchase credit packs (5/10/25 sheets) at a small discount, or pay per export. Credits never expire.
Yes — if the exported gang sheet has a technical issue (malformed white channel, color shift, layer corruption), email support@dtfgangsheetapp.com with the order ID and we'll re-export or refund. Full terms in our refund policy.
