If you have a bulk apparel order in Chicago, ordering individual DTF transfers for every design can make your production workflow more complicated. A DTF gang sheet lets you place multiple designs together on one sheet, helping you organize transfers for T-shirts, hoodies, uniforms, events, clothing drops, and other apparel orders.
EZDTF Maker prints custom DTF gang sheets in its Chicago facility and offers an online Gang Sheet Builder where you can arrange, resize, and duplicate multiple designs on one sheet. For qualifying orders placed before 11 AM CT, EZDTF currently states that same-day shipping or Chicago pickup is available.
If you're trying to decide where to order DTF gang sheets in Chicago, this guide explains how gang sheets work, when they're better than individual transfers, how to choose the right sheet size, and how to order from EZDTF Maker.

You can order custom DTF gang sheets from EZDTF Maker online and have them produced at its Chicago facility.
EZDTF's Gang Sheet Builder allows you to upload multiple designs and arrange them on a sheet before ordering. You can resize and duplicate artwork to make better use of the available print area.
For businesses with multiple apparel designs or larger orders, a gang sheet can be a more practical option than ordering every transfer separately.
A DTF gang sheet is a larger transfer sheet containing multiple individual designs arranged together.
Instead of ordering:
as separate transfers, you can arrange them together on one sheet.
For example, a T-shirt business preparing an apparel drop might need:
Rather than treating each design as a completely separate print job, a gang sheet can organize multiple designs into one production sheet.
The main idea is simple:
More designs on one sheet = better use of the available transfer area.
Gang sheets are particularly useful when your apparel order contains multiple designs, sizes, or repeated graphics.
A clothing brand may have several designs for one collection.
A print shop may be fulfilling different customer orders.
An event company may need several logos and graphics.
A gang sheet gives you a way to organize those designs together.
If you need the same logo on 20 shirts, you can duplicate the artwork within your gang sheet rather than creating a separate order for each shirt.
EZDTF's builder specifically allows users to resize and duplicate designs while arranging the sheet.
When you're ordering several designs, using the available sheet space efficiently can reduce wasted transfer area.
EZDTF currently offers gang sheet sizes from 2 feet through 20 feet, with larger sheets receiving progressively higher listed discounts.
The exact sheet length you need depends on the size and quantity of your designs.
This is one of the most important decisions when ordering DTF transfers.
EZDTF's By Size product is specifically positioned for individual designs and specific sizes.
EZDTF's own product guidance similarly recommends By Size for a single design and Gang Sheets for multiple designs, particularly when ordering five or more different designs.
One design → By Size
Multiple designs → Gang Sheet
Bulk apparel order → Compare Gang Sheet options first
There isn't one fixed number because the answer depends on the size of each design.
A sheet filled with small chest logos can produce far more transfers than the same sheet filled with large 10" × 12" front graphics.
For example, EZDTF's current site gives a general planning example:
The site's guidance currently suggests using the builder to see how designs fit before ordering.
That's why you should not choose a gang sheet length simply because another apparel business used that size.
Your artwork dimensions determine the actual capacity.
Before ordering a bulk DTF gang sheet, make a list of:
For example, suppose you're producing 30 shirts.
You might need:
Those designs have different dimensions, so the most efficient sheet layout will depend on the actual artwork.
Instead of guessing, upload your artwork to the EZDTF Gang Sheet Builder and arrange the designs based on their required sizes.
The EZDTF Gang Sheet Builder is designed to let you organize your artwork before placing the order.
Start by uploading the artwork you want to include.
EZDTF recommends PNG with a transparent background and also accepts JPG, PDF, PSD, and AI files according to its current website guidance.
Place your artwork onto the gang sheet canvas.
Adjust each design according to the size required for your garment.
For example:
Left chest logo: smaller
Full front: larger
Back graphic: potentially larger
If you need the same design multiple times, duplicate it within the builder.
Arrange your designs so you make practical use of the sheet area.
Check:
Then place your order.
Gang sheets can be especially useful for Chicago clothing brands preparing a new apparel collection.
Instead of producing one transfer at a time, you can organize several designs for the same collection.
For example, a streetwear drop might include:
Putting those designs into a gang sheet can make the transfer-ordering process easier to manage.
EZDTF Maker works with clothing brands, print shops, creators, and other apparel businesses that need custom DTF transfers. Its Chicago-focused service pages specifically mention small batches, drops, print shops, sports teams, restaurants, gyms, events, and promotional businesses.
Print shops can also use gang sheets when several customer orders need to be produced at the same time.
Imagine a print shop has five customer orders:
Customer 1: 10 shirts
Customer 2: 15 shirts
Customer 3: 8 shirts
Customer 4: 20 shirts
Customer 5: 12 shirts
Each order may contain different artwork.
Instead of treating every design as a separate transfer order, the shop can organize compatible designs into gang sheets.
This can make sense when the shop already has the heat-press workflow but wants to outsource DTF transfer production.
Bulk apparel isn't limited to clothing brands.
Gang sheets can also be useful for:
Multiple player names, numbers, team logos, or event graphics.
Employee shirts, logos, department graphics, or promotional designs.
Event branding, sponsor logos, dates, and merchandise graphics.
Club graphics, team designs, graduation apparel, or fundraiser shirts.
Multiple customer logos and branded apparel designs.
The key advantage is the same:
Multiple transfer designs can be organized into one production workflow.
For Chicago businesses, the location of the DTF production facility can matter when deadlines are tight.
EZDTF Maker states that its custom gang sheets are printed in-house at its Chicago facility and are not outsourced.
The company currently lists its Chicago location as:
5750 W Bloomingdale Ave, Chicago, IL 60639
and states that same-day pickup is available.
That gives Chicago-area customers an option beyond simply ordering online and waiting for a distant production facility to process the job.
Your gang sheets are produced at EZDTF's Chicago facility.
EZDTF currently states that qualifying orders placed before 11 AM CT can receive same-day shipping or Chicago pickup.
The online Gang Sheet Builder lets you arrange your designs yourself before ordering.
The current builder offers multiple sheet lengths, allowing you to choose according to your production requirements.
Before clicking checkout, check these five things.
Don't estimate the size.
Know whether each design is intended for a chest, full front, back, sleeve, or another application area.
Count how many finished garments you'll produce.
Then determine how many copies of each design are needed.
Use a high-quality, print-ready file.
EZDTF recommends PNG with a transparent background and reviews uploaded files before printing.
Make sure your designs fit comfortably and are not accidentally oversized.
If the apparel order is time-sensitive, check the current production cutoff and shipping/pickup option before ordering.
The answer depends on your production workflow.
Don't automatically choose the largest sheet available.
The best sheet size is the one that matches your actual designs and production schedule.
If you only have one design, a gang sheet may not be necessary.
EZDTF Maker's DTF Transfers By Size option may be easier when you're ordering one design at a specific size. The product is pre-cut and ready to press, with multiple available sizes and bulk quantities.
For example:
One logo → By Size
100 copies of one logo → By Size with quantity
10 different designs → Gang Sheet
Several designs for a clothing collection → Gang Sheet
This simple comparison can help you choose the right EZDTF product before placing an order.
For customers with urgent apparel orders, production time is an important consideration.
EZDTF Maker currently states that orders placed before 11 AM CT qualify for same-day shipping or Chicago pickup, subject to the applicable order and fulfillment conditions.
If your order is needed for:
prepare your artwork ahead of time and check the current cutoff before submitting the order.
For Chicago pickup, EZDTF lists its location at 5750 W Bloomingdale Ave, Chicago, IL 60639.
| Feature | DTF Gang Sheet | DTF By Size |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple designs | Excellent fit | Less convenient |
| One design | Possible | Excellent fit |
| Bulk apparel | Excellent fit | Good |
| Specific individual size | You control layout | Excellent |
| Multiple logos | Excellent | Less efficient |
| Clothing collection | Excellent | Less convenient |
| Small design test | Possible | Usually easier |
| Layout control | Yes | No layout required |
The important point is that neither option is automatically better for every order.
Choose based on how many designs you're producing and how you want to manage the apparel workflow.
