Single Image vs Gang Sheet
Single Image
Art submitted for a single image sheet can contain only one single, unique image. We define single images as a transfer sheet that is intended to be applied in one press. To make placement easy, each design comes cut to the size of the artwork you upload.
Single image sheets are great for:
-
- One placement prints, like full front or back
- Ecommerce fulfillment
Gang Sheet
Art submitted for a gang sheet can contain as many images as can fit within the selected sheet. Use scissors or a paper cutter to cut apart your designs. We recommend leaving 0.25" - 0.5" space between each design.
Gang sheets are great for:
-
- Multiple sizes and placements, like full back and left chest
- Higher volume quantities of smaller designs, like tagless labels

Save Your Artwork At The Exact Size You Want It To Print
