Are DTF gang sheets cheaper than ordering individual transfers?

September 28, 2026LuxPort Print Co

Often yes. Packing multiple designs—or many copies of one design—onto one DTF gang sheet usually lowers the cost per transfer compared with ordering every design as a separate sheet. Gang sheets are especially useful when you need mixed logos, different sizes, or batch names for a crew.

Why gang sheets can cost less

An individual transfer is priced as its own piece. With a gang sheet, several transfers share the same sheet area and printing setup, so you can use the available space more efficiently. Instead of buying one sheet for a logo, another for a name, and another for a small batch, you can arrange them together, cut them apart, and press each transfer when needed.

The savings depend on the artwork’s dimensions, the number of designs, and how much of the sheet you use. A gang sheet is not automatically cheaper for every order, especially when you need only one large design. The best comparison is the total usable transfer area—not just the number of graphics.

When individual transfers make sense

Individual transfers may be simpler when you need one design, one size, or a very large print. LuxPort DTF transfer pricing ranges from $3.99–$8.99 for single transfers. Large 12-inch transfers are listed at $9.99, $12.99, or $16.99 depending on the option. If your artwork already fits one of those choices, ordering a single transfer can be the most straightforward route.

When a gang sheet is the better value

Gang sheets are often a better fit for contractors, teams, events, makers, and small businesses that need several related transfers. You might combine a chest logo, larger back logo, employee names, sleeve marks, or multiple copies of the same design. LuxPort’s 12-inch gang sheet options range from $9.99–$129.99, so the value comes from how efficiently you fill the sheet and how many usable transfers you get from it.

They can also help when you are pressing shirts yourself. You receive the transfers together, cut them apart, and apply them as needed. That works well for small batches or changing quantities without ordering a separate sheet for every name or logo.

Transfers or finished shirts?

If you want LuxPort to provide the finished garments, custom DTF shirts are available at $24.99 each. For larger groups, crew packs may be more practical: the listed options include 12 for $155.88, 24 for $311.76, and 50 for $649.50. A digital proof helps you review the artwork before production, whether you need transfers or shirts.

How to compare your order

Send your artwork online and include the designs, quantities, and approximate print sizes you need. LuxPort can compare individual transfers with a gang-sheet layout and show the proposed arrangement in a free digital proof. You can approve the proof before anything is printed.
