Gang sheets are perfect when you have multiple images using the same colors and when you need multiple sizes of the same design.

Gang Sheet options are available in most all of our ink formulas and priced by the sheet. All gang sheet options offer a great price with no extra set up charges. The more you fit on the sheet, the lower your price is per image. This can be very useful when you need several sizes of the same logo. For example you may have a team uniform order which requires a full back print, left chest print or a full front imprint.

We recommend you leave yourself at least .25” in between each image if you're planning on cutting the images apart using scissors. If you plan on using a “chop” style cutting boards, we recommend you use at least ½” in between each designs and place your images in straight cutting lines.
