UV Gang Sheet Builder

A gang sheet is priced by the inch of roll it consumes, which is not the same as the area of your artwork.

How it works

UV Gang Sheet Builder, step by step

UV DTF is sold by the roll — fixed width, whatever length you need, billed by the foot. So the question is not how many sheets, it is how short can this be. Drop your designs, set quantities, and it lays them out at true size, tells you the length you will be billed for, and divides it down to the cost of a single decal.

  1. Drop your designsSVG or PNG. A PNG is sized from its pixels at your print resolution.
  2. Set the size and the countHow big each decal prints, and how many you need.
  3. Set your rollWidth, gap, edge margin and what you pay per linear foot.
  4. Build the sheetYou get the layout, the length, and the cost per decal.

Why it is built this way

The decisions behind it

Length is the billYou pay by the foot, so packing tight is money. Rows of similar heights waste almost nothing vertically, and that is what the packer goes for.
Cost per decal, not per sheetThe number you actually price against. Send it straight to Product Pricing as your material cost.
Honest about what it is notThis prices the material. Ink draw depends on your printer, your RIP and how much white underbase the art needs — that needs calibration, not a formula.

Questions

UV Gang Sheet Builder — common questions

How do I build a UV DTF gang sheet?

Set your roll width, add each decal with the quantity you need, and the builder packs them into rows down the roll. It reports the length consumed, which is what you are actually billed for, rather than the total artwork area, which is not.

How should I price individual decals on a gang sheet?

By the share of roll length each one consumes, plus its share of the fixed cost of running the sheet at all. A small decal in a row set by a tall neighbour costs you that neighbour’s height, which is why per-area pricing quietly loses money on mixed sheets.

What spacing should I leave between decals?

Enough to weed and cut without clipping a neighbour. Around 0.125 in is a common working gap, tighter if you are confident in your cutter’s registration. The builder makes the trade-off visible: shrink the gap and watch the roll length drop.
