You want fast, affordable DTF prints that scale for small runs and wholesale, without sacrificing color or durability. Whether you sell on Etsy, run a boutique apparel line, or print team uniforms, getting quality transfers shipped quickly matters.
That is why Five Star DTF built a workflow that combines low-cost, high-color cheap dtf gang sheets nationwide shipping with same-day turnaround and local pickup in Tempe, Arizona. Read on for pricing, turnaround tips, press settings, and how to order gang sheets that keep margins healthy and customers happy.
Why gang sheets are the best choice for small businesses
Gang sheets let you combine many small designs on one big DTF sheet to reduce cost per print. Instead of ordering single transfers per design, gang sheets maximize ink usage and lower waste. Benefits include:
- Reduced cost per piece for small runs and sample orders.
- Faster fulfillment, because several designs print at once.
- Ideal for Etsy sellers, pop-up shops, and custom merchandise where quantity and variety matter.
Here at Five Star DTF we emphasize fast turnaround, same-day printing for local customers, and nationwide shipping for businesses that need quick restocks. Learn more about our core product offerings like our DTF Transfers and specialty options such as UV DTF Stickers and Glitter DTF Transfers.
Pricing model and how to keep costs low
Cheap gang sheets do not mean cheap quality. Here’s how to keep your costs down while keeping prints premium:
- Gang multiple small designs onto standard sheet sizes to lower the per-design price.
- Use economy white-base printing for basic color fills, upgrade to heavy white for dark fabrics only when needed.
- Choose fewer color layers and cleaner vectors to reduce ink use.
- Order staggered restocks and take advantage of our free shipping threshold, all orders over $100 ship free.
We price gang sheets with no minimums, so you can test designs without committing to bulk runs. For pricing details and to place a low-cost order, visit our DTF product page: Order DTF Transfers.

Print quality: what to expect from cheap gang sheets
Cheap should not equal flimsy. Our gang sheets are printed on high-opacity PET film with vibrant pigment inks and a durable adhesive layer. Expect:
- Vivid color reproduction on both light and dark garments.
- Soft hand feel, minimal stiffness after pressing.
- Strong washability when pressed correctly — suitable for cotton and polyester.
For best results, follow our press guidelines: temperature, time, and pressure details are in our Instructions.
Best practices: artwork and gang sheet layout
Here’s how to prepare art for low-cost gang sheets:
- Vectorize logos and keep text at least 10-12 pt at final size for crisp edges.
- Use flattened PNGs with transparent backgrounds if you need raster art.
- Keep identical background colors grouped to save ink and layout space.
- Request proofing and gang-sheet mockups — we offer layout help and vector cleanup.

Heat press tips for best durability
- Temperature: 320-335°F (160-168°C) for most transfers.
- Press time: 10-15 seconds for standard DTF.
- Pressure: medium firm, consistent across the garment.
- Post-press: peel cold for softer hand, or warm peel for higher durability depending on film type.
Always test one sample before a full run. More advanced settings for glitter, heavy white, or UV DTF sticker presses are on our Instructions page.

- Single small-gang sheet run (10 designs): lowest entry cost, 1-3 business days standard turnaround.
