The free gang sheet builder for DTF & heat transfer

Stop paying per sheet and stop nudging boxes in Illustrator. Drop in your designs, hit Auto-Pack, and the nester fits them onto the film for you — then fine-tune by hand and export a print-ready PNG/PDF at full DPI. Free, no subscription, no per-sheet fees.

Pack the whole sheet in one click

Gang sheets are where DTF shops bleed money and time — either paying a vendor per square foot, or hand-arranging dozens of pieces in a design app. The Gang Sheet Builder nests them automatically with a MaxRects packer that rotates pieces to squeeze out wasted film, so you fit more per sheet and buy less.

What it does

  • Auto-pack nesting. MaxRects bin-packing with optional 90° rotation fits your designs tight.
  • DTF roll presets + custom sizes. Common film widths built in, or set any sheet size, margin, and gap.
  • Per-design width & quantity. Add an image once, print it five times at the size you need.
  • Hand fine-tuning. Drag pieces, nudge with arrow keys, rotate (R), duplicate (Ctrl+D), delete — and overlaps highlight red so nothing collides.
  • Print-ready export. Full-DPI PNG or PDF, plus a job-ticket text file for the press.
  • Save & reload jobs. Store the whole layout as a file so a repeat order is one click.
