Auto-Build Gang Sheet
A gang sheet where uploaded designs are arranged automatically by software for maximum film coverage.
Definition
An auto-build gang sheet is a DTF gang sheet where the customer uploads a batch of design files and the production software nests them onto the sheet automatically. The auto-build algorithm rotates and positions each design to maximize coverage on the chosen film length, eliminating manual canvas work. The output is identical to a hand-arranged gang sheet, but the workflow is faster and reduces user error in spacing or sizing. Auto-build is the recommended option for decorators who run many small designs and do not need precise control over placement on the film. Pricing matches standard gang sheet rates at $0.06 per square inch.
