How to make a custom DTF Gang Sheet in CANVA

·

In this article we will share how to make a gang sheet inside CANVA.

Step 1: Open CANVA up, on the right hand side you’ll see a purple button that says “create a design”. After clicking it a window will drop down, on the bottom click “Custom Size”.

Step 2: Make sure to change the size from PX to Inches. For the width you’ll enter 22 Inches for DTF or 11 Inches for UV DTF, the height depends on the size of gang sheet you plan to purchase. CANVA only goes up to 100 inches. In this tutorial, we will make a 22×108 gang sheet so we will need to separate the canvas to equal 108. We will make the height 52 and create two separate gang sheets.

Step 3: After your canvas opens, on the left hand side you’ll see a tab that says “uploads” go ahead and upload your images here. Make sure they are high quality, PNG, and also transparent.

Step 4: Click on the image you want to put on your gang sheet, By using the 4 dots around the image you can scale it to the size you’re wanting or even rotate it by using the rotation icon that appears to fit more onto the gang sheet. Once you have the correct size you may click the image and use the duplicate tool to get the same size.

Step 5: Repeat this process till you have all your desired designs laid out onto the canvas. Fill it as much as you can as long as things aren’t overlapping and you believe you will be able to cut around the designs without ruining one. If you are making it bigger then 100 Inches we will need to duplicate it, you can use the same design layout or you can create an entirely new gang sheet on the next one.
