The Gang Sheet Builder — design list, packed sheet and order summary
A gang sheet is one length of transfer film carrying many unrelated designs, packed as tightly as they will go. Shops sell it by the length of film used; customers fill it with whatever they need pressed. The Gang Sheet Builder is that experience inside Print.App: a purpose-built editor where customers upload their designs, say how big and how many, and get a packed, print-ready sheet without ever touching a canvas tool. It is a design type, like a regular design but with no pages of its own. You create it in the dashboard, set the film and the rules, assign it to a product, and the builder opens in place of the studio.

​
What customers do

1

Add designs

Upload files, add text in your fonts, or pick from your graphics library. Each design becomes a row in a list.
2

Set size and quantity

Width, height and copies per design. The builder checks the print resolution as they type and tells them the largest size that still passes.
3

Let it pack

Every change re-packs the sheet automatically, rotating pieces to save film when allowed. The summary shows the length used and how much of the paid length is still free.
4

Save

The sheet saves as a project, the store prices the length, and the shop receives a print-ready PDF or PNG with a transparent background.

​
What it does

Auto-nesting

A server-side packer places every copy with your gap and edge rules, rotation optional, and validates the layout before checkout.

A resolution gate

Pixels over inches, checked live. Below your floor the design is flagged with the size that would pass, and checkout can be blocked.

Design tools

Text, gallery graphics, crop and adjust, background removal, halftone and keyline outlines — each a switch on the design.

Your store's pricing

The builder measures the film; your store sets the rate — through Print Options with length tiers, or a plain theme input.

​
Two modes

  • Gang sheet — the customer builds the sheet and pays for the film length. The market’s standard product.
  • Transfers by size — the customer sets a print size and copy count per design and pays by print area with copy breaks; the shop nests the transfers behind the scenes. The same design, a different mode.

​
What the shop receives

A project with one page per sheet, sized to the film width and the billed length, with every design placed from its original file at native resolution, text and SVG graphics as vectors, and a transparent background. Output as PDF or a 300 dpi PNG. See Output and production.
The Gang Sheet Builder runs on the new PrintFx editor. Turn on Switch to new Editor in your dashboard settings before creating one.
