f you’ve ever uploaded a design for stickers, shirts, or transfers, you’ve probably been asked for a specific file type — PNG, SVG, or PDF. But what do those really mean? And why does it matter for your project?

For makers and businesses, understanding the difference between file formats can save you time, money, and frustration. Let’s break it down.

We hope this group grows into a place where makers of all experience levels can learn, connect, and celebrate wins together. Whether you’re pressing your first transfer or running a thriving business, your story matters and your knowledge could help someone else succeed.

A gang sheet is exactly what it sounds like: multiple designs “ganged up” onto one sheet of film. Instead of ordering each design separately, you can fill the sheet with as many logos, graphics, or artwork files as you’d like.

It’s like maximizing every inch of space you’re paying for.

DTF stands for Direct-to-Film. Instead of cutting vinyl or setting up screens, your design is printed directly onto a special film using DTF inks. Once printed, a powdered adhesive is applied and cured, creating a ready-to-press transfer.

UV DTF (Ultraviolet Direct to Film) is a cutting-edge printing method that allows us to create ready-to-apply, full-color decals that adhere to hard, smooth surfaces like glass, tumblers, mugs, plastic, wood, and more.
