🛒 Step 1: Navigating to the Leavers Gang Sheet on DTF.uk

First things first, open your browser and head over to the DTF.uk website. On the top navigation menu, you will find an option labeled "Leavers DTF Transfer Gang Sheet". Clicking this will take you directly to the product detail page.

Here, you’ll notice a prominent green call-to-action button inviting you to "Build a DTF Gang Sheet for School Leavers." Clicking this button launches the online builder tool — a powerful resource designed to help you create customised school or university leavers transfers with ease.

🖥️ Step 2: Using the Online Builder Tool for School Leavers DTF Transfers

Once inside the online builder, you’ll see a user-friendly interface with a left-hand navigation menu dedicated to managing names and numbers. This is where you’ll input all your text elements for the leavers’ designs.

Imagine you’ve received an order for 25 university leavers from the London Business School. Your design requires three lines of text and a number, representing the quantity of leavers. The builder accommodates this by allowing you to add multiple lines of text and numbers, each with customizable size, font, and colour options.

✍️ Step 3: Adding Names and Numbers for University Leavers

Start by clicking the "Add Names" button. Here, you can pre-select the size of the text — medium size is a great default choice for most garments. Next, select the font from the existing library. If you require a unique font not currently available, simply email support@dtf.uk, and the team will happily extend the font library for you.

For my example, I’ve chosen the Dark College font. Since the garments are white, I opted for black text to ensure maximum contrast and readability.

Now, enter the three lines of text:

• Line 1: "Class"
• Line 2: "London"
• Line 3: "Business School"

Remember, even though you need 25 transfers, you only add each text line once here. The quantity is handled later in the process.

Next, add the numbers by clicking the "Add Numbers" option. Similar to text, you can select size, font (I chose Academy One), and colour (black). The number for this batch is 25, but again, add just one instance here.

📐 Step 4: Adjusting DTF Print Sizes for School Leavers

Once you’ve added all text and numbers, click "Confirm" to add them to your design board. This is where you’ll notice an important detail — if you try to create all 25 transfers right away, the text size might be way too large for typical garments.

For example, the "Business School" line might default to 469 mm, which is far too big for the back of hoodies, T-shirts, or sweatshirts. To fix this, you need to manually resize each text element to a more practical dimension. I recommend scaling down to around 28 cm (280 mm) for each line and number, which fits nicely on most apparel.

Resize each line — "Class," "London," "Business School" — and the number "25" accordingly. This step ensures your gang sheet layout is not only visually balanced but also practical for pressing onto garments.

📋 Step 5: Auto-Building the DTF Transfers Gang Sheet

Now that your design elements are sized correctly and positioned on the board, it’s time to generate the full set of transfers. Since you need 25 identical items, enter "25" in the quantity field and click "Duplicate Image". Confirm this action, and the system will create multiple gang sheets accordingly.

To streamline this process, use the "Auto Build Gang Sheet" button at the bottom of the interface. Specify you want 25 of each design and hit "Apply." The system will then efficiently arrange your transfers over approximately 4 meters of transfer material, optimising space and reducing waste.

This auto-build feature is a real time-saver and cost-efficient, especially when handling bulk orders. It neatly formats your gang sheet ready for printing and pressing without unnecessary manual adjustments.

💾 Step 6: Saving Your Gang Sheet and Placing Your Order

Once your gang sheet is ready, click "Save and Add to Cart". Accept the terms and conditions to proceed to the basket page, where you can review your order. Here, verify that the gang sheet measures approximately 4 meters and preview the final layout to ensure everything looks perfect.

After confirming your order details, proceed to checkout. Fill in your delivery and payment information, then complete your purchase. Congratulations — your DTF transfer gang sheet for school leavers is now ready to be printed and pressed!
