Add-On Service

Cut-Up Service for DTF Gang Sheets (Houston)

Cut-Up Service turns your DTF gang sheet into individual, ready-to-grab transfers so you skip the cutting table and go straight to pressing.

Pricing is $0.20 per printed design instance on the sheet — every repeat counts as one item.

You can add it per sheet in your cart, keep the gang sheet cost savings, and still qualify for Houston same-day pickup when placing DTF orders before cutoff.

What “Cut-Up Service” Actually Means

When you add Cut-Up Service to a gang sheet, every individual design instance on that sheet becomes its own separate cut transfer.

If you have 1 design repeated 100 times, you get 100 cut pieces. If you have 20 designs with mixed sizes and quantities, you get each one cut out.

You keep the gang sheet workflow and savings without the cutting workload.

You keep the efficiency. We handle the hassle. Every design arrives as its own ready-to-press piece.

Will Cut-Up Service Affect Same-Day Speed?

Who Should Use Cut-Up Service?

Use It If

  • You are doing volume — dozens to hundreds of presses
  • You have multiple designs and sizes and don't want cutting chaos
  • You are fulfilling rush orders and time matters more than pennies
  • You want your workflow to feel like a production line, not a craft table

Skip It If

  • It is a tiny order and cutting takes you 5 minutes
  • You intentionally design with big spacing and don't mind trimming
  • You are not in a time crunch and want maximum margin

Pro Tips for Cleaner Cuts

scattered layout58% efficient
  • Tighter spacing = better print efficiency, but harder cutting. If you plan to use Cut-Up Service, give moderate breathing room between designs.
  • Larger gaps = easier and safer cuts, but less space efficiency. Balance based on whether you value speed or margin more.
  • Don't pack designs like a puzzle with zero breathing room if you want clean individual transfers.
  • Download your proof (PNG/PDF) and approve before production to avoid delays.

File And Artwork Expectations

  • Use high-resolution artwork at 300 DPI or higher for clean print quality.
  • Transparent PNG or vector formats (SVG, PDF) are ideal for clean edges after cutting.
  • Minimum line thickness: at least 1 pt to avoid detail loss in production.
  • If you are unsure about your files, review the file requirements page before you submit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you count items for the $0.20 fee?
Each individual print instance on the sheet counts as one item. One design repeated 100 times equals 100 items.
Can I add Cut-Up Service to only one gang sheet in my cart?
Yes. Cut-Up Service is applied at the sheet level, not the order level. Add it only where you need it.
Do gang sheets normally arrive cut?
No. Standard gang sheets ship rolled and uncut, which is exactly why Cut-Up Service exists as an add-on.
Can I still get same-day pickup in Houston with Cut-Up Service?
Yes. For DTF orders placed by 2:00 PM CT Monday through Saturday, same-day pickup is available at the Bellaire Blvd facility with 24/7 locker access.
Will Cut-Up Service slow down my same-day order?
Most same-day orders process normally, but orders with artwork issues or complex special instructions can push timing closer to the 10:00 PM CT service window.
What spacing should I use in the gang sheet builder for best cutting results?
Tighter spacing maximizes print efficiency but makes cutting harder. If you plan to add Cut-Up Service, moderate spacing gives the best balance of cost and clean cuts.
What file formats work best with Cut-Up Service?
Use high-resolution artwork at 300 DPI or higher. Transparent PNG or vector formats are ideal for clean edges after cutting.
