DTFBuild

DTFBuild is a web-based gang sheet builder for direct-to-film (DTF) printing. According to its website, it is a software product operated by Tolbit LLC, a limited liability company registered in Wyoming, United States, and support is available at support@dtfbuild.com. DTFBuild is a layout and file-preparation tool rather than RIP software: it arranges artwork and produces print-ready files, and the shop's own RIP still handles printer settings, color profiles, and ink limits.

Users upload batches of artwork in PNG, JPG, WebP, or PDF format, including 100 or more files at a time, and the builder automatically rotates and nests the designs on the sheet to reduce wasted film. Individual designs can be resized while keeping their aspect ratio. Sheet presets cover 30 cm and 60 cm DTF rolls and A4, A3, and A2 sublimation sizes, and custom widths can be entered. Finished layouts export as transparent PNG files or PDF gang sheets at 72, 150, or 300 DPI, and the company lists AcroRIP, CADlink, DTF Station, and Kothari Print PRO as compatible RIP workflows.

The core builder is free and runs in the browser, with sheet-building processing done locally so artwork stays on the user's device during layout. Paid Starter and Pro plans add account and production features such as saved projects, higher usage allowances, store integrations, branded embeds, and white-label options; prices are shown at checkout. The company also offers a desktop version for Mac and Windows, and its submission to DTF Database describes a Shopify app and a WooCommerce plugin that let transfer sellers offer a gang sheet builder on their own websites.

DTFBuild is suited to DTF print shops, apparel decorators, transfer sellers, and designers who prepare repeated batches of artwork for film and want to skip manual layout in Illustrator or Photoshop.
