Pick the right path
DTF-only, gang sheets, or finished apparel
The best turnaround depends on what Indy DTF needs to produce. Transfers are simpler than finished garments, so the order path matters.
Gang sheet builder
Best when several DTF designs can share one sheet. This can still move quickly when the sheet is ready to print and easy to trim.
Build a gang sheetRolling gang sheet
Best for longer DTF transfer runs. Larger sheets can need extra review time, especially with many files or tight spacing.
Start rolling sheetFinished shirts and apparel
Best when Indy DTF prints the garments for you. Plan for 1-3 business days because apparel includes garment handling, placement, pressing, and quality checks.

What changes the turnaround time?
A simple transfer order and a mixed apparel order are not the same production job. These details help customers choose a realistic deadline before checkout.
Print-ready artwork
Transparent, high-resolution, correctly sized art helps DTF-only orders move faster because the file does not need extra cleanup.
Order cutoff
Eligible DTF-only orders use a 2 PM ET same-day pickup cutoff and a 3 PM ET same-day shipping cutoff. Late-day orders may start the next business day.
Finished apparel
Shirts, hoodies, and mixed-size jobs need garment handling and pressing time, so the normal turnaround is usually 1-3 business days.
Large or complex orders
Bulk quantities, multiple designs, special notes, artwork issues, or quote review can add time before production is complete.

Fast-file checklist
Help your order qualify for the quickest realistic path.
- Upload transparent, high-resolution artwork without an unwanted background or halo.
- Set the design to the final print size before checkout when possible.
- Use gang sheet spacing that leaves enough room for trimming.
- Place eligible DTF-only orders before 2 PM ET for same-day pickup or 3 PM ET for same-day shipping when you need the fastest available timing.
- Use the bulk inquiry form for shirts, hoodies, mixed apparel, large quantities, or deadline-sensitive finished apparel jobs.
Clear timing
DTF-only can be fastest; apparel needs a little room.
- DTF-only transfer orders When artwork is ready and the order meets the pickup or shipping cutoff, transfers and gang sheets can move through the fastest production path.
- Shirts plus DTF Finished apparel normally takes 1-3 business days because Indy DTF must prepare the garment, place the print, press it, and check the order.
- Pickup and delivery Local pickup starts after production is complete. Shipping speed depends on the service selected at checkout and carrier transit time.
Questions
