The cheapest square inch isn't the cheapest transfer.
Gang sheets look unbeatable until you add the cutting, the film you paid for but never printed on, and the file nobody looked at. Price your next order the way it actually lands — then test the math on your own artwork.
$0.19
per transfer is what others charge to pre-cut. Ours is included.
20–65%
less on real artwork, because you pay for the shape, not the box around it.
Every file
reviewed by a person before it prints — not a notes field.
Price your next order the way it actually lands.
Same artwork, same quantity, three ways to buy it. Every path ends with ready-to-press transfers in your hand — including the ones you'd lay out and cut yourself.

Save $81.30 (9%) against gang sheet + your labor — pre-cut, art-checked, no sheet to wrangle.
Four costs that never make it onto the quote.
The per-square-inch number is real. So is everything it leaves off.
Your own cutting and weeding
A gang sheet arrives as a sheet. Somebody in your shop lays it out, then cuts every transfer off it — about 30 minutes on a 250-piece order.
15 min layout + 8 s per cut at $22/hrThe pre-cut fee
Don't want to cut? Most gang-sheet suppliers will — for $0.19 a transfer. On 250 small logos that is another $47.50 on top of the print, a third of the bill.
On the supplier's own pre-cut listingFilm you paid for and never printed on
Nesting artwork onto a sheet leaves 15–20% of it empty. You pay for the whole sheet either way.
18% unprinted at a typical nesting yieldNobody looked at your file
Most gang-sheet suppliers print exactly what you upload: no proofs, no mockups, edits only if you ask in a notes field. Our art team reviews every file and fixes what you didn't know was wrong — before it prints.
One reprint erases a year of per-square-inch savingsYou pay for the shape, not the rectangle.
Everyone else bills the bounding box no matter what's inside it. We bill the printed area. On 250 pieces of 11×11″ artwork, here's what that does to the price against the cheapest ready-to-press quote.

Pro Transfers pricing analysis, September 2026True cost info, in the open.
Priced per square inch of what actually prints, in brackets that fall as your order grows. Every rate sits at or below the cheapest ready-to-press quote for an order that size.
One card, published in the open — the same rates for every account. No tiers to negotiate, no 'call for a quote,' no fees hiding in the fine print.
You pay for the shape that actually prints, pre-cut and included — never for empty film or a gang sheet you have to lay out and trim.
Every bracket already sits at or below the cheapest ready-to-press quote for an order your size, and it only falls as you grow — so you never pay more for buying less.
