How DTFNest nests for 13 in DTF rolls
This is a roll, so each sheet is only as long as the layout needs. DTFNest rounds the used length up to the next 1 in (25.4 mm) step, and starts another sheet once a sheet would pass 100 in (2540 mm). It minimizes total length, keeps each order together when it fits, and can rotate designs 90° if that saves film.
How many designs fit
Counts below come from running the real DTFNest nesting engine on a single design size at the default 0.3 in (6.4 mm) gap with rotation allowed. Each column is a roll length; rolls can be cut to any length in steps. Mixed batches with different sizes will pack differently.
| Design size | Roll 36 in (914 mm) | Roll 60 in (1524 mm) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm) | 75 | 130 |
| 3.5 × 3.5 in (89 × 89 mm) | 27 | 45 |
| 4 × 4 in (102 × 102 mm) | 24 | 42 |
| 10 × 12 in (254 × 305 mm) | 3 | 5 |
| 11 × 14 in (279 × 356 mm) | 2 | 4 |
