Custom Flags

 

There are a few parts to having custom flags made that you need to be aware of. These parts below are important when asking for a custom flag quote so you receive the best price possible.

  • Flag Quantity this is an important one, though we will print 1 custom flag you will find the cost is a lot cheaper when you ask for 2 or more custom made flags to be printed. Most cases 1 flag will be printed by digital print and though you get a beautiful printed flag the colors are not as rich as screen printed images also bear in mind not all images can be screen print.

  • Flag Colors the more colors in the design the higher the cost, if your image has faded and gradient colors we have to print via digital print which in larger orders will work out more costly as to screen print when the cost will be cheaper. screen printed custom flags need to have spot solid colors.

  • Location/Material important if the custom flags are for promo use you only need 100D polyester as this is the most cost effective if your flags are going outside on a flag pole you will need either 200D knitted polyester or higher.

  • Single Sided or Double Sided single sided for custom flags is most common the flags image is printed one side and bleeds through to the back in reverse, the flags are lighter and fly in the wind easier these are of course half the cost of double sided flags. Double sided flags are 2 custom flags printed and sewn together with a block out material to stop the see through so you get the image correct both sides. These flags are heavier, more costly and takes more wind to move them.

  • Fixtures this part of the custom flags does not attract any cost you just need to work out what will work best for you and what you are wanting the flags to be used for, so for example having a sleeve means you can slide the custom flags onto a pole, having brass eyelets means you can hang the flags on a flag pole.

 

Taking these above points into consideration - size, quantity, colour/s, location, material and single sided or double sided are all important factors to be considered when requesting a quote for the custom flags you require.

 

 

Common sizes for custom flags are:

4" x 6"- 12" x 18" - 16" x 24" - 2'x 3' - 3' x 6' - 3' x 5' - 4' x 6' - 5' x 8' - 6' x 10'

Should you choose single sided or double sided...

Single sided flag sample:

 

Front

singlesided1

Back

singlesided2

 

 

As you can see the wording on a single sided flag will read in reverse on the back side. This type of custom flag takes little wind to move it and is the most common way for custom flags.

Double sided flag sample:

 

Front

doublesided1

Back

doublesided2

 

 

 

As you can see the wording reads correct on the back side. This flag take a lot wind to move it as it is very heavy and is not the most common.
