Custom Flags
Design
Printed Flags
Each custom printed flag is made specifically to the customer’s requirements in terms of size, design and colors. A vector graphic file (.pdf, .svg, .ai ) is required for any artwork to be incorporated into a printed. Colors can be matched to PMS color codes, if available.
Applique Sewn Flags
As with printed flags, vector graphics are preferred for any design to be included in the flag. For projects with no existing artwork – we can help with some basic design elements such as lettering and font. We may also be able to convert non-vector artwork you may have. Due to our limited in-house graphic capabilities, however, it may be best to utilize an outside graphic vendor for more complicated graphic needs.
Materials
Nylon
All of our sewn flags are made from the highest quality American-made UV resistant flag nylon in both 200 and 400 denier. Between our three primary suppliers, we have access to over 70 colors of nylon (PMS codes available) for virtually any design need – in addition to specialty materials such as nylon foil (gold and silver); 2-ply spun polyester (OG Red, OG Blue and White); and Eco-Friendly 100% Recycled Nylon (OG Red, OG Blue and White).
Thread
We use only American-made spun polyester thread for its combination of strength and UV resistance. Color choices are endless and especially on lettering – thread color selection can add a very subtle yet powerful design element to a flag.
Header & Grommets
For our standard flag header we use a 2” or 3” polypropylene webbing for its strength, looks and durability. A more traditional folded cotton/polyester header is also available. Unless otherwise specified – flags will come with the solid brass Stimpson grommets. A traditional rope & toggle or a sleeve is available upon request.
Pricing
Each custom flag is different and to be fair to you and to us – we believe pricing should reflect that. The biggest overall driver of price is time (labor), NOT material. So – the more demanding a flag is in terms of design, layout, sewing and trimming – the more costly it will be regardless of size.
We strongly encourage you to please share and discuss your design with us in order to get you the most accurate estimate of the price for your project.
