How Your Flag Printing Works

Using a specialist dye sublimation process, ink is fused with the polyester fabric of the flag, to create a permanent and vibrant print. When you make your own flag, you can choose your perfect size and shape of flag, and even the finish. Your design is then uploaded onto the system. Select the perfect size and shape for your flag, and a team of skilled technicians will print your artwork onto the material. Lovingly handmade to order, expert seamstresses stitch and hem your flag, creating the finish you require. Choosing to customise a flag is a unique service and one which will give outstanding, bespoke results.

Design Tips

Your designs are printed edge to edge on the fabric, creating a statement design that is sure to attract attention. Ask yourself what you are creating a flag for. Flag printing is great for work events, as you can upload logos, branding and anything else you want. If you are launching a fashion collection and want to indicate to your guests where they should go, why not create a selection of flags with your designs printed on them? Colours, fine lines and details are depicted clearly and distinctly on the fabric, and as we make them in-house, you can opt for any size and shape that you want. This gives you unlimited options for your flag.  The default setting for the pocket or eyelets is on the left-hand side, with the option to adjust and rotate your image to suit all your flag needs. 

There is an average shrinkage of 10-15mm with customised flags. This equates to about 2%. It is important to factor in this shrinkage when you plan your design, so no vital artwork is lost. We recommend leaving some room, or a "bleed area" between the edge of your design and the edge of the flag, to ensure your design is not disrupted by stitching.

Design Brand

Are you a designer for a wedding brand? If you create designs for weddings and other special events, consider adding custom printed flags to your portfolio. Flags are a traditional way to celebrate, and when you print your own, you can make them look however you want. Printed with your artwork, digital designs and unique typography, these flags will be taken to the next level and will make the happy couple even happier.

How can I display my flag?

You have 3 flag finish options; eyelets, pocket or plain. Use the pocket option if you want to display your flag on an existing pole (2.5cm diameter). The pocket is sewn down the edge of the fabric. The eyelets allow you to hang the flag, almost like a banner, and the plain option is ideal for laying flat.

Is there a bleed area?

The flag can shrink by up to 2% during the production process. It is important to keep this in mind when creating your design. If your print has details that run right to the edge of your design, then we recommend leaving a little bit of space between the image and the edge of the flag, so no details are lost.

What sizes does the flag come in?

We produce flag printing in several sizes, to ensure you get the perfect flag for your requirements. Opt for small, standard and giant sizes, in various dimensions. You can also select the custom size option if you want to create a truly bespoke flag. You can see the full list of sizes above.
