Tips
for Designing Custom Flags or Banners:
Ask
the Right Questions
How
will the flag or banner be used? Indoors or outdoors?
This will help to determine the type of material. Will
it be for a trade show? Consider something that will not
wrinkle and can be easily laundered.
Determine
the distance from which it will be viewed. This is
important in determining the layout as well as the size
and design of both lettering and graphic elements.
Provide
information about finishing. Heading and grommets are
standard for flags being flown on an outdoor flagpole.
Indoor banners might require a pole pocket or sleeve.
Will
it be viewed from one side only? Does any lettering need
to be read correctly on both sides or will single
reverse* suffice?
How
many do you need? If your custom flag is flown daily it
will eventually wear out. Often there are savings in
ordering multiple quantities.
What
kind of artwork are you able to provide? Vector
formatted on disc is preferred but we can usually work
with other types of art including slicks, laser
printouts.
*This
is standard flag finishing. The background is a single
thickness of material. Letters and/or graphics appear on
both sides but read correctly on only one while the back
will be a reverse image.
