Tips for designing Custom Flags and Banners

Ask yourself the right questions...

Where do you plan to use this banner/flag?

• Tell you whether to select an indoor material or an outdoor material.
• Enable you to gauge at what distance the product will be viewed. This is crucial design information in terms of layout, size and style of both the lettering and graphic elements.
• Provide you with an indication as to how to finish this product. For example, duck heading and grommets are standard for outdoor flags and banners while a pole hem (or sleeve) is generally considered more appropriate for indoor use.
• Give an indication of fabric choice. Banners and flags that are moved frequently, like trade show banners for example would be better made from a machine washable fabric such as Nyl-Glo, since they are likely to get soiled quickly.

Submitting Artwork...

• Supply Vector formatted artwork in either .AI (Illustrator), or .EPS files. Fonts should be converted to paths (Outlines).
• For Digital printing Raster images (.tiff and .jpegs), we require images to scale at 100-150 PPI (pixels per inch). These files will be large and must be sent on a disk.
• If these criteria connot be met, our artists will recreate your design within the production limitations involved. A color rendition can be sent for customer approval. The rendition is used for image size, design detail, and placement. It does not reflect the printed item, colors will vary.
• There is a $60 charge for Color Renditions and Production on the order will be suspended until the rendition is approved.
