Custom flags are great for attracting attentions no matter at an indoor trade show or an outdoor promotional event. What makes the custom flag special is that you can choose almost all kinds of images, the logo with special pattern, the high-resolution photo, or your hand painting. When it comes to custom flags, the only limitation is your imagination. Are you planning to customize a flag for the upcoming marketing event? Do you want to stand out among the promotional crowd? Here a few steps can help you create a special, unique and eye-catching custom flag.
Have an idea about what kind of event you are going to attend. Most times some flags are better than others when it comes to some special scenarios, for example, standard square flags are often used as national flag, garden flag, ect. and advertising flags are better for the events that are hold in a large space or open air. So before starting making the flag, it is better to know what you exact need.
Design the flag as you like. Usually the simpler the design, the easier it is to create a custom flag. But if you happen to have a complex image, you can try to contact some professional designers or printing technician to get some advice or instructions. At present most images can be printed on a flag, but sometimes the special printing method should be adopted for too complex graphics.
Choose the fabric that is suitable for making your flag. Different fabric has different special quality: some are flame and ultra violate retardant, some are water and oil proof, some are more durable and wearable, and some fabrics have better bleeding effects while printing. Find the proper printing technique. When choosing the printing method, you need to take into account your budget, the quantity, the delivery time, the printing effect, etc.. Compared with screen printing, heat transfer printing can ensure a fast turnaround. And screen printing is better and cost-effective when it comes to large quantity, while digital printing can be a good choice for complex images.
Cut out the shape that you need. In this process, sewing scissor or cloth scissor is often used. Meanwhile, to make the cut more accurate and precise, sometimes laser-cutting machine can also be used. Then next you need to sew your flag together. When sewing the flag, heavy-duty thread is recommended. At the same time, several stitching methods, straight stitching, diagonal stitching and reinforced stitching, are available for you. For the straight stitching and diagonal stitching, you can also choose the single-, double-, triple or quadruple- sewing line. And the reinforced stitching includes cross stitching, turn-around stitching and pearl stitching.
