Have fun creating designs for business or pleasure, and be assured that your flag will be printed and handmade to the highest standards, right here at the Contrado studios. We include eyelets and a pocket, so you have different display options. The pocket and eyelets are set on the left-hand side, so you can adjust or even rotate your design to suit your flag needs. Your design is printed deep into the fibers, creating a permanent print that will last forever and won't fade, even after washing. We print only one side of the fabric, and Voile de Ville has about 50% show-through.

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 our system. Select the perfect size and shape for your flag, and our team of skilled technicians will print your artwork onto the material. We print one side and the Voile de Ville fabric has around a 50% show through. Lovingly handmade to order, expert seamstresses stitch and hem your flag, creating the finish you require. Choosing to customize a flag made 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? Colors, 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 0.39"-0.59" with customized 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.

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 (0.1" 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 standard sizes to ensure you get the perfect flag for your requirements. Choose from 18in x 12in, 2ft x 3ft, 3ft x 5ft, or 4ft x 6ft. You can also select the custom size option if you want to create a truly bespoke flag.
