ordering
Please
email us with your enquiry.
You can post, email
or fax your artwork or logo, and we will
design the flag for you at no extra cost.
We
will send you an obligation free quote for your approval,
and when you decide to order, we will email you an
invoice. Every effort is made to keep our prices competitive,
whilst insuring the best materials and the finest
workmanship. There is no minimum order requirement,
and our quote is valid for 60 days.
Please note that
we cannot give you a price for a custom made flag or a
banner until we see the artwork and your other details
- there is no 'average
price'. Each job is different.
If
you send graphics via email or on a cd-rom,
please use a PC format, in this order of preference:
CDR (all text converted to curves), JPEG,
GIF, BMP, PDF.
No other file types, please. Do not embed your file
into a MS Word document - send a separate image only.
Keep
your attachments under 2 meg size, but large enough to
show the details clearly. If the file is too large, it
will be rejected by our email program. In that case,
please print the image out and post it to us.
The
following may help you decide some of the basics for your job. If
you have any questions, please email us any time.
The standard flag, unless you specify something
different, is a 900x1800mm horizontal bunting flag, mirror-image,
with heading on the left, with nylon clips.
The standard banner, unless otherwise specified, is
a vertical bunting banner, one-sided and lined, with an
invisible rod sleeve at the top.
Check out the available colours.

Main
types of |
flags and banners |
|
|

|
Mirror
image
The standard way to sew a flag. Artwork looks the same on
each side of the single-layer flag except that on the
reverse side it appears as a mirror-image. Unless
otherwise specified, we make your flag this way.
Please email your artwork to us for a free quote. |
|
|
 |
Two
sided
Artwork
is appliquéd separately on two pieces of field, and they
are then hemmed together to form a flag. This is most
suited for flags and banners which are displayed
vertically, hanging down rather than flying. Text reads
correctly from both sides, but consider the extra weight
and cost of the flag. |
|
|
 |
One
sided, no lining
Artwork is appliquéd on one side, and the flag (or
banner) is then hemmed. This is an economical method, but
can only be used if the item will be displayed against the
wall. Reverse side shows outlines as rows of
stitching. |
|
|
 |
One
sided with backing
A method most commonly used in banners which are displayed
on a banner stand. Artwork is appliquéd on one side and
the banner is then lined. Unless you specify otherwise, we
make your banner this way. |

Materials
We most often use durable, Australian Defence Force
quality woven polyester bunting for
your flag or banner. See the colours here.
Other fabrics, such as satin,
silk, wool crepe or nylon, are available on request. |
|
|
|
Heading
Heading is usually sewn at the left hand side of the flag.
However, sometimes it is better to have the heading on the
right hand side. Contact us if you are not sure. |
|
|
|
Rod
sleeves
Rod
sleeves can be sewn at sides of the banner, or at top, or
top and bottom. For a vertical banner we normally use our
invisible top sleeve - no visible stitching at the front
of the banner. |
|
|
 |
Eyelets
(grommets)
In each corner, top corners, along the top. Let us know
where you want them.
|
|
|
|
Clips
Nylon or metal Inglefield clips, metal swivel clips.
Unless otherwise requested, we use the nylon clips for
your flag. We only use the highest quality Australian made
clips.
|
|
|
|
Fringe,
piping, loops, banner stands...
Please let us know if you want a fringe or any other
decoration for your banner. The bottom edge may be
straight, curved, pointed, or a scalloped edge. If you are not sure, email us,
and we will help.
