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.
Other  details
Woven polyester flag bunting - outdoor quality 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.
grommet

Eyelets (grommets)
In each corner, top corners, along the top. Let us know where you want them.

plastic Inglefield clip swivel clip

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.
