MADE TO ORDER FLAGS

FLAGS: THE INDUSTRY STANDARD CHECK LIST

 

FABRIC:
Only accept flags that are made from fabric that has been specifically manufactured for flags and tested for flying durability.
COLOR:
Although it is understood that screen printed flags may vary in color from front to back, the variation should only be slight. A nice, bright color on the front and a dull color on the reverse should be avoided. The color in these flags will deteriorate quickly.
HEADER/CORD:
Flags should fly square to the mast and although the fly corners of the flag will wear first, the white header (min .38mm) and the header cord at the hoist edge of the flag are important. In particular, the cord should be the full length of the header. It should not consist of short pieces tacked onto the white header.
STITCHING:
Manufacturers will use various sewing threads when stitching the edges and headers. If you can break this thread easily with your hands, your flag will soon be in trouble.
SIZE:
It is wise to measure your flag order. Fabrics do shrink in the manufacturing process. Cutting and stitching can further reduce the original size, but you should not accept a flag that is more than 5% under the specified size.
