From idea to print: the flag printing process

Many of us look at printed flags and perhaps wonder how they are made. The "From Idea to Print" process is both an art and a science. It requires not only technical knowledge, but also creative vision.

Before delving into the details of realization, it is important to understand that the journey from creating flags to the actual production involves a series of carefully considered steps. Expertise and precision are required at every stage.

Creative vision - from inspiration to design

Start by analyzing the purpose of the flag and planning the print. When creating flags, you can't skip key steps:

  1. Gathering inspiration

    2. Every great flag starts with an idea. Its source can be anything - personal experience, a company logo or the message you want to convey.

  2. Designing

    3. With an idea in mind, the process of creating flags begins. Tools such as Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop can help make your vision a reality.

  3. Feedback and revisions

    4. A design is rarely perfect the first time. It's always good to get feedback from colleagues or target groups and adjust the design accordingly.

Through these three stages - gathering inspiration, designing, and getting feedback and making corrections - the flag takes on a life of its own, becoming not just a material, but more importantly a medium for emotions, messages and identity.

Technical preparation for creating flags

You already have the design ready and have planned the location and method of display. Now it's time to analyze the technical issues:

  1. Material selection

    2. There are various materials from which flags can be made. The choice depends on factors such as the purpose of the flag and the budget. Our printing house offers high-quality beachflags made of polyester, which at the same time are attractively priced. They are perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. For double-sided flags we use Blackback Pro, which is more expensive, but has a higher grammage and allows you to place graphics on both sides. Such beachflags are heavier, so it's ideal for indoor display, where they won't be affected by gusts of wind.

  2. Creating flags for printing

    3. The choice of material is closely related to the proper adaptation of the design to the requirements of the technology in which it will be implemented. This means, on the one hand, matching colors to the CMYK model and using the correct black components, on the other hand, for example, preserving safe areas, converting fonts to curves. On our site you will find guidelines for creating flags. Keep in mind that they are crucial for achieving high quality prints.

Process of printing graphics on material

Creating flags can be carried out using various technologies, such as screen printing or digital printing, they are used depending on the requirements and circulation. In our printing house, we use the sublimation method, thanks to which the colors absorb the material, which allows for increased durability of the graphics. This technique ensures that flags can be washed with mild detergents to keep the product looking attractive longer.

We are aware that time plays an important role, so we aim to complete orders as quickly as possible, while maintaining the highest standards.

Implementation of finishing on the flag material

Creating flags goes through a finishing process. We precisely cut the material to the right shape and then stitch it, this way we get personalized products of high quality.

We carefully pack the flags prepared in this way and deliver them to the customer or advertising location.
