3. Single vs. Double-Sided Flag Printing and the Best Fabric Options

• Single-sided with standard 110gsm polyknit fabric: flags with show-thru tech, correct reading on one side and mirrored reading on the other side. The option is good for simple designs or tight budget projects.

• Double-sided with standard 120gsm polyknit fabric: flags featured with an additional blockout layer in the middle, providing 3 layers in total for correct reading on both sides. This is a highly popular and cost-effective choice among our customers.

• Double-sided with premium 150gsm satin fabric: flags crafted from two pieces of silver-coated blockout satin fabric for correct reading on both sides, preventing bagging and offering an elegant look with a longer lifespan. A top choice for premium quality flags.

4. Design Services and Teardrop Flag Templates for DIY

We encourage you to design your own flags, however you must use our small teardrop flag template (PDF) or large teardrop flag template (PDF) to make sure that the design is valid. Guidelines are outlined in the template. You may check the sample designs below for the design idea and find more samples in the gallery.  If you still need more help, check out our short flag design tutorial which can aid you in your flag design.

Key points to remember for the teardrop flag designs:

• The red-sewing lines in the templates indicate the area that will be printed. Content outside of the red-sewing lines will not be shown on the finished flags.
• All texts used must be converted to curves or contours because we might not have the same font that you have used.
  
• The Pantone colour codes must be provided if colour matching is required.
  
• We accept high resolution bitmaps with unmerged layers. But we prefer to have a vectorised pdf file instead.
  
• If the file is larger than 20 Mb, then you could use Dropbox, Google drive or similar services and send us the downloading link by email or using the order message box.
• If there are multiple files that you need to upload, then please combine the files together into a single .zip file before uploading them.

Flag and Banner Maintenance

While our high precision sewing and heavy-duty European ink is at the best of the best in the market, the inevitable wear of time will fade your flags and banners. Here are some quick tips to keep your flags or banners in a longer lifetime:

1. Keep out of direct sunlight when not needed - our UV-resistant European ink still fare better without UV rays

2. Ensure there are NO nearby rough walls, poles or plants that will damage the fabric - constant friction may cause irregular tear, as the number one reason for failure.

3. Make sure the flag or banner is setup correctly - push flag to the end of pole tip and tie the cord stopper accordingly

4. Keep your poles for your teardrop or feather banners away from surrounding objects - avoid pole damage caused by collision with other strong obstacles due to wind

5. Not for very windy days - it's a good idea to take down your large banners if wind speeds exceed 55km/h, your small banners if wind speeds exceed 65km/h

6. Wash only when necessary - when washing do not use detergent, rinse in water only, no washing machine.
