For 1 to 1000 Custom Flags and Custom Banners the following 3 methods are best.
1) Jet-Flo Flags and Banners - Eco-Friendly Inks!
Unlimited Colors & No Set-up Fee's!
Minimum Order: 1
Custom flags made from our Jet-Flo Printing allows you to be as creative as you want and at the same time use as many colors as you desire for the same price. In comparison, pricing for screen printed custom flags are determined by the amount of colors you have so printing 5 colors will be more expensive than 1. Jet-Flo Printing eliminates that totally. 1 color costs as much as 8,000 colors . Also with Jet-Flo Printing you are able to achieve gradients (fading of colors) with no problem. Since we have 1 of only 2 machines in the US that prints this type of Jet- Flo Printing your guaranteed a superior flag with an amazing image!
Excellent for both indoor & outdoor use, the material we use is "exclusive" to NorthStar and is a 250 Denier Polynex ( It is the best & most durable material available on the market for this process). The eco-friendly ink used to create your flag has UV inhibitors to make sure your colors last. The ink is directly printed onto the flag with a dispersed dye ink system which allows for full penetration of color while allowing a show thru of the reverse image on the back at 70 to 90%, depending on the color. Darker colors will show thru more than lighter colors. The ink is then heat set at 400 degrees to lock in the vibrancy of the colors. The result is the finest custom flag around!
Production Time: 5 to 7 business days.

2) Dye-Sublimation Flags and Banners - Eco-Friendly Inks!
Unlimited Colors & No Set-up Fee's!
Minimum Order: 1
The great thing about these custom printed Dye-Sublimation Custom Flags are they allow you to be as creative as you want and at the same time use as many or as little colors as you desire for the same price. In comparison, pricing for screen printed custom flags are determined by the amount of colors you have so printing 5 colors will be more expensive than 1. Dye-Sublimation eliminates that totally. 8000 colors costs as much as 1 color . Also with Dye-Sublimation you are able to achieve gradients (fading of colors) with no problem. Since we use 1 of only 50 machines in the entire world that prints this type of Dye-Sublimation we can literally duplicate almost any image!
Excellent for both outdoor & indoor applications, the materials we use are Dacron, Poly Poplin, Poly Duck & Satin- (indoor use only). These materials are the best & most durable substrates available on the market today for this process. The material starts out white and then your image is heat set into one side using only the highest quality eco-friendly UV protected inks.This process transforms the white Dacron into the colors of your design. Since the transfer is only put on one side, you have a show thru of the reverse image on the back at about 60% . On a double-sided flag or banner the full image appears on both sides.

Appliqué flags and banners reflect the truly fine craftsmanship available from NorthStar. These designs require extensive seamstress work in producing each flag and banner.

Appliqué flags are best used for inside where they will be seen close up. They can be used outside also but will last only as long as the screen printed flags below. In most cases for what it would cost for 2 or 3 appliqué flags, you could purchase 12 screen printed flags if outdoor use is needed.

Quoted Screen Printed prices will meet the following 6 specifications:
1)
Custom Flags are single reverse - Image reads correctly on one side with about an 80% show thru of the reverse image on back . 98% of all flags are made this way. Double sided flags are best used for indoor use. Because each is essentially 3 flags sewn together( 2 flags with the image and then a liner sewn in between the flags to prevent show thru) they're fly ability is not very good .
2)
Your custom flag is being printed on the Highest Quality 200 Denier Solarmax Protected ( Solarmax helps resist sun & chemical deterioration) white nylon flag or similar color . When a dark background color is needed for your flag , for each 1 color you print on the flag, it would count as 2 . The reason is that on a white flag when an image is printed, the ink penetrates the fabric giving the reverse image on the back. On darker flags the ink will not penetrate the fabric so a reverse image must be printed on the back using twice as much ink. If you prefer your image to be printed on a dark color flag, we have nylon available in over 80 amazing colors! Check out our
Color Chart to help with your color choices.. Please note : 4"x6" & 8"x12" Hand held Flags listed can be printed on less expensive materials than nylon... such as paper & polyester. Please call for minimum quantities & pricing on these 800-958-3009.
3)
Each custom flag or banner is a Grommeted flag unless it is a hand held flag. For a pole sleeve and hem add $7.00 per flag. A Grommeted flag will stand the test of time better
4)
All pricing you receive for custom flags are for exact quantities .It is standard practice with most companies in the flag & banner industry to have quantity variances. "They" attribute these variances to over-production or waste that may occur when producing your flag or banner. In laymen's terms what this means is, there is always more produced than what you ordered and you are obligated to pay for it. With NorthStar, ALL pricing is for exact quantities . We never produce more than what you asked us too . If you order is 6, you will get 6.
5)
We have received the approved artwork . See below
6)
Set-up charges apply to screen printed custom flagsSet -up charges are for the creation of screens for your image. For each color in a design, a separate screen must be created. Set-up charges are good for 2 years. If you re-order with those 2 years the fee is waived for another 2 years from the date of re-order. Ideally, if ordering every 2 years, you would only incur this fee once.
