Some
shapes of flags and banners |
|
 |
 |
Horizontal
(landscape) banner or flag
The standard flag, unless you specify something
different, is a 1800mm x 900mm 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. |
|
|
 |
Vertical
(portrait) banner or flag
Almost
any size. Some popular sizes are 800mm x 1200mm and 900mm
x 1300.
With or without fringe. With or without an opening at the
back of the rod sleeve.
Please let us know if you want any other
decoration for your banner. The bottom edge may be
straight, round, V-shape, scalloped or custom made: |

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 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. |

Materials
We most often use durable, Australian Defence Force
quality woven polyester bunting for
your flag or banner. See the colours.
Other colours, and fabrics such as satin,
silk, wool crepe or nylon, may be 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 - usually no visible stitching at the front
of the banner. |
|
|
 |
Eyelets
(grommets)
In each corner, top corners, along the top. Let us know
where you want them.
|
|
|
|
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.
