Flag Making
We manufacture
flags using four methods- machine sewing (appliqué), screen
printing (dye printing), digital printing, and embroidery. In
some cases, subject to client preference, we may digitally print
a small area of fabric to create a badge, which is a useful and
cost effective method of manufacture for crests, coats of arms
and other intricate work. We then appliqué the badge to
the field of the flag.
All flags
are manufactured using high quality components and are hemmed
all around. Most flags are usually finished with a strong headband
complete with polyester rope and wooden toggle or clip ready to
fly, subject to client specification. Flags may also be finished
with a sleeve for a pole, brass eyelets or inglefield clips.
All flags
are manufactured in the traditional way ie "mirror image",
flags reading correctly to the front side and a perfect mirror
image to the reverse. We also manufacture double sided flags (reading
correctly to both sides), perhaps also with a light barrier interlining,
on client request.
| SCREEN PRINTING |
|
| Stage 1:
Graphic designers adapt your documents and artwork to suit
your chosen method of manufacture. |
 |
| Stage 2: Screens are
engraved using the most up to date technology. The biggest
screen size is more than 20m². |
 |
| Stage 3: Colours are
mixed in this fully automated department. |
 |
| Stage 4: Printing –
Four Zimmer printing machines produce your order with accuracy
and speed. |
 |
| Stage 5: Heat-fixation
– after printing the colours are fixed at high temeprature
to make the colours brighter and to ensure durability and
vibrancy in all weathers. |
 |
| Stage 6: Washing –
five successive washing cycles give the colours their brightness
and the cloth its softness. |
 |
| Stage 7: Setting –
five ovens at a temperature of 135ºC guarantee the size
stability of the flag. This stage allows waterproofing for
parasols and fireproofing for indoor products. |
 |
| Stage 8: Sewing –
all products are manufactured with quality materials to ensure
optimum life. |
 |
| DIGITAL PRINTING |
|
| Option 1: Soft PVC is
printed with a high resolution technique in 5 metre widths
which ensures an excellent colour production. |
 |
| Option 2: Textile digital
printing allows, at low cost, the production of single items. |
