Trying to customize and design your own\u00a0feather flag<\/strong><\/a> may be difficult and confusing.\u00a0 On top of that, you have to make sure you have your logos in vector formats, images at the proper resolutions, and know your Pantone or CMYK color codes. Seems like a lot, right<\/em>?\u00a0 But, guess what!\u00a0 It is not nearly as complicated as it may seem to get your custom flags<\/strong><\/a> designed, printed, and to your door.<\/p>

At FeatherFlagNation.com<\/a><\/strong>, we remove the hardest part of placing a custom flag<\/strong><\/a> order, which is doing the product design.\u00a0 We don\u2019t make you use a design tool, which could leave you confused and frustrated.\u00a0 Instead, we have professional designers ready to do the artwork for you by submitting a free design request<\/strong><\/a>. No strings attached. You are NEVER obligated to buy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Okay, so let\u2019s get started with how to order custom flags<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 I\u2019ll try to make this as short and as easy as possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Want to place your logo on the flag? \u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Contact your logo designer and request a vector file.\u00a0 Vector files<\/strong><\/a> will come in .ai, .eps, .pdf, or .cdr.\u00a0 Your designer will know which to send you. SVG files usually also work but .ai or .eps are preferred over all formats listed below.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Don\u2019t know who your logo designer is?\u00a0 Send us all the file formats you have and we\u2019ll sort through them to see which will work.\u00a0 Some logos we can recreate for free.<\/p>

Planning to use a live image on the flag?<\/em><\/p>

There is no easy way to determine if your picture will scale to your print size without becoming blurry.\u00a0 Send us the picture and we\u2019ll let you know \ud83d\ude0a.\u00a0 Screenshots or pictures taken of logos with your phone will usually not work.\u00a0 Below is an example of a picture that looks excellent at original size.\u00a0 When it is enlarged to the larger 5ft<\/strong><\/a> size, you can see the image become very fuzzy.\u00a0 For this reason, we need have the image to be able to resize it to test for issues like this.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Okay, so you\u2019ve got all the necessary files to send to us to request your design.\u00a0 You can send us an email at sales@featherflagnation.com<\/strong><\/a> or you use our free design services<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>

I would recommend using the design request form<\/strong><\/a> since it will walk you through the information we need.\u00a0 It\u2019ll let you narrow down your request to a specific size and item as well, which will speed up the process.\u00a0 Below is an image of a design request form<\/strong><\/a> for our standard or various sizes.\u00a0 It’ll also let you know of the most popular size, which is the custom 3×5 flag<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Upload all of your files, include as much details as you like for your layout instructions, and specify any colors that you would like to use.<\/p>

Remember, flag prints cannot be done in RGB<\/strong><\/a> color modes.\u00a0 So, you\u2019ll have to use CMYK<\/strong><\/a> codes or Pantone colors<\/strong><\/a> value.\u00a0 Want to learn more about colors?\u00a0 Go to our RGB vs CMYK colors<\/strong><\/a> blog.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Depending on the workload, you should get your design proof within 30 minutes to a couple of hours.\u00a0 IMPORTANT! Be sure to check your spam box. Sometimes our emails can end up there.<\/em><\/p>

By the way, a design proof<\/strong> <\/a>is simply a digital image showing a concept design of your design request.\u00a0 We\u2019ll do a layout and show you what it would look like.<\/p>

Below is an example of a design proof.\u00a0 It’ll show the flag size<\/strong>,<\/a> the layout of the flag, and also how it is finished.\u00a0 In this proof, it is a 3x5ft flag<\/strong><\/a> that is finished with a white header and 2 grommets on the left side.\u00a0 It’ll have a violet background with the red logo printed on it.<\/p>

It is important to note that the colors you see on your screen will not look the same on your actual flag print.\u00a0 Colors will be 10 to 15% lighter in person.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our three most often asked questions during our design process are below.<\/p>

Can you match colors for my other prints?<\/strong><\/p>

Unfortunately, we provide no color matching guarantees.\u00a0 Colors on a flag<\/strong> <\/a>will look different than the colors on your vinyl banner<\/strong><\/a>, business card, or any other print materials.\u00a0 Colors on flags tend to be lighter by 10% to 15% from what you see on your computer screen.<\/p>

If you are specific with colors, we would advise ordering a color swatch<\/strong><\/a>. Swatches are free, you just have to cover shipping! This will give you peace of mind that your colors will be just how you like.<\/p>

Red and blue colors tend to be tricky.\u00a0 They can look very different from your computer screen to your flag.<\/p>

How many revisions do you allow?<\/strong><\/p>

We allow up to 4 revisions for free. This does not include the original design request. On average, we can get a design approved within 2 revisions.<\/p>

Can I print RGB colors?<\/strong><\/p>

Textile prints are only done in the CMYK color spectrum.\u00a0 Because of this, we are not able to use any RGB colors.\u00a0 RGB colors are the ones that your computer displays with RGB lights.\u00a0 This is not possible to recreate in real life.\u00a0 You would need to find CMYK alternatives for the RGB colors you would like.\u00a0\u00a0 It is important to note that RGB colors look neon and are very bright.\u00a0 CMYK colors are more matte and cannot look neon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Scenario 1:<\/strong> So, you\u2019ve received your design proof<\/strong><\/a> and you love it!\u00a0 Now what?\u00a0 Let the designer know via a reply to the email that you approve the design and that you would like a purchase link.\u00a0 They\u2019ll send you a link to the product that you approved.\u00a0 Be sure to use only the link they provide since it will be for the size and style that you approved.\u00a0 Going to other links and purchasing another size will cause a mismatch between what you approved and what you purchased.<\/p>

Once you make the purchase, we will send one more email with the approved proof for you to confirm.\u00a0 Be sure to send your final approval to get the order into production. We do not continue with custom orders until we have final, written approval.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Scenario 2: <\/strong>You don\u2019t like what you see or what to make some changes?\u00a0 Simply reply to the email and request the exact changes you would like.\u00a0 Request all your changes at once so that you can see multiple variations.\u00a0 For example, you receive a red flag, but want to see the same flag in yellow, blue, pink, and etc.\u00a0 This will be considered as only one revision, so request all of the color changes at once and we will reply with a new proof with all variations.\u00a0 Otherwise, you\u2019ll burn through your 4 free revisions quickly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once you\u2019ve placed the order and provided the final confirmation, we\u2019ll get right to work.\u00a0 Most of our custom flag orders<\/strong><\/a> will usually ship within 2 to 3 business days.\u00a0 UPS ground will take an additional 3 to 5 business days to deliver.\u00a0 Sit back, relax, and wait for your order to arrive at your door.<\/p>

Once your order is put into production, we will send you an estimated ship date.\u00a0 The day following the estimated ship date, you can request a tracking number from our request a tracking number<\/a><\/strong> link.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
