Four ways to make a flag
Full-color digital print
Photographic detail, unlimited colors, no minimum order. Dye-sublimated into outdoor polyester so the color goes through the fabric rather than sitting on it. Single-reverse (mirror on the back) or double-sided with a blockout liner.
Screen print
Bold spot colors for bulk orders. Cost per flag drops sharply with quantity, which makes it the choice for dealer groups, franchises and events that need hundreds of the same flag.
Sewn appliqué
Each color is a separate piece of nylon, cut and sewn onto the field.
Embroidered
Rayon or nylon flags with machine or hand embroidery for ceremonial and indoor display: conference rooms, lobbies, headquarters, presentation flags. Usually finished with pole hem and gold fringe.
Shapes, sizes and finishing
Rectangular flags from 12×18 inches to stadium size, burgees and swallowtails, pennants, guidons, house banners with a pole sleeve, and street-pole banners with top and bottom pockets. Standard finishing is a canvas header with brass grommets; we also do pole hems, rope and toggle, snap hooks, D-rings and fringe.

How ordering works
- Send artwork and a size. A vector file is ideal, but a sketch, a photo of a logo or a description is fine. We redraw art for production for a small fee, and can provide the finished art to you for future use.
- We quote and proof. You get a price and a production proof showing colors, size and construction.
- You approve, we make it. Typical turnaround is about one week from proof approval; rush is sometimes available.
- Pick up or ship. Collect at Henderson Blvd or we ship anywhere.
Try the mockup tool. Pick a size, drop in your logo, add text and see it on a flag. It generates a spec sheet and sends it to us. Open the custom flag mockup tool →
Who we make flags for around Tampa Bay
Most weeks the sewing tables have something going to a school in Brandon, a church in Riverview, a yacht club on the water in Clearwater or St. Petersburg, and a krewe somewhere in South Tampa. We have made flags for customers in Lakeland, Brooksville, Sarasota, Bradenton, Wesley Chapel, New Port Richey and Orlando, and for buyers well outside Florida.
Artwork and proofs happen by email wherever you are, so distance makes no difference to the flag. Finished flags ship anywhere in the country, or you can collect them at the shop on Henderson Blvd. For an order large enough to be worth a truck, we will bring it out. See our service areas.
