Flag FAQs

1. How do I set-up artwork for Flags?

Feather and Teardrop Flags: Text and graphics should be placed at least 0.5" from the edge of the hem for safety. Artwork can be wrapped around the pole, but again keep important elements clear of the pole pocket seam and the hems.

Bleed: ensure you have 0.5" on all sides of your artwork, do not add crops.

Pole Flags: Text and graphics should be placed at least 0.5" from the edge of the hem for safety. 4over will professionally hand sew 0.5" hems around the Pole Flag.

Bleed: ensure you have 0.5" on all sides of your artwork, do not add crops.

Download and use our flag templates to ensure your artwork is set-up correctly.

2. How are flags printed and what material are they made of?

4over's flags are printed using superior quality dye sublimation equipment on lightweight 3oz polyester. Pole Flags have an additional Reinforced Grommet Strip made of canvas on either the left or right side of the flag for wind resistance.
