Frequently Asked Questions About Artwork for Custom Flags

What if I don’t have a vector file to produce my flag?

If you don’t have a vector file to produce your flag, we can convert any electronic file you provide into vector format for a small fee.

What type of artwork is required to produce the flag?

Computer Disk File: We are both Mac and PC based. When sending us a file via email, floppy disk, zip disk or CD, please follow these important instructions:

Screen Print or Appliqué Jobs: (Mac or PC files) All files must be vector. This means that the files must be comprised of outlines and not pixels. All lettering within files must be converted to outlines also so as to avoid font confusion. Acceptable file types include: .ai, .cdr, .plt, and most .eps files.

Program Specifics

Adobe Illustrator 9.0 or less vector files.
CorelDraw 11.0 or less vector files (PC only) 
Macintosh CorelDraw files that have been exported as Illustrator files.

EPS vector files from other programs can be sent, however they may need to be altered by one of our graphics professionals for use. In some cases font substitutions may be necessary.

Four Color Process Jobs:

(Mac or PC files) Illustrator 9.0 or Photoshop 6.0 files. Mac files are preferred. We will accept both vector and pixilated images for our 4-color process work. We can easily scale any vector files that we receive, however when sending pixilated files such as .tiff, .jpg, .bmp, .psd or pixilated .eps files, please keep final output quality in mind. In other words, the higher the quality of the file, the higher the quality the output image will be. Ideal resolution would be between 150 and 200 dpi at final output size.

What type of artwork is required to quote the flag?

Artwork that clearly shows the design, color and size of the flag can be used to provide a quote for producing the flag.
