Crest Flags

Crest flag printing allows for intricate designs, emblems, or logos in the distinct shape of a crest.

Businesses, sports teams, universities, and charities often utilise crest flags for branding, marketing and wayfinding. These flags serve as dynamic marketing tools that can be displayed at events, storefronts, stadiums, or other prominent locations, effectively capturing the attention of passersby and leaving a lasting impression.

Crest Size Specification

Notice

Consider where you position your crest flag, as air pollution will cause the white areas to become grey and UV can, over time, cause deterioration and fading to the fabric.

Flags can be washed in a regular washing machine on a 40° wash with everyday detergents. Always allow your flag to completely dry out before storing.

Ensure that your flag doesn't catch or snag on its pole or any other surrounding objects. Do not place poles too close together.

Dismantle your flag during adverse weather conditions, including strong winds in excess of beaufort scale 4 (13-18mph). Heavy rain combined with high winds can increase the weight of the flag and put extra strain on the pole.

Life expectancy is entirely dependant on the climatic conditions and hours of flying. Realistic maximum lifespan of a regularly used flag is six months.

Please note, each size differs in shape and proportion. The template used must match the size ordered.

Shape

• The red line is the bleed line. Artwork must extend to this line. The area in between this line and the safe area line must only be used as a quiet area.
• The purple line is the cut line. Perimeter of the cut graphic area, before any finishing. The area in between this line and the finished line will be used for hems and attaching the sleeve.
• The blue line is the finished line. This is the perimeter of the visible graphic area, after the graphic has been finished.
• The green line is the safe area line. Important content (text, logos etc.) must be kept within this line.
• The grey line is the flag sleeve. This shows the location of the elasticated flag sleeve, when finished and attached.
