Designing a custom flag doesn’t have to be a complicated task.

In this article we show you a series of recommendations aimed at companies like yours that work in the printing and graphic solutions sector, and that need practical solutions to create custom flag designs for events, promotions, or corporate branding for other businesses or brands.

Tips for designing flags quickly and effectively

The following points can help guide you to design any custom flag or textile ordered by your client in a simple and fast way.

• Define the purpose of the flag.

Keep in mind the goal your client wants to achieve with the design of their custom flag. The outcome of the flag will vary depending on its intended use: your client may need it for a point of sale, a trade fair, an event, or any other situation.

Additionally, if it’s for an event, your client will have specified whether it’s a corporate, sports, promotional, press conference, etc. Knowing the purpose of the flag will help you determine what information should be included in the design or the tone of the message, ensuring the flag fulfills its function and your client is satisfied.

• Determine the size required for the flag template.

At Ádivin we provide you with the template you need. As a distributor, you can access templates for different flags depending on the construction your client requires, so you can start designing without worrying about adjusting the final product’s measurements.

• Make use of digital tools.

Choose to use digital tools such as Adobe Illustrator or free tools like Adobe Express or Inkscape to create custom flag designs.

Do you also need free graphic resources? Try royalty-free image sites like Pexels or Unsplash. We recommend reviewing the terms of use of these sites and considering the legislation in your country regarding the licenses for images or resources you use in your designs.

• Simplify your designs.

All brands have a style guide that you can rely on to carry out your graphic work. Use the brand’s fonts, colors, and graphic style while following your client’s instructions.

As a manufacturer, we recommend not including too many graphic elements when designing custom flags, so that the final artwork is more easily readable and the message reaches the target audience clearly. Likewise, the choice of the color palette should be simple, within the color story proposed by the end client.

• Make sure your design is correct.

There are a series of quick checks you can perform to avoid printing errors. We recommend verifying:

-Fonts have their outlines traced.

-The color profile used is CMYK.

-The template has not been resized.

-The red line has been removed from the template and no graphic elements extend beyond it.

-The graphic elements used in the design are not pixelated.

• Trust our printing professionals.

Although we are not designers, when we receive your design we carry out checks and review it to ensure that your custom flag is printed exactly as you and your client expect.

Our goal is your client’s satisfaction—and yours!
