On occasion we have chosen to combine processes. The most common use of this has been when we want to use a photo quality (or many color) seal in an Applique flag. This can reduce the cost of the flag and reduce the lead time. For a recommendation on this please call. |
We specialize in: Flags of any size can be fully printed, and are economical in small to large quantities. One of a kind banners and pennants are usually made with the Applique process. This process is done on our own grounds. Our sewer Audrey does all of the sewing herself. We also specialize in digital printing, screen printing, and screen dying on nylon, vinyl banners, and signs. Lettering or logo's for application on window glass or plastics also available. Avenue and mall banners are also available in heavy duty material or vinyl. |
