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 us.
We specialize in:
- Flags of any size that 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.
- Digital printing, screen printing, and screen dying on nylon, vinyl banners, and signs.
- Lettering or logos for application on window glass or plastics also available.
- are also available in heavy duty material or vinyl.
