Design guidelines

Save your files in uneditable, print-ready file formats.

You can download our guides and templates in the template section. Remember to delete the template layers before exporting your design to PDF.

If you already have a design, no worries; we accept other file formats, including JPEG, PNG, or EPS.

For photographic content, high-resolution JPEGs are recommended, preferably without compression. For graphics or text-based content, we recommend print-ready, vector-based PDFs. For content that is a combination of graphics and photography, we suggest using print-ready PDFs to ensure the best quality.

Use CMYK as the colour mode.

Prepare your files using CMYK as the colour mode, not RGB. Use colourmode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2). If you are unsure of the colour mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.

Use the right values for full colour black.

Please note: The material used for a flag is very absorbent therefore the colour can come out lighter than expected. This is especially the case with black. For rich black please use (Cyan 60, Magenta 40, Yellow 40 & Black 100).

Resolution of at least 150 dpi.

Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 150 dpi.

Keep 4 mm safety margin

During production, there might be a slight cut deviation. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:

Add a 5 mm bleed around all edges of your design.
Keep important elements 40 mm away from the edge or folding lines.

Keep 4 mm safety margin

For this product, the minimum font size is 20 pt. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:

Fonts must be embedded or outlined.
If your design contains small black text, make sure it is 100 % black (Cyan: 0 Magenta: 0 Yellow: 0 Black: 100).

Note that we don't check spelling or typographical errors.

Lines should be at least 3 pt.

The lines should be at least 3 pt.

Check your artwork on overprint.

Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint unless you want this effect in your design. You can read more about overprint in our Help Centre.

Frequently asked questions

Longlife: NEW: This flagcanvas has a strong structure and is perforated with tiny holes. The holes make sure the flag can resist stong wind speeds. A longer life is guaranteed.

Which production techniques do you use?

For the production of Boat flags, we use the following technique(s):
Sublimation: the printing is carried out at a high temperature, thereby the eco-friendly water based ink attaches directly to the material. The ink integrates into the material. The material remains flexible and is waterproof.

Untill which wind power level is it advisable to hang up your flags outside?

Our advice is to retrieve your flags inside if gale force 7 is reached. This greatly improves the lifespan of your flags.

What does wind force mean?

Wind force is measured using the beaufort scale. In winds exceeding Beaufort scale 6 (31 mph/49 kph or 27 knots), which corresponds to a strong breeze, your flag should be taken down. Remember if it is windy at ground level, it is far windier up a flagpole.

What is the lifespan of Boat flags?

The lifespan of the flags is 3 to 4 months while using it intensively. You can expand the lifespan by bringing the flags inside when weather is bad.

Are the Boat flags printed single or double sided?

Our flags are printed on one side as standard. This means that your logo is visible as a mirror image on the back. The print-through of our flags is around 95%.

How do the colours come out in the print?

The colours printed on flag fabrics will never be as sharp as they are on your screen, especially the colour black. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.

What is the fastest possible turnaround?
