| Flag printing, halp! This is a random off the wall question, aimed at those of you who may have worked in promotions etc.
I'm looking to get a run of flags done for an event, I'm talking about the kind you buy at football matches and concerts that are fairly cheaply made and come on bamboo or plastic canes.
has anyone got any light they can shed on where I'd get them done? Google only seems to be throwing up folk who make big posh flags.
Many thanks in advance  |

| Re: Flag printing, halp! Basically I'm looking for a small quantity (max about 25) of a black and white design to be printed onto cheapo material and mounted on bamboo canes. I have the design done, it's for soem promotional work I'm doing. I'd rather they were cheapo as they'll be getting discarded after the particular event.
Laura.. Bar One? |

| Re: Flag printing, halp! Ok, so you're not bothered if they're plastic, or fabric or anything? And I guess you're talking about handheld size, so smaller than A4 type size?
I'll find out any info I can tomorrow

Clothing/accessories printing in Glasgow. They're not bad, so might be worth a call if Doogie's plan doesn't work out. |

| Re: Flag printing, halp! Slightly bigger than A4 size, I'm looking more for the large flags that they sell at football matches and concerts. |

| Re: Flag printing, halp! Do you have rough measurements? I guess you're saying between A4 and A3?

| Re: Flag printing, halp! OK cool, will see what I can do, last question for just now, do you want the back printed or not - from what I can see from looking about, you can either have a two sided one with your image on both sides, a two sided one with your image on one side and your image in reverse on the other side, or your image on one side and a blank back - if you're not sure I'll just see what works out cheapest.
