Repeat Orders:
Please supply The Flag Makers with your most recent PO#, The Flag Makers Order#, art and date of order for helping to speed the process with all reorders.
The Flag Makers endeavours to keep Artwork on file for a minimum of 1-year from the date of the order. Since we are continually making changes and upgrades to our production materials, inks and equipment, exact colour matching cannot be guaranteed. If colour matching is needed, please inquire about strike-offs, colour swatch or a scaled size pre-production sample. Feel free to contact your customer service representative in writing if you have any questions regarding exact colour matching. Proofs will be supplied on all repeat orders and need to be approved prior to the start of production.
PMS colour Matching:
We do not charge for PMS colour matching
PMS coated colours are matched as closely as possible but we cannot guarantee. We print a full colour CMYK process (unless otherwise quoted for a screen print or spot colour print). It is important to understand that matching PMS colours to different substrates or materials is very difficult. Variances will occur when comparing a PMS coated colour printed on different types of printers and materials such as polyester, nylon, cotton, vinyl, felt and more. PMS colour swatches, strike-offs or a scaled sized pre-production samples are available upon request.
Fading:
We use only the best UV treated dye sublimation inks. They are designed for longevity in all outdoor weather conditions. It is impossible to accurately predict how long a printed product will last outdoors before fading occurs because there are too many variables such as sun, wind, rain & care. Over extended periods of time lighter colours will fade faster than darker colours because of how much ink consumption is used to print those colours.
Sizing:
Because all flags and banners are cut and sewn by hand there could be up to a 5% variance in the final product size. Special exceptions can be made upon request for exact size requirements but will need to be quoted and agreed to as such in writing.
Samples:
The Flag Makers provides generic product samples at no charge – the customer is responsible for the shipping charges. Certain large product samples may require payment. If an exact colour or design sample is needed, that is considered a pre-production sample and needs to be quoted accordingly. Standard lead times apply to pre-production samples unless otherwise requested in writing and agreed to by The Flag Makers.

The Flag Makers is not responsible for non-fulfillment of orders or missed ship dates caused by embargoes, strikes, fires, customs inspections or other causes beyond our control domestically or in the foreign countries from which we import. If The Flag Makers can no longer obtain a product from one of its suppliers, we reserve the right to substitute a similar product of equal or greater value. The Flag Makers reserves the right to pass along product price increases and/or increased freight charges that result from a change in national or world economics.
