When your design will be prepared upload it and order your beach flag or flag. Our specialists will make a regular check on your design and will inform you if any errors have been found, if not the printing will be done. However you may order a premium check if you need additional help or a data creation if you are unable to design your beach flag on your own.

Here are some other important remarks on how to prepare your design:

- Preference for Vector files;
- Convert text to contour;
- Layout preferably done in Adobe Illustrator (.AI, .PDF or Vector file);
- Supply 1:1 files in a minimum of 100DPI, if file is in 1:10 in 300DPI (CMYK)

As for the accessories delivery only, they are sent instantly to you, because we got everything you are able to see in stock, this is why this will take less time to be delivered. If you want to receive your selected accessories sooner, contact us, however extra delivery costs will be applied.

Until what time my order can be cancelled? 

If you have decided to cancel your order, you can do that before the production starts. However, you need to remember, that after we get the approval of the files for your beach flags or flags, this cannot be done. It is because such products will be already in the making process and because of their customer-specifics, so returning the flag or beach flag is not possible (unless it is because of our production error). So remember to check your files very closely before the submission process.

What to do if I got several designs for different beach flags?

In case you are planning to order multiple beach flags, you will be still able to upload different designs. Simply place different design during ordering each beach flag. Additionally you may leave a comment so you and us would easily understand on which design is on which beach flag. Additional remarks always help! There are no extra costs connected to multiple designs!

How delivery is done?

Packages are generally dispatched within 5 days after receipt of payment and are shipped via UPS, TNT or DPD with tracking and drop-off without signature. If you prefer delivery by UPS Extra with required signature, an additional cost will be applied, so please contact us before choosing this method. Whichever shipment choice you make, we will provide you with a link to track your package online. Shipping fees include handling and packing fees as well as postage costs. Handling fees are fixed, whereas transport fees vary according to total weight of the shipment. We advise you to group your items in one order. We cannot group two distinct orders placed separately, and shipping fees will apply to each of them. Your package will be dispatched at your own risk, but special care is taken to protect fragile objects. Boxes are amply sized and your items are well-protected.

Can I wash beach flags or flags?

Yes. All our beach flags and regular flags can be washed in the washing machines.
Before the first use: We recommend you to wash your digital printed beach flag at 30 ° before the first use outdoors.
Our online printed scrapings will not be washed before delivery, which may leave slight residues of the digital printing equipment in the cloth. This can lead in rare cases to a slight leakage of the colors in the first rain.
For a longer life: Beach flags or feather flags must be able to escape freely and should not rub on branches, masts, wires or walls. Exposure to the sun and weather influences the beach flag life. We recommend that you bring in your digital printed flags in bad weather. Every 2-3 months the flag should be washed at 30 ° C. Please take care that you do not pull your beach flag over the floor with the covering, otherwise it can be very easy to damage the seam.

What kind of materials are used for the beach flags or flags?

Our beach flag systems are manufactured according to our specifications. Materials, mechanical parts, poles and bags of our beach flags are optimized by us, and although the look is the same, they differ significantly from other event flag systems available on the market. Regular quality and supply inspections guarantee top quality and an unbeatable price-performance ratio of our beach flags.
Choose from our many different shapes and sizes your right one. We print your own motif on our proven flag material 115 gram / m2 polyester (standard), 100D polyester (double-sided printing) and 120 gram / m2 polyester air textile (single-sided printing, wind permeability, also known as polyester mesh material). With our extensive experience in digital large format printing, we achieve brilliant print results.

What are the benefits of the double-sided printing?

Double-sided print may have different sides. This helps to provide additional amount of information for your customers or provide it correctly, as single-sided beach flags back side is mirror-imaged. However it is important to notice that the edge of the double-sided beach flag should be decided by you. Since if you got different colors on different sides, you need to remember that our beach flags are hemmed and double-stitched, this is why a border of one side will go over other side approximately +/- 1cm. So if you have a preference on how your beach flag should be finished write that down in the comment section during the order process or through the e-mail before the approval of your design. If you will not notify us, this will be determined by us during the production process.

You have to remember that:
Several colors per side possible
Each side has its own design
Take note of color usage due to hemming of the borders
1 color stitching (approximate color of the flag is standard)
