Facing left or right
Right-facing flags carry the pole and base on the left of the graphic; left-facing flags carry them on the right. Each orientation has its own artwork template — use the one that matches the flag you order.
Double-sided flags
A double-sided flag is two knitted-polyester flags with a black block-out layer sandwiched and stitched between them, supplied as a single item — so both faces print full-color and read the right way around.
Bases
Bases aren’t included — choose one to suit the flag size and the surface it’ll stand on, whether that’s grass, a hard floor, or an exposed, windy spot. See our flag bases for the full range and guidance.
Replacement graphics
Need just the print later? Replacement Crest Flag graphics are available without the hardware — printed, finished, and shipped straight to you or your client to drop onto the pole they already have.
Care & lifespan
- Machine-wash on a cold, gentle cycle with no detergent, and let the flag dry fully before storing.
- Take the flag down in adverse weather — dismantle in winds above about 13–18 mph (a moderate breeze). Heavy rain plus wind adds weight and strains the pole.
- Make sure the flag can’t catch or snag on its pole or nearby objects, and don’t set poles too close together.
- Position matters: airborne pollution can gray white areas over time, and prolonged UV will gradually fade any outdoor fabric.
- Lifespan depends on climate and flying hours. For a flag in regular use, a realistic maximum is around six months.
Artwork Templates
Template information
Artwork templates are available for every size and orientation in InDesign, Illustrator, EPS, and PDF, set up at 100% scale. Log in to download them, then build to the exact template size: outline all fonts, embed all images, keep important content inside the safe area, run background color out to the bleed line, and export as PDF (preferred), AI, or EPS.
These templates were last updated on 08/14/2026. If you have previously downloaded templates for flags before this date, please disregard them and use these latest versions. If old templates are used, this will likely delay any orders.
These templates will help you create your design at the correct size, shape and proportion for the flag, and are setup at 100% scale of full size.
Please note, each size differs in shape and proportion. The template used must match the size ordered.
Shape
- The red line is the bleed line. Artwork must extend to this line. The area in between this line and the safe area line must only be used as a quiet area.
- The blue line is the finished line. This is the approximate perimeter of the visible graphic area, after the graphic has been fitted to the unit.
- The green line is the safe area line. Important content (text, logos etc.) must be kept within this line.
- The grey line is the flag sleeve. This shows the location of the elasticated flag sleeve, when finished and attached.
Layers
Please note, our InDesign, Illustrator and EPS templates contain a locked guide layer that is set to be non-printing. Any artwork elements that are put on this layer will not be included in exported PDFs, and will not be printed. Please check your exported artwork before sending it to us. Our PDF templates contain the same locked guide layer, but it is set to be a printing layer - it must be deleted from your file before exporting your design.
- Guide (Non-Printing) (locked). Must not contain any of your design elements. May be deleted, if desired.
