The proof is the last step in getting your custom flag made.

The custom flag maker that you choose will send you a proof in pdf format.

However you can request for a physical sample which will be a small swatch of your custom flag.

It is vitally important that you are careful in reviewing your proof.

In most companies once you have signed off the proof, the flag is considered sold and you are expected to pay for it even if you find a mistake later. So be very careful!

If you are using Adobe Illustrator or any other drawing program then you have to convert first your “text to paths”.

Doing this will turn your text into vector art and thus you can no longer make edit with your keyboard.

Raster art means artwork that can no longer be edited as curves and lines.

One great example of raster art is a photograph.

You may scale it from smaller or larger sizes but when you change its size you will run the risk of getting pixelated or blurry image.

As mentioned previously, simplicity is the main point when designing custom flags.

If possible utilize vector art in creating simple design with just minimum number of text.

Then you may use PMS colors to ensure that the flag manufacturer knows exactly the color that you want to use in your artwork.

Once you are contented with the colors and design then your flag will be printed and delivered to you. With the tips shared above then you should be able to have the custom flag that will fit your needs and desired purpose.
