Applique, (Sewn Nylon)

The term "appliqué" refers to the process of sewing a design or lettering onto a flag. Because of new digital printing methods now available appliqué is becoming a thing of the past, but there are still customers that love that the flags are hand made and have an art sewn look, especially for historical flags.

Appliquéd flags are created with premium quality SolarMax nylon.

A nylon appliquéd flag's design reads correct on the front side and reverse (backwards) on the back side. This is called single construction. Single construction is normal for most outdoor applications. For parade or rodeo use, we can make two flags and sew them together, so the flag will read correct on both sides; this is called double construction.

Finishes

Parade, rodeo, and indoor appliquéd flags are usually finished with a pole hem, tabs, and fringed. Outdoor use appliqué flags are usually finished with a canvas header and two brass grommets.

Pricing is determined by many factors (i.e., size, finish, detail of the design etc). When submitting a concept design to us, please include the size, colors, usage (indoor, outdoor, parade, rodeo), quantity, type of finish, (single construction or double construction), date needed; fringed or unfringed.
