Quick answer: Custom sublimation flags are polyester flags printed in full colour by dye sublimation, so the ink becomes part of the fabric and shows through on the reverse side. Clubs, supporter groups, schools, events and brands use them for match days, club houses, stands, shops and promotions. You choose the size, the design and the finish, such as hemmed edges, grommets or a pole sleeve. Pexton Apparel makes custom flags in Sialkot, Pakistan, and ships duty paid to the USA, UK, Canada and Europe.
A good flag has to look bright from a distance, survive wind and handling, and still look sharp after a season of use. Sublimation is the best way to print one: unlimited colours, sharp crests and no cracking, because the print is dyed into the polyester rather than sitting on top.
Why Sublimation for Flags?
- Unlimited colours: crests, photos and gradients cost the same as simple designs.
- Shows on both sides: the dye passes through light flag fabric, so the design is visible from behind (in mirror image).
- No cracking or peeling: the print is part of the fabric, so it survives folding and wind.

Artwork Tips
Send vector artwork (AI, PDF or EPS) or a high-resolution image, at least 150 dpi at the final size. Keep text away from the edges, because hems and grommets take up space. We check every file and send a mock-up before printing. Matching club merchandise? Add custom scarves and sublimated towels in the same design.

How Custom Flags Are Made
- Artwork check: we check your file, adjust it to the flag size and send a digital mock-up.
- Printing: the design is printed onto transfer paper and pressed into the polyester with heat, which turns the ink into a gas that dyes the fibres.
- Cutting and sewing: the flag is cut to size and the edges are hemmed.
- Finishing: grommets or a pole sleeve are added, then every flag is checked and packed.
For a club order, we can make flags in the same run as your supporter merchandise, so the colours match across the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric are sublimation flags made of?
Polyester flag fabric. Sublimation ink only bonds with polyester, which also keeps the flag light and quick-drying.
Can a flag be printed on both sides?
A single-layer sublimated flag shows the design through to the back in mirror image. For a correct design on both sides, we can make a double-layer flag.
What sizes can you make?
We make flags to the size you need, from small hand-held flags to large stand and wall flags. Tell us the width and height.
How do you finish the edges?
Hemmed edges as standard, with metal grommets or a pole sleeve depending on how the flag will be hung.
Do you ship flags duty paid?
Yes. We ship DDP to the USA, UK, Canada and Europe.
