Looking for a supplier of stick flags
About A4 size, ideally on a stick , light weight 100% poly so I can sub them A4 and the design show right through.
About 100
Maybe I could make them?
Any suggestions?
thanks
phil

The Transfer Press do various grades of polyester fabric by the metre or roll. I've got 3 different grades at home and the lightest/cheapest would do the job well. If you print one side the other will definitely show through but will, of course, be reversed.

They definitely will fray logo. Most of the blanks I have seen have stitched edges -

You'd probably need to stitch the 'tubed' edge that fits onto the pole in any case.

ready-range do some nice flags but they don't go as small as A4 their smallest flag is 25cm by 35cm.

I got some patches from them and they were pretty good. I need to get more all those gamers love their badges :)

Ready Range are too good, its just a cheap wavy flag, almost disposable that i am after, and on a stick...
I suppose i could get 1,000,000 from Alibaba, - but I only want 100

DO you have a Roland?

If yes why not get some flag material and print directly on to the flag. If you need to hem them it would be really easy etc. etc.
