Custom Country Flags in Dubai: Made to the Published Specification
National flags are the one product where taste plays no part. Proportion, colour and orientation are all fixed by somebody else, and any deviation is noticed immediately by the people who care most. Custom country flags in Dubai are produced to the published specification for each nation.
Custom Country Flags: tell us the size, the quantity and the date you need it by.

Six steps happen between the brief and the finished job. Here they are, in the order they happen on our floor in Dubai South.
The Ratio Is Defined
Every national flag has a set width to height ratio, and it differs between countries. A flag made to a convenient size instead of the correct ratio looks subtly wrong next to a correct one.
Colours Come From the Specification
We work from the official colour references and never from an image found online. Web versions of flags are frequently the wrong shade and often the wrong proportion as well.
Proofing Catches the Difficult Colours
Some national colours shift on polyester, greens especially. These are proofed and adjusted at file stage before a full run, which is where most mismatched flags could have been prevented.
Finishing Follows the Use
Outdoor flags get doubled fly edges with rope and toggle or clips. Indoor and ceremonial versions take sleeves and often a fringe.
Sets Are Made Together
Where several countries fly together, all flags are produced in one run on the same cloth so white points and sheen match across the row.
Any Nation, Any Size
We print to order instead of holding stock, so a flag is made to your pole height and your finishing requirement. Where a set will be added to over time, keep a record of the exact cloth and finishing used. A flag added two years later on different stock sits noticeably brighter in a row. Tell us the mounting before we finish the flag. The same national flag can be made with a sleeve, with rope and toggle or with clips, and a correct flag with the wrong fitting cannot go up on the pole you own.
The thing to check before ordering: flags for official or governmental use sometimes carry requirements beyond the published specification, set by the body concerned. A technically correct flag can still be the wrong one for a particular ceremony.

Setting up your file.
- 01Work at full size or to scaleBuild the file at full size, or at a stated scale such as 1:10 when the canvas gets too big, and tell us the scale.
- 02Match resolution to distanceSomething read from a few metres away needs far less resolution than a business card. Around 100 dpi at full size is usually plenty.
- 03Tell us how it will be fixedHems, eyelets, pole pockets and frames take up material around the edge. Tell us the fixing and prepress allows for it.
- 04Send logos as vectorsAI, EPS, SVG or PDF keeps edges sharp at large sizes. Embed or outline the fonts.
