Custom Flags & Banners

To receive a firm quotation on a custom banner, complete specifications are required. A black-and-white drawing will suffice and may be faxed to 800-555-9269 or emailed (preferred) to customwork@glendale.com.  Please provide at least 300 dpi resolution or EPS format for images and/or artwork. The most effective design is the simplest. All elements should be easily recognizable from a distance. Remember that the viewer may have only a fleeting instant to see the visual image you wish to convey. Choose well-balanced colors with good contrast.
