                    How do You Make a Flag Last Longer?

                    To maximize the life of your flag, be sure to take the flags and flagpoles indoors during severe weather conditions. If you notice the flag beginning to tear on the outside seam, take it down and get it repaired right away. Once the damage makes it to the inside of the flag, it cannot be repaired.
                    To clean the flags hand wash them with a light amount of soap and let them air dry. Do not put them into the dryer.

                     

                    What Flags Last the Longest?

                    All flags have the same lifespan, which is roughly 6 to 12 months. For dry areas (California, Nevada, Texas, etc), you will usually replace the flag due to fading. For areas with high winds (Florida, New York, Georgia, etc), you will usually be replacing your flags due to wear and tear.
                    To maximize the lifespan, take the flags indoors during severe weather or when you are not running a promotion.

                     

                    RGB, CMYK, and Pantone Colors

                    The colors that you see on your computer and phone aren’t the same color that will print. A commonly asked question is “Please explain CMYK vs RGB to me, I don’t understand. Why can’t you make the color match my computer screen?”

                    RGB stands for Red, Green, and Blue. This color mode is used for digital mediums, such as computers, TVs, and phones. Your computer monitor and other RGB displays will display your color with a combination of red, green, and blue light. These lights create bright and vibrant colors with a neon “glow.”

                    CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. This mode is used for printing materials such as feather flags flyers, brochures, etc. To make color CMYK you have to physically mix different amounts of C, M, Y, and K ink to create your desired color. It’s like mixing paint colors.

                    Pantone colors use a Pantone Matching System (PMS) based on CMYK to print standardized colors across different businesses and industries. This system is used across the US to identify specific colors, match colors, or guarantee the use of color.
