Custom Flag Art | Custom Printed Flags, Banners and Pennants

Founded in 1919, Custom Flag Art is a Canadian flag and banner manufacturer based in London, Ontario. Backed by over a century of textile manufacturing experience, the company produces a broad spectrum of custom flags, printed banners, pennants, and display signs tailored for the corporate, advertising, retail, sports, and special event sectors.

Industrial Evolution and Printing Technology

The company’s operational history mirrors the technical transformation of the textile printing industry. Originally founded during the World War I era, Custom Flag Art established an integrated production mill by the 1950s that encompassed internal weaving, dyeing, printing, and finishing for natural fibers such as wool and cotton. By the 1980s, manufacturing processes expanded to synthetic polyester fibers, incorporating specialized dyeing, automated screen printing, steaming, and finishing systems. In 1993, the company adopted digital printing, creating new opportunities for on-demand flag and banner production.

Custom Flag Art was directly involved in the development of dye-sublimation ink formulations, testing inks in practical production environments and providing continuous technical data to leading European ink manufacturers. Today, the facility utilizes industrial dye-sublimation processes where heat and pressure fuse ink pigments deep into the polyester substrate. This thermodynamic bonding produces brilliant full-color imagery with nearly 100 percent print penetration to the reverse side, ensuring high-visibility double-sided viewing. Furthermore, the use of UV-resistant inks protects outdoor flags against premature color fading caused by prolonged sunlight exposure.
