All accessories and flagpoles are in stock at Beachflags.com. We will send the accessories with your order. In case you want to receive the accessories sooner, extra delivery costs will be charged.

1.4 Until when can I cancel my order?

After you have placed your order you can cancel it until the moment of production. After approval of the files we will start producing your beach flags. Because beach flags are customer-specifically produced, returning the flag itself is not possible. That is why we ask you to always check your files thoroughly. 

1.5 How can I request a quote?

Download the work drawing as can be found on the product page of the selected product before supplying your files. Before we take your flag into production we check the file for technical errors. Take note of the following things for your layout:

- Preference for Vector files
- If applicable, notify us of your color codes (PANTONE/PMS)
- Layout preferably done in Adobe Illustrator (.AI, .PDF or Vector file)
- Supply 1:1 roster files in a minimum of 100DPI, 1:3 in 300DPI (CMYK)

4.2 How does the free design for beachflags.com work?

Our Beachflags.com team can help you create a design. For this, you should describe as accurately as possible what you want (colour, text, font, images). You should also supply the images and logos in good quality files. Our preference is for vector files such as EPS, PDF, SVG or Ai or a high-resolution (>150dpi) file such as JPG, PNG or PS. You can upload your logo and sketch when ordering or email us at [email protected]. Creating a design is our free service. We will adjust the design a maximum of three times, after that we will charge a fee of €25.00 for creating/adjusting a design.

4.3 I have several designs, how do I supply these?
In case you ordered multiple beach flags, it is possible to supply different layouts. For example, if you ordered two beach flags and you would like to receive two different designs. You can upload multiple files during the placement of your order or after, in your account. At the input field ‘remarks’ you can notify us that your upload regards multiple designs. You can also mention this in the filename. There are no extra costs connected to multiple designs!
4.4 What are the possibilities regarding double-sided printing?

A beach flag with double-sided print has many benefits. One of these benefits is that both sides may be different. This way, you can always communicate information to your customers correctly!

An important point is the use of colors. For example, it’s possible to make one side blue and the other white. However, all edges of our beach flags are hemmed and double-stitched. In that case you will have a white border (+/- 1cm) on the blue side, or a blue border on the white side. Furthermore, we can only use one color stitching (blue or white). In case you have a preference for the finish on these beach flags, you can notify us with your order or through e-mail. In case you do not notify us, the finish will be determined during production. If you want an image as a background, we recommend mirroring it on one side.

An oversight of the most important points:

  • Each side has its own design
  • Several colors per side possible
  • 1 color stitching (approximate color of the flag is standard)
  • Take note of color usage due to hemming of the borders
  • mirror background image

6 Maintenance
6.1 Can I wash the beach flags?

Our beach flags can be washed in the washing machine. Use low-duty detergent and set your washing machine to 30°C.

Do not put your beach flags in the dryer and do not iron them. Your beach flag will dry on its own in the wind, when you hang it outside. Furthermore, the beach flags will lose any wrinkles or creases. 

6.2 Up to what wind force can the beach flags be used?

Our beach flags are strong in quality. But we recommend that you do not place the beach flags outside in strong winds (wind force 5 Bft and above).

6.3 Storing the beach flags

In case you are not using the products, it would be wise to store them properly. Disassemble the beach flags and clean the separate parts. In case necessary, wash the beach flags (30°C, low-duty detergent). Make sure all parts are dry. Store the products in the intended storage bag. In case you do not own a storage bag, you can order one here.

7 Guarantee
7.1 Is there a guarantee on my flag?

Beachflags.com strives for an excellent quality. The flags are printed on polyester textile and washable. All our beach flags are hemmed and double-stitched by default. You have a choice from several materials, including the popular Air Textile (perforated textile)

 

The lifespan of a beach flag that is also placed outdoors depends on several factors, such as weather conditions, how the flag is positioned and how it is handled. Beach flags can already show wear within a few months due to frequent and/or improper use. The beach flag should be free to move and turn in the wind so that it does not touch anything. When the flag rubs against something, the fibres break and fray, tear and/or other damage occurs.

Our beach flag bases are designed to allow the beach flag to rotate. If the beach flag is fixed and it cannot rotate freely, more force is put on the flag, pole and base. This can significantly reduce its lifespan.

We recommend not placing the flags outside in strong winds (>5Bft). It is also advisable to bring the flag and bases inside at night and not leave it outside 24/7.

The colours of a flag are always affected by wind, rain and sun and will fade to a greater or lesser extent.

 

In case there are problems with the beach flags or their corresponding hardware (poles and feet) we will provide a fitting solution. If our customer is satisfied, we are satisfied.

We advise you to check if everything is in working order as soon as your product is delivered.
