Professional Design Tips

Points to consider during the design process for an effective table flag:

• Logo Optimization: The logo can be simplified for clear readability in a small space. Very fine details and text may be lost depending on the printing technique. Using vector (.ai, .eps, .pdf) files prevents loss of quality.
• Color Management: The colors to be used in printing should be matched with the Pantone or CMYK values in the corporate identity guide. Sufficient contrast between the background and logo color increases readability.
• Double-Sided Printing: In cases where the flag will be visible from both sides, the design should be prepared as a mirror image. It must be evaluated in terms of cost and technical suitability.
• Edge Allowances (Bleed): The design file should be prepared with cutting allowances (usually 2-3 mm for each edge) added. This ensures that the print area is uninterrupted at the edges.
