Will the flag colours run or smear when wet ? No - the flags are laser printed.
Laser printed ? I have heard that laser printed flags can crack. This is true. The heat used to seal laser toner to the surface of the paper can make the paper brittle and toner can separate from the paper if it is folded sharply. If you follow the instructions and avoid creasing the paper as you assemble the flags, you won't have that problem.
How thick is the paper used for your flags ? All ranges are currently printed on high quality 100gsm paper. This does make them very sturdy once assembled. I am trying to source a thinner paper to offer as an alternative but, so far, I haven't found one of acceptable quality and performance.
How durable are your flags - will they stand up to regular use ? Obviously this depends on how well you treat your figures but, if you think they are likely to be handled by the flags on a regular basis then I'd advise varnishing the flag. Use a water-based acrylic varnish.
Will you be doing flags for (... insert period or battle here ...) ? See our current plans to find out what we are working on. If you don't see what you want there then I'm always open to suggestions - e-mail me.
One of your flags is wrong - do you want to know about it ? I certainly do. I try hard not to make errors but I'm sure that they will creep in. Tell me about the error and I'll look into it and correct it as soon as possible.
