For the small flag, I intentionally used the 8 x 14 sublimation paper so I could fit two flags on one sheet with a bleed around the outside edge. If you're going to sublimate the entire flag, there may be some differences in the size between your flags. I kept my design away from the side that goes in the flag pole. If you do go all the way to the edge, you will have a line because the back will be white.

For the garden flag, I did a design in Photoshop and then I added some text on the bottom. This will go in the center of my flag because I don't have a very large heat press. If you have a larger printer and a larger heat press, you can sublimate this entire garden flag.

I preheated my heat press to 400 degrees and set it for 55 seconds. Pre-press each of the flags for 5 to 10 seconds at degrees to remove any moisture. Then lint roll the side where you are adding the sublimation print.

Locate the design on the flag. For the small flag, I left some bleed around three of the edges as discussed previously. Then, tape the print into place. You will also need to use protective paper on the bottom as well as the top. Remember that the side with the sublimation print will be the top when it is in the heat press.

I did want to note here that the large flag I am using is a single layer of fabric. If you get flags that have a double layer of fabric, you can put a design on both sides, but you will need to put protective paper in between those two layers.

Add to your heat press with the sublimation print on the top. Ensure everything is covered with your protective paper on the top and bottom and press. This requires medium pressure. Once it's done pressing, lift up the handle, remove it, and allow it to cool for a few minutes.

For the larger flag, I'm going to press the truck portion first with the name portion hanging off the press. Then, I'll flip it around and press the other side. When it's been pressed on both sides, we'll allow it to cool for a few minutes.

Remove the top protective paper and peel back the print from the flag. Remove any tape. The smaller flag is for something like a party and you will want to add the pole to the side. This one I made is ready for a football bash.

Remove the top protective paper from the garden flag as well. Then, remove the print with the design. You can see just how gorgeous this flag looks and how great it's going to look in my garden this spring.
