Designing your own key flags typically involves submitting your idea, logo, or concept, then working with a design team to finalize the layout. Once approved, production begins, and your custom embroidered key flags are created to your specifications.

We have a minimum order quantity of 100 key flags, and you can reorder as few as 50. The minimum quantity for our key flags applies to each design. This is because each design requires a different digitized image that instructs the machine how to stitch your flag.

Once we agree on the final sample, production time is just 4 weeks!

We’ve got 72 different background colors to choose from and up to 250 thread colors for the embroidered image! Get in touch with us at hello@aviatorgear.com for more information.

There are no additional setup charges for our key flags, and the artwork is on us, too!

We can achieve a highly detailed replication of your artwork using embroidered thread; however, small and intricate details may not stitch as accurately as simpler ones. Facial features and extremely small text are especially challenging. Cartoonish images, on the other hand, stitch quite well, and we do a great job with aircraft and weapons.
