Choosing the right flag printing in how custom flags can boost brand visibility at events and offices can make a real difference to how customers see your business. In this guide, the BrandAds team in Kampala shares practical advice drawn from years of producing work for Ugandan businesses.
Key takeaways
- Plan quantities and deadlines early — rush jobs cost more.
- Good artwork (correct size, bleed and resolution) prevents costly reprints.
- Ask for a proof and check every name, number and phone contact.
- Compare total cost per piece, not just the headline price.

What affects the cost in Uganda?
Quantity, materials, size, number of colours or print positions, finishing, design work and turnaround all affect the price. Ordering a little more usually lowers the unit price, while same-day or express production adds a premium. Use the live price calculators on our product pages to compare options instantly.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Sending low-resolution images copied from WhatsApp or websites.
- Forgetting bleed and placing text too close to the edges.
- Approving proofs without checking spelling and phone numbers.
- Leaving orders until the day before an event.
Frequently asked questions
Do you install banners?
Yes — our crew installs banners and backdrops in Kampala and upcountry on request.
Are your banners waterproof?
Yes. PVC and mesh banners are printed with UV-resistant outdoor inks and are waterproof.
Can I get a banner the same day?
Yes — many banners and pull-ups ordered before noon are ready the same afternoon in Kampala.
What resolution should my artwork be?
Because banners are viewed from a distance, 100–150 DPI at full size is enough. Keep important text at least 5 cm from the edges.
