4. The Two Sides of Flags
Taylor cautioned distributors to inspect how a flag looks from both sides. "Most flag material is thin and the printing is seen through both sides," he said. "The reverse side of the flag is a mirror opposite of the front side."
5. Get Your Licensing Straight
College and professional sports teams will often require a license to use their logos. Besides making sure you have the correct permissions and paperwork to use said logos, you also want to make sure that your client has the same allowances. Sometimes clients, such as a college fraternity or an NFL fan club, will request merchandise with a school or team's logo on it, not realizing they have no authority over the use of a team's logo. The last thing a promotion needs is trademark or other licensing issues, so always follow up with official sources.
