Cestrian’s Flagtastic iPhone and iPad app is now live. Brought to market via PicToPrint, Flagtastic allows anyone to create customised flags with patterns, colours and wording of their choice.
There’s a huge library of templates, from football to racing and corporate to special occasions. Customers can then add their own finishing touches before paying online via Paypal. Delivery is within five working days. The flags can be up to 5m (198in) wide and are printed on are printed on high quality flag material using a dye-sublimation process.
“Business-to-consumer work will always be low-cost but if you get to real volume levels it will outplay B2B” said Cestrian director Phill Reynolds earlier this year when he outlined the company’s ‘futureproofing’ strategy to Image reports for its Widthwise Report 2013 (downloadable for free at http://www.imagereportsmag.co.uk/industry-data/widthwise-2013).
Other apps are due for launch this year, the intention being that “they will feed the presses when they are quiet”.
