I've done a quick Google search and found some places online where I can order a complete custom transparent printed flag (3x5 foot) for about $90.
Before pushing the GO button, I was curious if anybody knows of any other places that might be less expensive or better?

Thanks... :)

Going to have to explain what the heck you would be doing with transparent printed flags for us to comment.

Sorry, that was the term used by one of the online sites I did a quote at. The print bleeds through both sides so the other side is mirror images. I assumed it was a generic term.
I went to buildasign.com and they have screen printed polyester flags you can custom design for $90 (3x5')

What if you wanted a letter or a number... or a word? If its "bleed thru" printing then everything on rhe reverse side would be backwards...
this would only work for a simple object designs...

Most if not all state flags have a right side and a wrong side. Even the ones with text. If I were to have a custom flag made with text I would probably want both sides to be the right side. Savvy?

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a cheap pirate flag of my own design--is that your question? Did you check out the pirate shop there at Shoreline Village? Good place for stuff like that; can get a hat too, probably. They also have eye patches and plastic pirate swords!

Been to that shop many times. I don't think they make anything, just selling chotchkies, but they might know someone who does.

So back to my original question, I'm thinking that about $90 for a 3x5 custom printed flag is not bad based on your statements and suggestions?

Bear with me here, because I'm not really hip to these things, but what is the message or significance of flying the pirate flag? Or...is there a special event or occasion that is associated with it. Halloween, boat parade perhaps?

Yup, sail bag lady. Same one I suggested above. We had a customer flag made by her years ago, don't remember the cost but the thing was very well made and lasted for years.
