Types of Advertising Flags

We offer a variety of advertising flag styles to suit your specific needs:

Feather Flags

Our most popular option, featuring a curved top and straight or curved bottom edge. Ideal for creating a dynamic, eye-catching display.

Teardrop Flags

A sleek, teardrop-shaped design that works well for modern, stylish brands. These flags are particularly wind-resistant.

Sail Flags

Rectangular flags with straight edges, offering maximum space for your message or branding.

Blade Flags

Similar to feather flags but with a more angular design, perfect for creating a sharp, professional look.

Traditional Rectangular Flags

Classic flag design, ideal for displaying logos or simple messages.

Materials and Printing Process

Our advertising flags are crafted using state-of-the-art materials and printing techniques to ensure vibrant, long-lasting results:

High-Quality Flag Knit Polyester

We use premium 115gsm knitted polyester flag fabric, known for its durability, lightweight properties, and excellent print reproduction. This material is designed to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining its visual appeal.

Dye Sublimation Printing

We use dye sublimation printing, a process that infuses ink directly into the fabric fibres. This results in vivid, fade-resistant colours that won't crack, peel, or wash away. The dye sublimation process also allows for full-colour printing, including gradients and photographic images.

UV and Weather-Resistant Inks

Our inks are specially formulated to resist fading from UV exposure and withstand various weather conditions, ensuring your advertising flags look great for longer.

Single-Sided vs Double-Sided Printing

We offer both single-sided and double-sided printing options:

• Single-sided: The design is printed on one side, with approximately 95% show-through on the reverse. This is our standard option and is suitable for most applications.
• Double-sided: Two separate printed flags are sewn together with a blackout liner in between, ensuring 100% opacity and allowing for different designs on each side.

Flag Sizes and Shapes

We offer a range of sizes to fit your space and visibility requirements:

• Small (2-2.5m): Ideal for indoor use or tight spaces
• Medium (3-3.5m): Our most popular size, suitable for most applications
• Large (4-4.5m): Maximum visibility for outdoor events and tall spaces
• Extra Large (5m+): Ideal for large-scale events and maximum impact
• Custom sizes: Available upon request to meet your specific needs

Pole and Base Options

• Aluminum: More robust option for frequent use or windy conditions

Bases

• Ground spikes: Ideal for soft surfaces like grass or sand
• Cross bases: Perfect for indoor use on flat surfaces
