Buying guide
Choose the right feather flag for your display
Start with your available space, viewing distance and ground surface. Advertising flags work best when the logo and message remain easy to read and the base sits clear of doors and pedestrian routes. Measure overhead clearance before choosing a taller display.
Compare feather flag sizes
| Display size | Where to consider it |
|---|---|
| Small · 2.8m | Shop entrances and compact event pitches |
| Medium · 3.4m | Retail promotions and sports-event entrances |
| Large · 4.5m | Larger promotional areas and dealership displays |
| XL · 5.6m | Open outdoor spaces with enough clearance |
These measurements describe the display height, not the artwork dimensions. Each printed feather flag needs its matching template; do not resize a rectangular poster to the pole height.
Choose a compatible base
A ground spike suits appropriate soft ground. For hard standing, check the water-base or cross-base options offered for your chosen size; a cross base may need additional ballast. A drive-on base is intended for a compatible vehicle display. Confirm compatibility when reusing hardware, follow the setup guidance and bring outdoor flags inside during severe weather.
Make your message readable
Use a clear logo, strong contrast and a short message. Keep important text inside the template safe area and leave room around the curved edge. Free artwork help is available: send your logo, wording, colours and chosen size. Check spelling and reading direction on your proof before approval.
Feather flag questions
Should I choose single-sided or double-sided printing?
Single-sided flags show a mirror image on the reverse. Choose double-sided printing where available when wording must read correctly from both sides. Small, medium and large product pages offer double-sided templates; check the XL options before ordering, as its listed template is single-sided.
How do I compare cheap feather flags fairly?
Compare the complete selected specification: printed flag, pole, base, printed sides, production option and delivery. A graphic-only price is not the same as a complete kit. Check the product listing for included items and choose hardware for the location.
Can I replace just the printed flag?
Yes, replacement-flag products are available. Supply the original order reference and size so we can check the graphic against your existing pole. Different flag shapes and pole systems are not automatically interchangeable.
Can I order for an urgent event?
The main flag products list standard, Express and Super Express production options. Confirm capacity, artwork approval cut-offs and courier timing for your required date. Faster production does not by itself guarantee next-day arrival.
