PRODUCTS
We provide many different flag and banner designs of a range of sizes and choosing the design which is best for you depends on the purpose of the flag. We have provided a Specification Sheet (which can be downloaded as a PDF file) on products descriptions which provide you with specific information relating to the size and weigh of our flags. This also informs you of the best base to use to anchor your flags. Please click on the following link to download a copy of the specification sheet.

A single-sided printed flag has the design printed on just the one side. This allows the flag to move more freely in the wind, making the design eye-catching. Although, this type of print will also show through to the other side of your flag in a mirrored image.

A double-sided printed flag has a design which features on both sides of the flag. They are composed of three flags sewn together, making the overall flag much heavier and sturdier (therefore making them longer lasting).

The type of base you require to anchor your base is dependent upon the ground you wish to place it on. For instance, if you are displayed your flag on soft ground it is best to use a ground spike to anchor your flag to, whereas if you are placing the flag on hard ground it is best to use a water base. If you plan to display the flag indoors then a cross-base stand is the most suitable option.
The life of a feather flag depends on variety of different factors, such as: weather conditions, material used, length of time outside and how well the flag is looked after. That being said we cannot give the exact amount of time a flag will last. Take a look at our "Taking Care Of Your Feather Flag" sheet (found alongside your flag) for advice on how to look after and prolong the life of your flag.

To ensure you get the longest available life from your flag is vital that you take care to look after it as best as you can. Here is a brief explanation of how you can take appropriate care of your flag.

We advice that if flags are intended for use outdoors then they are taken indoors or taken down during periods of high winds speeds (i.e. exceeding 25mph). If flags are left up in high wind speeds this could result in tears and rips in the fabric.

Avoid any added weight such as snow or heavy rain.

Be cautious and careful when choosing a location to place your flag. For instance, you should avoid placing them where they may flap against solid surfaces such as walls or fences, on which they may get caught on and cause tearing or wear.

Regularly wash your flag to remove any dirt and debris collected which could cause discolouration of the fabric and to ensure they are kept in a good condition. Our flags can be dry-cleaned or machine-washed at 30 degrees.

Ensure that your flags are completely dry before folding or putting away – we feel it is best to fit your flag back to its pole to remove any creases.

Our flags are produced using 110gsm (grams per squared metre) 100% polyester.
