Flags are dye-sublimation printed on a knitted polyester, this offers durability and bright colours to both sides. All flags are trimmed to shape, stitch overlocked to prevent fraying and stitch hemmed with elasticated pole pocket to ensure a snug fit at all times. All flags are suitable for 13-18mph winds (beaufort scale 4)

Note: Due to the heat transfer method used to fix the print to the fabric, a slight residue can sometimes be seen in the print, often this is not noticeable and gets washed out in the rain. If you do notice residue (can be mistaken for running ink) your flag will benefit form a cold (30deg max) machine wash, this will remove the residue and sharpen up your print.

Where can I use my feather flags?

Feather flags are a short-term temporary product and therefore, generally the don’t require planning permission, however if you are unsure it might be worth checking with your local council to be on the safe side. Feather flags are ideal for shows, outdoor events, trade shows and festivals. Feather flags can be used indoors where you have plenty of height, for example exhibition centres or sports arenas.

What should I have printed on my flag?

Generally with printed flags you only display a word or two or a logo, the purpose of a feather flag is simply to let people know you’re here, if you’re looking to add more information then you should consider a roller banner.

Will my flag be double sided?

Most feather flags are printed on one side with the image bleeding through to the other side in mirror image, 99% of all feather flags are printed in this way and the hang and look best like this, remember the flag is doing its job and people generally expect the opposite side of a flag to be in mirror print. Flags can have a block material sewn into the middle and then another stitched to the other side, this gives a 3 layer flag where each side is printed without any mirror, it must be noted that this is not always the best solution and it won’t hang and flap quite the same as a single sided with bleed type flag.
