Flag Banners

1. How long will flag banners last?

Our banner poles normally last anywhere between 3-10 years, while flags could last from 1-3 years, depending on how well you take care of them, the UV exposure, and the local climate. We recommend refreshing your design and fabric banners when you need the flags to look fresh again.

2. Will my printed fabric banner fabric fade?

Due to UV exposure, fabric banner colors will eventually fade. Depends majorly on the UV exposure of your area and the colors on the flag, specifically darker colors like black, deep red, and dark blue backgrounds will fade faster than designs with lighter colors. White, light blue, and yellow don’t fade in the sun as quickly. For more detailed info, please check here.

3. Are flag banners and feather banners the same thing? How about teardrop banners, and bowhead banners?

“Flag banners” is simply a more generalized term for Feather Banners. No matter the shapes, Feather banners, teardrop banners, bowhead banners, and rectangular flag banners all fall into this big category.

Teardrop banners are one kind of flag banner that has a distinguished teardrop shape. Bowhead banners are similar to feather banners but with 3 different bottom shapes to choose from.

4. What are the differences between the Feather Banners and Bowhead Banners?

Great question! The two are very similar other than the bottom shapes. While feather banners have a beautiful streamlined bottom shape like feathers, the bowhead has angled, straight, and concave bottom options.

5. Will my design cover the entire flag or just a portion of it?

We’ll print to the very edge to achieve a “wide-screen” effect, except for one-day printing, in which the pole pockets portion will be covered by black or white canvas for speed production.

6. Are your banners fireproof?

Though our banners are highly resistant to heat, most of our polyester products will melt and burn if it comes in contact with flames. We recommend keeping all of your feather banners away from sparks or flames.

7. Are the flag poles interchangeable between different banner sizes?

Each of our flag poles is designed to support one single-sized banner. A large flag pole is thicker, and will not accommodate a small or medium banner, and vice versa. Be sure you match up the size of your banner with the correct sized pole. Let us know if you have questions or need to order an extra banner or replacement poles.

8. Can I have different images on the front and back of double-sided feather banners?

Yes! You can choose to design one side or both so that the sides are the same or both sides are different. Be sure to select the Double-Sided Printing (3 Layers) options when you select product options.

9. What we can see on the back of single-sided banner?

If you choose to print a single-sided flag banner, please know that to save you time and money, the design is bled through rather than printed on the backside. This means that though you can see the design on the other side, it will be mirrored, and the text will not be readable. If you want to have the same message appear perfectly on both sides, you will need to select the double-sided option.

10. How to install flag banners?

Feather flags and other flag banners are made to be easy to assemble. Start by assembling all of your materials and make sure you give yourself enough room. Connect all the poles one by one, starting from the thickest to the thinnest. Insert the connector pole into the sleeve of the fabric banner, until the rod tip reaches the double-stitched sleeve end. After you have secured the fabric banner to the pole, use the tension rod and, tie the loop and hooks tightly. The last step is to insert the fabric banner and pole into the base.

There are several common shapes of flag banners, including feather flags, teardrop flags, rectangle flags, and bowhead flags. Feather flags are typically tall and thin with a curved top, while teardrop flags have a similar shape but with a more rounded bottom. Rectangle flags are rectangular, and blade flags are similar to feather flags but with a straight top. Each shape has its unique advantages, and the choice of which one to use will depend on your specific needs.

13. Are double-sided flags more durable than single-sided?

While double-sided flags are generally more durable than single-sided flags, the environment in which you will display them plays a key factor in their longevity. Additionally, double-sided flags are printed on both sides, which makes them visible from all angles and increases their effectiveness in promoting your message or brand.

14. How much wind can they withstand?

The amount of wind a flag banner can withstand depends on several factors, including size, shape, and the material used. Generally, flag banners are designed to withstand winds up to 40 mph. However, certain types of flag banners may be more resistant to wind than others. For example, teardrop and feather flags tend to be more aerodynamic and can withstand higher winds, while rectangular flags may be more susceptible to wind damage. It's important to choose a flag banner that is appropriate for the weather conditions in your area to ensure that it lasts as long as possible.
