What types of flags are available?

What material is available?

We offer feather flag printing on 4 oz. soft flag fabric. This premium, durable, high-performance flag material is ideal for indoor and outdoor use. Learn more: Banner Materials & Sign Substrates

Do I need to include bleed?

Yes. When creating your print-ready design file (and when following our layout guide template) for a feather flag, please allow for a 1/2″ bleed along the pole edges and a 1″ bleed along all outer hemmed edges. The black reinforced edging material will be added to the appropriate side and top curve of the material to create the pocket needed to accommodate the provided flagpole.

Can you print double-sided feather flag banners?

Yes, we offer both one-sided and two-sided feather flags. Both types are printed via dye sublimation printing, which offers vibrant color and advanced durability. Our double-sided flags feature a blackout liner that ensures your content and designs are clearly visible on both sides. Learn more: Dye Sublimation Printing

Does my flag come with a pole and base? A carrying case?

Feather flags do not automatically come with a pole and base. However, you can easily add that hardware to your order using the Flag Pole and Flag Base dropdowns on the product page. You can choose the pole that corresponds with the size of your flag and one of four different bases.

A soft-sided carrying case is included when you order a flag with a pole and base for easy transport to and from events and locations. The case is not included when you order the flag only. Learn more: Feather Flag Bases, How to Install Feather Flags

Can I use my flag outside?

Yes. As a premium online printer, we ensure all of our feather flags are compatible with indoor and outdoor use. Our flags are weather-resistant and durable enough to handle heavy wind without shredding, plus they feature fade protection technology to keep your message vibrant.

Are feather flags machine-washable?

No, our feather flag banners are not machine-washable. To clean your feather flag, please hand wash and air dry, steam (if needed), and do not dry clean. To increase the longevity of your flags, be sure to install them in open areas away from wires, trees and buildings, and move them indoors during bad weather.

Are these flags compatible with water ballasts?

Yes. You can add a water ballast to your order using the Water Ballast dropdown on the product page.

Can I create multiple flags in the same order?

Yes. With our Versions feature, you can print various designs to differ content on multiple flags (showcasing products and services or denoting business locations). Our online printing services require your flags to be the same size, but your designs and content can change as much as you like. Learn more: Versions
