What materials are used to create Advertising Flags?

Advertising flags are made using lightweight, flexible poles and high-quality fabric, such as polyester or nylon, which is designed to withstand wind and weather conditions. The flags are printed using a dye-sublimation process which ensures long-lasting, vibrant colors that won’t fade easily.

Why are Advertising Flags effective?

Research has shown that advertising flags are highly effective at drawing attention to businesses or events. In fact, they are at least five times more effective than not having any signage at all. This is because they create an eye-catching focal point for passersby, which can help to generate interest and attract customers.

What types of Advertising Flags are available?

There are three main types of advertising flags available: Feather flags, Teardrop flags, and Square flags. Feather flags, also known as swoop flags, advertising flags, and flag banners, have a curved, feather-like shape that catches the wind and creates movement. Teardrop flags, also called bow flags, beach flags, wing banners, or outdoor flags, have a more rounded, teardrop shape. Square flags are more traditional in shape, resembling a rectangular or square banner.

What’s included in the flag set? Does the flag need to come with a base?

The complete flag set includes a flag, pole, and base. The pole holds the flag in shape, and the base is integrated with a bearing (spindle), which allows the pole to rotate freely. Without the base, the flag will wrap around the pole.
