10 Things You Should Know About Promotional Flags

Promotional flags have become a cost-effective way to attract attention to business premises and show stands across the country.

Available in all kinds of shapes and sizes, promo flags are a blank canvas for you to maximise your own brand identity and unique message.

Here are the top 10 Things You Should Know about them:

They are designed to be light and portable.
Flags and flag systems can be used indoors or outdoors.
Flags can be printed on one side (standard) and often show through writing on the reverse
2 flags can be sewn back to back to ensure both sides read correctly if required.
Flags are designed to move in a light breeze to attract attention.
Digital colour is normally available.
Flags and flagpoles are secured to a portable base or ground spike (for use on grass)
Product life varies according to outdoor weather conditions and hours per day exposed to wind and rain. Will last up to six months exposed 24/7 to elements or up to 3 years if stored away each day.
There is no limitation to what designs you can have on a flag.
Flags come in many shapes and sizes, from banner shapes to feathers, sails, and teardrops.
Promotional flags offer an attractive alternative to traditional static signage, such as A-Boards. Demand for promotional flags continues to grow in the UK, particularly from the B2B community.

Buying feather flags can be a little confusing online too, so it’s worth getting a price in writing.

It’s also worth noting the following:

Not all prices include a flagpole and base option
Design is often an additional charge
Prices advertised in the print industry, tend to be net, that is, they do not include vat
Delivery tends to be extra
The best way to order your flags is at least 2 weeks in advance to avoid paying any surcharges for a quick turnaround (especially during spring, summer)
There are no standardised promotional flag sizes, so it’s worth understanding the difference in sizing, to make sure they will be fit for the purpose
Not many companies advertising promotional flags actually make them, so understand where the origin of the flags are dispatched from, otherwise, you may incur further import duties
