Double-sided Flag Printing

Our Most Popular Double-sided Flags

Double-sided flags vs Standard Print

Single sided vs Double Sided Flags

As the images show, standard print displays words differently on the back.

This won’t be an issue if you are using short words, such as SALE or OPEN. This is due to the fact that most people can read small words forwards and backwards (or in reverse)

Double-sided flags display text correctly on both sides. The two double-sided images show the choice between running the same copy on both sides or running different copy on each side, for example.

Please do not hesitate to speak with us about how you wish to present the design if you need double-sided flags.

One of our most popular styles right now is double-sided feather flags for advertising and promotional purposes.

They are very keenly priced, that is to say, we compare very favourably to other flag makers in the UK.

Traditional-style flags flown from a permanent pole are generally designed to look the same from the front and back. These types of flags are absolutely fine printed onto a single piece of flag material.

Feather Flags

Promotional flags, however, tend to display marketing messages on them, so any writing on the front can almost be illegible on the back.

There is only one real solution currently: printing 2 flags and sewing them back-to-back so both sides are easily readable. An inner liner or blockout material is used to reduce show-through, and this is becoming increasingly popular.

The only limitation to bear in mind with double-sided flags is that bright white flags will appear a very light grey in certain light or bright sunshine.
