Feather Flag Care

How do I wash a flag?

Following these steps will help maintain your flag’s vibrant colours and extend its lifespan.

Hand Wash Recommended: Use lukewarm water (30°C) and a mild detergent.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Gentle Rinse: Rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue.
Air Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry in a shaded area. Avoid tumble drying.
Ironing: You can iron directly onto the fabric using a cool setting.

Weather Limitations

This compact guide ensures your flag stays in great condition year-round.

Windspeed: Bring flags indoors if wind speeds exceed 30mph to avoid damage. For consistently windy areas, consider Airmesh or Toughtex flags for added durability.
Rain: Rain is no problem; the materials are designed to withstand wet weather.
Cold Weather: Cold temperatures are no problem and will not impact the flag’s performance.

Tailored Feather Flags, Designed Around You

Every organisation has its own personality — whether you're a business, a club, or planning an event, your flag should reflect that. That’s why every feather flag we produce is made to order and built around your specific goals, location, and design ideas.

Easy, Hassle-Free Design Support

If you already have artwork ready, just send it over. If not, no problem — our in-house designers are here to help. We’ll work with you to create a custom design that captures your message, colours, and branding. And because design is included as part of our service, there are no extra costs to worry about.

No matter where you plan to use your flag, we’ll help you choose the best fabric for the job — so it looks great and lasts longer.

The Japanese Roots of Advertising Flags and the Birth of Sailflags 🚩

Modern advertising flags, including feather flags, owe much of their design and technique to Japan, where centuries of flag-making tradition and the use of screen printing created bold, attention-grabbing designs. This Japanese influence not only shaped the global flag industry but also inspired the creation of Sailflags, the UK’s pioneers in advertising flags.

Japanese Flag-Making and Screen Printing

In Japan, flags such as nobori were used for centuries in everything from samurai battlefields to marketplaces and festivals. These banners were designed for visibility and impact, with clear messaging and durable materials that could withstand the elements. By the 20th century, Japanese artisans had perfected screen printing, a technique that produced vibrant and lasting designs—ideal for promotional use.

Peter Williams’ Discovery

In the 1990s, Peter Williams, the founder of Sailflags, visited Japan and was captivated by their innovative approach to flag-making. He saw the potential for this style of promotional flag in the UK market, where there was a gap for bold, portable, and cost-effective advertising tools. Recognising the opportunity, Peter returned to the UK and founded Sailflags, bringing the concept of advertising flags to British businesses.

Sailflags: The UK’s Flag Innovators

As the originators of advertising flags in the UK, Sailflags introduced a product that transformed outdoor marketing. By combining the principles of Japanese design with local expertise, the company offered businesses a new way to stand out at events, fairs, and storefronts. Over the years, advancements like digital dye-sublimation printing have further enhanced their flags’ quality and durability, but the core inspiration remains rooted in Japanese craftsmanship.

A Legacy of Innovation

Thanks to Peter Williams’ vision, Sailflags has led the UK market in advertising flags for decades. From their beginnings inspired by Japan’s rich tradition to becoming the go-to brand for high-quality promotional flags, Sailflags continues to innovate while honouring the heritage that started it all.
