LifeA day or two of wavingReusable, event after event

If you are handing flags out to hundreds of people for one day, paper keeps the cost per flag lowest. If the flags need to survive the weather, be waved hard or be used again, choose fabric.

  • Carnivals, parades and street celebrations
  • Sports crowds, fun runs and race finishes
  • Festivals and live events
  • Store openings, launches and promotions
  • School sports days, graduations and open days
  • Charity campaigns, rallies and public events

  • Printed on one side. The design shows through in reverse on the back, which is normal for hand waving flags. Double-sided flags can be made to order: contact us for a price.
  • Each size has a minimum order. 250 for 17 × 13cm paper, 20 for 21 × 12.5cm paper and 10 for 30 × 20cm fabric. Large flags can be ordered singly.
  • Paper is for short-term use. It is ideal for one event, but keep it out of heavy rain.
  • Large flags are sleeved onto their poles. They are ready to carry as soon as they arrive.
  • Keep text big and simple. Hand flags are seen moving and from a distance, so a bold logo and a few words work best.

Hand waving flags are made for volume, and we regularly supply orders in the hundreds and thousands for:

  • Sporting events and supporters’ clubs
  • Festivals, carnivals and parades
  • Public celebrations and national campaigns
  • Schools, colleges and universities
  • Corporate promotions and product launches
