Portable flags can be placed outside a premises and brought in each day without planning permission.

You will however need to abide by health and safety guidelines regarding pedestrians etc.

Permanent flags may be subject to planning permission, especially if the property is a listed building, for example.

Our standard sized portable flagpole systems are the most popular by far.

If you have limited space however, we would recommend you consider using smaller models, like the super saver or value range.

These flags can be placed on a small base or wall bracket, saving space, for example.

The Sailflags team are always on hand to guide you on the best solution if you are unsure.

Yes.

We offer a free design and proofing service to ensure the flags will look just right.

Your order is only completed once artwork is approved by you, for example.

In conclusion, you do not need to pay upfront for your flags until you are happy with design proofs.

Yes.

We will always provide prices including a free fillable base or soft ground spike.

Sailflags also offer a range of non-plastic options, including cross base and metal or concrete bases, for example. Additional costs may apply to some of these products.

If you are looking for something different to secure flagpole into, please let us know at time of enquiry, for example.

This will help us quote accurately before you proceed.

Sailflags make all flags in-house and our costs are carefully managed to ensure our customers receive quality products with an eye on value for money.

By working with a flag maker direct, you reduce the cost paid per flag, even on individual and low print runs.

It is always worthwhile asking what quality (in gsm) material flags will be made from when you are shopping around. This single question will often guide you on any significant difference between flag prices.

On the other hand, if you are using a design agency or signage company to source your flags, the price has to be increased to reflect both their design time and time spent organising booking and delivery.

Standard print

Single sided print using 1 piece of flag material with a show through of design on the back. Words and graphics read / display correctly on front and reverse reading or mirrored on the back.

Double sided print

2 flags sewn back to back (with an inner liner to reduce show through) All writing and graphics read or display correctly both sides.

Our portable flag systems can be used indoors or outdoors and are designed to withstand winds up to 35mph.

We do not recommend however, displaying portable flagpole systems in excessive wind and rain.

We use a very effective dye sublimation process using environmentally conscious inks. This provides vibrant digital colour reproduction and we would normally expect flags to last between 1-2 years on medium usage (daily use outside)

There are however, several factors that will either prolong the life of the flag or reduce it.

Here is a common list of factors:

• Portable Flag systems are designed to be brought in each day and doing this will help extend the life of the whole system, including the flag

• If your part of the world is subject to excessive weather conditions (wind, rain, sunlight) these factors can all add extra stress to flags and the portable systems.

Please let us know when making an enquiry and we can discuss ways to work around this for you.

• Leaving flags out at night can be detrimental to the fabric

• Using flags as permanent signage is not a sound solution. If you need permanent signage, we can discuss alternatives with you.

• Looking for signs of wear and tear early, will ensure your flags can be repaired, rather than replaced

• Keeping portable flags away from walls and obstructions will ensure they keep from harms way

We use good quality flag knit polyester, but other materials are available according to how flags will be used.
