Feather Flag Frequently Asked Questions.
The answer to this question depends on how you plan to display the flags. Single sided flags work well if they are on display at a distance. In addition, it helps if the message is simple like “SALE”, “OPEN” or Branding. The single sided option works well along roadways and driveways. Especially, when drawing attention is the primary goal. If prospects are up close or will the flags include detailed information. A double-sided option may be your best option.

1) When installing we recommended that two people are used to setup and install the flag in order to prevent any damage to the flag or hardware.
2) Check and make sure all bearings are properly lubricated the first time you install your kit, be sure to maintain and keep these bearings well lubricated thereafter to keep rust from accumulating in or around the hardware. This can be easily done with Lubricants such as WD-40.
3) It is recommended that you bring your feather flag and hardware inside at night and when rain or strong winds are expected. Feather Flags are not meant to withstand extreme weather conditions and should not be left exposed to extreme conditions for extended periods of time.
4) Installation should be in a location where it can move freely without coming into contact with objects such as trees, fences, walls, buildings etc. Allowing continual contact with objects can cause damage to your custom feather flags.

What is a Feather Flag?
Advertising flags as a whole have become almost as popular as vinyl banners when it comes to inexpensive outdoor advertising. There are several different banner flag styles and sizes that come under the definition of an Advertising flag, they go by names like Swooper Flag, Teardrop Flag, and Sail Flag are just a few of the names used. But of all the styles available, vertical advertising flags have quickly grown as the most popular type of advertising flag. This article will discuss the reasons for the popularity of feather flags and explore the options available when buying and using Feather Flags.
History of Feather Flags
In the last 15 years or so, advertising flags have quickly become one of the most popular ways for a business or organization to draw attention. This increase in popularity is due to an evolution from the traditional flag sizes and shapes, to the tall, slender shaped advertising flags we see today. The inspiration for today’s feather flags can be traced back to Umbul-Umbul flags. These colorful, uniquely shaped flags have long been part of festivals and religious events in Bali, Java, and Indonesia. In the early ’80s, these flags inspired American kite & flag artist George Peters to create a variety of flag designs that he used at various exhibits. It was at these exhibits that the term “Feather Banners” originated after a reviewer at Phoenix Contemporary Arts Center in 1982 described the shape as “feather-like”.
Evolution of Feather Banner Shape.
These early Feather Banners lacked the curved top that we are familiar with today as they were mounted on a straight pole with the edge of the flag being curved. Feather Flags would evolve again when a kite designer from the UK named Martin Lester would introduce the curved top design using a fiberglass fishing pole. These were mainly used for display at festivals in the beginning. The inevitable crossover to advertising is believed to have taken place at a kite festival in Bristol UK in 1993, and a new breed of advertising flag was born. Numerous variations would follow and give way to the basic banner flag shapes we have today.
Personalized Feather Flags versus Pre-Printed Feather Signs
Feather Flags offer two design options to choose from, you can have a banner flag customized with your message, or you can purchase Pre-printed stock flags with designs that represent a wide variety of business categories. These categories include Auto, Food Service, Real Estate, and then general Feather Flags that advertise Sales, Specials, or just solid colors to draw attention. When it comes to pricing, the pre-printed feather signs are usually less expensive than the customized advertising flag because of bulk printing. While the customized option may cost a little more, they allow you to use your branding and message. A popular method is to combine the use of custom feather flags, and the pre-printed feather signs to draw attention. Using both styles can maximize your exposure and stretch your advertising dollar.
Are Custom Feather Flags Double Sided?
While almost all pre-printed flags come single sided, custom feather flags have the option of having a double-sided display. Double sided displays usually consist of 2 plies that are sewn together with a blocker layer in the middle. The two plies allow you to have a message on each side, with the blocker layer between to prevent light from passing through and visually distorting the message. We have a more detailed explanation, and a quiz to help you choose single- or double-sided feather flags here.

Hardware options
Most Feather flag sets or kits include a pole and ground stake. The pole sets usually come in 3-4 pieces that fit conveniently together and consist of lightweight fiberglass or aluminum sections, or a combination thereof. The ground stake is the standard mount included in most standard packages. The ground stake is driven into the ground and provides a stable base that holds the flag pole. When it comes to indoor use, or where a stake can’t be driven into the ground, several options exist.
Indoor mount options.
The most common alternative to the ground stake is the Cross Base, the Cross Base allows your custom feather flag to set up anywhere there is a flat, stable surface. A water bag or sandbag counter-weight stabilizes the cross base to keep the flag from tipping over. Other mounts available include wall mounts, tire mounts, and hardware that allows mounting your custom feather flags to the legs on a custom tent.
What is the turnaround time for a Custom Feather Flag?
When it comes to finding out how long it takes to get a custom flag, there are two things you need to consider. First is production time, second is shipping method. In most cases the production time starts once the design proof has been approved, and can run anywhere from next day to two weeks. Some dealers will offer to expedite production for a custom flag for a fee. Still, if you shop around, you will be able to find expedited production without having to pay any extra charges. Shipping methods can be pretty standard with transit times in the 3-5-day range.
Do I need a permit to use Banner Flags?
If you are in an incorporated area like a small town or larger city, you should check to see if regulations require you to get a permit to display feather flags. Some communities require permitting, or may even forbid the use of advertising flags. If you are not obliged or limited by local regulation, you should still display your custom feather flags with safety and common courtesy in mind. Do not overuse or become a nuisance to your neighbors by blocking the view of their signage. Be sure to replace or remove old tattered and faded advertising flags that no longer benefit your business. This responsibility applies to all types of advertising flags. Using feather responsibly can help prevent future regulation or banning of vertical advertising flags in your community.

Now it is time to get your design idea ready for print. As you look for an online flag maker, you will find that there are multiple options to have your feather flag design created.
- Online Designer – Most online dealers offer an online design option for your online. In most cases, you can choose fonts, colors, and upload artwork.

To use this type of service, you contact the dealer and describe the type of design you want, and submit any artwork or logos you wish to use. The dealer will put together a proof and send it to you for approval.

Most dealers require you to proof your design during checkout, while some will offer to send you a production proof for approval. It varies by the dealer on the price for a PDF proof; in some cases, there is no charge. Either way, carefully check your design before you submit it.
Tips for designing and ordering a custom flags –
- When using or submitting artwork for your design, use quality images with a minimum of 150 dpi, avoid using images found on the web as they are usually 72 dpi and will not print well.
- Use easy to read fonts for your message. Keep your audience in mind when designing your feather flag. For example, if your planning on using your banner flag on a roadside for passing traffic, you will want a short easy to read message.
- Fully understand the difference between single and double sided feather flags and which option will work best for you. Knowing the difference could save you money as a double sided feather flags are not always necessary.
