What Are Feather Flags?

Feather flags are the road-side advertising banners you probably see on a daily-basis. They often showcase messages like “open” or “now hiring”. Custom printed feather flags have become popular advertising tools for not only businesses, but events as well, to display custom messages, brand logos, or artwork. These flags typically resemble a feather but are also available in different shapes and sizes. Feather flag signs are made of snap-assembly aluminum or fiberglass poles, a super-knitted polyester flag, and a base to support the display.

Common Synonyms for Custom Feather Flags

After being in the advertising display industry for over a decade, we’ve heard feather flags called a variety of different terms. Some popular synonyms include: beach flags, swooper flags, flutter flags, teardrop flags or banners, flag banner signs, advertising banner flags, wind flags for advertising, blade flags, feather signs, and feather banners.

2. Choose the Height of Your Feather Flags

3. Print Options

Single-sided Feather Flags

Single-sided feather flags are printed on one side only with the print bleed through to create a reverse image on the opposite side of the flag. These feather signs are great for quick passing traffic such as a busy road or train stop, especially if the traffic is going one way. Your design will be visible on both sides, but not as defined or vibrant as a double sided feather flags.

Double Sided Feather Flags

Double sided feather flags are perfect for applications where you need a print clearly visible from both sides or two different designs on each side of the flag. The double sided feather flags feature allows for a richer, more vibrant print on each side, or displaying two different messages on each side of the flag. To create this effect, two custom feather flags are sewn together with a piece of fabric in between to block out any light from shining through. This style is most beneficial when the traffic is moving more slowly, such as a sidewalk or a city avenue because it is much more detailed and can display two separate messages. If you are unsure of which would be best for your application, our customer service team will be happy to help.

Setting up your custom feather flags is a quick and simple task. We’ve outlined this below in five easy steps. In summary, connect the poles, slide the print onto the pole set, secure the pole tip into the reinforced end pocket, place the pole into the base, and connect the bungee cord tensioner and your feather signs setup is complete.

1. Assemble the pole set by inserting the small pole section into their larger counterparts.

2. Insert the assembled pole set (skinny end first) into the opening at the bottom of the feather flag.

3. Push the pole into the pocket and secure the tip into the reinforced end pocket found inside the top of the flag.

4. Place the pole into your base of choice: ground stake, cross stand, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are feather banners and flags used for?

They are used to entice passing traffic to enter your business. They are extremely effective if the print is eye catching and if they are set up correctly. It is important to display flutter flags that will complement your business rather than detract from it. Our custom feather flags are crafted from premium materials and exhibit a professional appearance for any event, brand, or business storefront.

What material are these feather flag banners?

All of our flags are made from our outdoor flag polyester. This lightweight polyester material is built to last through outdoor conditions. This material is also great for color reproduction, meaning your design will stand out more compared to cheaper fabric from other competitors. It is suitable for single-reverse or for double sided prints

What’s the difference between the outdoor flag polyester and the mesh polyester?

The outdoor flag polyester is for more standard feather flag use while the mesh polyester is better for harsher settings. The outdoor flag polyester is a knitted material that is easy to print on. If you are looking for a fabric that will show off your design on both sides, the outdoor flag material is the right choice. The mesh polyester is better suited for durability, such as in very windy or sandy areas. Instead of brushing up against the fabric, the wind and sand particles go through the knitted material, preventing your flag from getting ruined.

Is there a difference between feather flags and feather banners?

This is a popular question. This is a product that goes by many names including swooper flags, feather signs, and blade flags to describe the same product. All these terms can be used interchangeably.

There are some differences when you are describing some of our other popular banner flags including our teardrop, crystal, surfer, razor, dart, and moon flags. Each of these has its own popular design, specific shape and layout. For example, our teardrop flag has and often has a wider and shorter shape than typical feather flags.

How long will these flag banner signs last?

Your custom feather flags should easily last over 2+ years if for proper storage and maintenance requirements are followed. Continued exposure to harsh weather elements, including prolonged bouts in the hot summer sun, can prematurely diminish the quality of your print.

Will strong winds blow my flag away?

Winds, if severe enough, can blow over your feather flag. We sell an array of bases, weights and weighted bags that can help secure it in poor conditions. We strongly recommend to always take your flag inside during inclement weather conditions because there could possibly be damage to the poll or fabric, especially if it is a larger size.

Do you offer custom sizing? What standard sizing do you offer?

We only offer standard, predetermined sizes for our custom feather banners. Our standard sizing is different for each product. For our custom blade flags we offer heights of: XXsmall - 4.1’, Xsmall – 5.9’, Small - 8.2’, Medium - 10.2’, Large - 13.5’, and Xlarge - 17.1’.

Can I interchange pole sets for different feather and teardrop flags?

No, each size flagpole is designed to just fit one size of flag as listed on the product pages.

Will my design cover the whole feather banner or just a section?

Due to the high quality of our fabric, your design can cover the whole entire flag. This is different from almost all of our competitors, who’s feather flags feature an unsightly 2.5 inch black strip up the seam due to their cheap flag fabrics.

Can I order hardware without the flag and vice versa?

Yes! You can order just the flag, and you can order just the hardware if that is all you need. We offer all harware including pole kits, bases, bags and cases, as well as weights and accessories. If you would just like the custom flag banners and not the hardware, you can make that choice when you are configuring your product.

Do they have matte or glossy finishes?

Our custom feather signs have a matte finish. Matte is best for outdoor applications in bright conditions.

What is the difference between double sided and single reverse print options?

Single-reverse and double-sided options refer to the print style. Single-reverse, also referred to as single sided feather banners, involves printing on one side and bleeding the printed ink through to the other side. It creates a reverse of the image on the other side. Double-sided feather banners involve printing two separate prints and combining them with a piece of fabric in between to prevent any transparency. It costs extra for double sided printing, but produces a higher quality and more visible result than single-reverse flutter flags.

What is the difference between your base options?

We offer an array of base options. Each of our custom feather banners include a Standard Ground Stake for free in your order. Other options include a rotating ground screw, which rotates your feather flag banners in the wind. We offer multiple styles of cross stands in different sizes and different weight bag options. We also offer a variety of different accessories and base plates in multiple sizes and weights.

What do you fill the weight bag with? And how much does it weight when full?

We offer multiple weight bags to use with our custom feather banners – all of which can be filled with either water or sand for indoor and outdoor use. All available weight options range from 26lbs to 102lbs when filled.

Does every flag order come with a carry bag for free?

Yes! Every order comes with a free complementary carry bag for your pole sets.

Can I use pole sets from another company with your flags?

We do not recommend using another company's flag pole sets with our feather banners or vice versa. Our hardware and flags are designed to work together for a premium, professional appearance. Cheap feather flags provided by other vendors can rip or tear quickly and are not designed for long term display.

What other custom products do people use with feather flags?

In addition to a feather flag, many businesses use custom pop up tents, tablecloths, and most importantly, backdrop banners stands for further branding at trade shows. Start designing a step and repeat banner for your vendor booth.
