Advertising Flags

Absolutely! Not only do we offer four different types of flags in terms of shape but they also come in various sizes. Further, you can choose from our library of templates or upload your design to create a unique business flag. If you need help with a design or would like us to design something for you please take advantage of our free design services.

Yes, it is possible to purchase multiple flag types with the same design. However, the shape of each flag type differs and the design for each flag may need to changed slightly to fit each shape. In order to get the design on multiple flag types you’ll need to upload your logo or design to the design tool for each flag type.

Not at the current time. Though we continually look to add new products including business and advertising signs. If you have any questions or are looking for a specific flag type that isn’t offered on this page, please contact us.

All our flags are easily disassembled just as simply as they are installed. You can easily disassemble the pole set and fold the flag for storage and transportation in just a couple of minutes. The pole sets of angled, feather and teardrop flags simply slide into and out of one another while the rectangular pole set is put together and taken apart with push buttons that click into place.

The best option for transportation is to disassemble the flag by separating each pole in the pole set by pulling them apart and placing each pole into a carrying case. The angled, teardrop and feather flags have a carrying case available for an optional purchase. The rectangle flags don’t currently have an optional carrying case. As such, the poles are most easily transported by gym bags long enough to fit the poles of your pole set or using bungee cords or something similar to hold the pole set together. The flags themselves can be folded and carefully placed within whichever bag you may be using to transport your flag and pole set. Take care not to allow the poles to damage your folded flag during transport!

Depending on how many flags you have you may prefer having an extra set of hands to help assemble them quicker. However, all of our flags are easily assembled and can be set up by one person in a matter of minutes.

Please note that ground stake installations may require a rubber mallet especially if the surface is harder. Further, the cross base with water bag will of course require access to a water source in order to fill it and use it correctly to weigh your flag down. Lastly, as a pro tip from a company that has set up a flag or two, for the push buttons on the rectangle flags a flat object to press down spring loaded snap buttons connecting two poles sometimes can spare the fingers some pressure. For example, a butter or pocket knife or even a key can sometimes get a stubborn push button down and help avoid pinched fingers. Notwithstanding, all of these flags are extremely easy to set up!

Unfortunately we do not currently sell the pole set or replaceable hardware for any of the four flag types as standalone items online. If you need either please contact us at support@signs.com or 888-222-4929 so we can help you get either one of those ordered.

Yes, we sell each of our flags as standalone items. You don’t have to buy a pole set or any accessories when purchasing a flag. To get just a flag, regardless of which type, simply make sure that none of the options are selected on the design tool. The options appear underneath the editing area. You can also verify this in your cart before proceeding to the checkout page. Please note that even with the same type of flag poles sets differ. Thus, if you are ordering just a replacement flag it must be the same size AND type of your previous flag to ensure that your current pole set will work with the replacement flag. Alternatively, assuming you know it is the same type and size and if your old pole set is in good condition then you can simply use a previously ordered pole set. If you are unsure, please contact us and we are happy to help.

Our professional designers will help you create your design as quickly as they can. This wait for your first revision will never be more than one business day but is typically much faster. Many of our customers contact us, have a free design and checkout all on the same day! Assuming that you give the designer a good idea of what you are trying to do we’re confident that you’ll be completely happy in very little time.

The answer to this question can be quite complicated. If you are going to do it correctly there are complex formulas that factor in car speed, number of lanes, reaction time of the driver and much, much more. For our purposes there are a few factors that you should consider and some rules of thumb to follow and your sign should be perfectly legible without worrying about the complex formulas that are out there. The most important factors that will impact your flag’s legibility to consider are: the distance from the road and lettering height, the size of the flag, and the design of your flag. Let’s tackle each of these individually.

For most businesses it’s safe to assume that your roadside flag will be within 10-40 feet of vehicle passersby. Some rules of thumb suggest your lettering be 1” of height for every 10 feet. Others, recommend lettering height anywhere from 4”-10” for distances ranging from 10ft - 40ft. Thus, with flags that are presumably within 20 or 30 feet of the road if your lettering is anywhere from 3”-6” high you should be safe in terms of legibility. The next factor is the size of the flag itself. The importance of this factor is because of the point above. Namely, you want to ensure you have enough space on your flag to display the letters at the correct heights. If in doubt, the bigger the flag the better.

The design of your flag impacts it’s legibility in at least two ways. The first is the font type or appearance of the font you choose to use. While your lettering height should meet certain minimums as described above, fonts themselves vary in legibility. Simply put, cursive fonts are much harder to read than block-type fonts. We recommend easy-to-read fonts in all cases. The other important consideration is contrast. Contrasting colors between your text color and flag color will significantly increase its legibility. For example, black and yellow are known to be some of the most contrasting colors whereas a pink font on a red flag is going to be harder to read.

If you keep these few things in mind when designing and purchasing your flag you can rest assured that all those that pass by it will be able to clearly and quickly read it. If you’re still needing help and unsure whether your flag will be legible don’t hesitate to contact us about our free design services.

For each of our three flag types there are three different measurements that come into play. These are: display height, flag height or size and printable area.

Yes! The graphic shown above accurately shows the flag sizes and heights. These flags are intended to be very big and very visible.

There are a lot of commonly used names for what is essentially the same flag product. Typically the names are interchangeable between similarly shaped flags. To point, some commonly used flag names in addition to feather, angled, teardrop, and rectangle flags that you may have heard of or seen are flutter flags, blade flags, sail flags, event flags, swooper flags, bow flags, tall flags, and quill flags.

Each of these names may or may not be synonymous with feather, angled, teardrop, or rectangle flags. As much as we’d like to definitively attach them to a flag type or shape, the truth is that companies and people oftentimes will use different terms for the same type of business flag. Thus, rather than focusing on the names of the type of flag you are after, be sure to check for the shape of the flag to determine the flag type. If you don’t see the shape you’re looking for please contact us to see if we are still able to offer it but don’t simply have it online yet?

Advertising flags and business flags are the same product and the terms are commonly used to refer to the same thing. These flags are primarily used outside and are some of the biggest and most visible signage you can buy short of extremely large vinyl banners or billboards. Standard flags are what you would see on a flag pole, like the United States flag. For more information about standard flags, click here: custom flags.
