Custom Feather Flags: Outdoor Advertising That Moves With the Wind

Common Questions About Buying Custom Feather Flags

What material are Banners.com feather flags printed on?

Our feather flags are printed on a durable knitted polyester fabric that is lightweight, weather-resistant, and designed for repeated outdoor use. The material allows wind to pass through the flag naturally, reducing stress on the pole and helping the flag move and catch attention even in light breezes. Colors are printed with vibrant dye-sublimation inks that resist fading under UV exposure.

How tall are the feather flags and which size should I choose?

We offer feathered flags in four heights: 7 foot (17.25" x 61.75" printed area), 9 foot (26.5" x 78.1"), 13 foot (29.5" x 124"), and 17 foot (33.5" x 173.5"). For storefront use or tight indoor spaces, the 7 or 9 foot flag works well. For parking lots, busy roadways, or open outdoor venues, the 13 or 17 foot flags deliver the height needed to be seen from a distance. Total standing height includes the pole assembly, so the printed banner height is slightly shorter than the named size.

Can I use feather flags in rain or high winds?

Yes. Feather flags are built for outdoor use. The knitted polyester material is water-resistant and dries quickly after rain. In high winds, the feather shape and flexible pole system are designed to bend rather than break. That said, we recommend taking flags down during severe storms or sustained high-wind conditions to extend their lifespan. Proper stake ground spikes or weighted bases also help maintain stability.

What hardware comes with the feather flags and what do I need to set one up?

Each flag can be ordered as flag-only (if you already own compatible hardware) or as a complete package including the pole hardware. The 7 foot pole hardware package adds $39, the 13 foot adds $54.60, and the 17 foot adds $70.20. Pole hardware typically includes a sectional fiberglass or aluminum pole, a ground stake, and all connecting hardware. You can also add optional base options for hard surfaces like concrete or pavement. The flag itself slides onto the pole via a pole pocket, available in black or white to match your design.

Can I print my own design on a feather flag?

Absolutely. Every feather flag we produce is custom-printed with your artwork. You can upload a finished design file, or use the artwork tools and templates available on our site. We accept high-resolution files and provide templates sized to each flag's specific dimensions. Both single-sided and double-sided printing are available. Double-sided flags show artwork on both faces and are ideal for locations where foot traffic or vehicles approach from multiple directions. Double-sided printing adds $65 to the order.

How fast will my feather flags be produced and shipped?

Standard production is 3 business days after your artwork is approved. Express production (2 business days). Saver production (5 business days) reduces cost slightly. Note that orders submitted after 5pm CST are processed the following business day. Production time does not include shipping transit. We ship via FedEx and UPS, so you can estimate total arrival time by adding your selected transit days to production time.

How do I store feather flags between uses so they last longer?

Let the flag dry completely before storing it to prevent mildew. Fold or roll the flag loosely and keep it in a clean bag or the carry case that may come with your hardware kit. Store poles in sections and avoid leaving hardware exposed to moisture for extended periods. With proper care and storage, a quality feather flag can be reused across multiple seasons and events.
