Custom Flags
Body Flags
Body flags, also known as cape or spirit flags, are wearable custom-printed banners designed for team pride, event promotion, and public display. Constructed with two sewn sleeves and arm holes, they fit over the shoulders like a jacket and flow like a cape when worn. Printed on 100D polyester or 110g knit polyester using digital full colour printing, they are durable, weather resistant, and maintain colour integrity over time. Available in standard sizes 2ft x 3ft for children and 3ft x 5ft for adults, custom sizes are also possible. The flag features hemmed edges and single-sided printing, with PMS colour matching for brand consistency.
Key Benefits
- Wearable design with sewn arm holes allows comfortable all-day wear for staff, fans and event crews
- Flows like a cape when moving, making the graphic highly visible in crowds and parades
- Digital full colour printing with no plate charge enables one-off or small runs without setup cost
- PMS colour matching ensures consistent branding across reorders and events
- Single-sided print with hemmed edges keeps the design clean and prevents fraying
- Available in standard adult and child sizes, with custom sizes available on request
- Durable 100D polyester and 110g knit polyester materials resist fading and outdoor conditions
Problems It Solves
- Traditional banners cannot be worn or moved through crowds, limiting visibility at events
- Screen printing requires plates, making small runs uneconomical and slow to produce
- Lack of proper fit in standard-sized flags leads to poor wearability and short use life
- Colours fade or shift between reorders, breaking brand consistency across events
- No built-in arm holes mean flags must be held or taped, which is impractical for long events
- Unfinished edges on fabric flags fray quickly, reducing lifespan and professional appearance
Who It Is For

- Sign and graphics shops offering custom wearable flags as a complementary product
- Event and trade-show agencies needing branded staff wear for large-scale activations
- Sports clubs and school teams reordering the same artwork for seasonal events

Body Flags Buyer Questions
Do you have a minimum order quantity for body flags?
No. Digital printing requires no plate, so we accept orders from 1 piece. Small runs are ideal for pre-production samples or long-term accounts, though per-unit cost is higher than bulk orders.
Can I get a custom size for body flags?
Yes. While 2ft x 3ft and 3ft x 5ft are standard sizes, we can make body flags in any size to fit your team or group.
What artwork formats do you accept?
We accept AI, EPS, PDF, CDR, PSD, and TIF. AI and PDF are recommended for best results. Our designers can help prepare or fix your file at no charge.
Can you match our brand colour?
Yes. Provide the PMS reference and we will colour match it to ensure your body flags align with your brand standard.
Is the print on both sides?
No. The print is single-sided with hemmed edges. The reverse side is plain fabric, which keeps the design clean and reduces cost.
How do I wear the body flag?
Slide your arms through the two sewn sleeves. The flag will hang across your chest and back like a cape, flowing as you move.
How are they shipped?
We ship via UPS, FedEx, DHL or TNT for express delivery. For bulk orders, consolidated shipping options are available. Tracking details are emailed as soon as the shipment is dispatched.
