Custom Flags
Custom Flags
Custom flags deliver bold, visible branding indoors or outdoors, with a long history as a symbol of identity and spirit. Siming Displays prints them on 110g knit polyester using digital full colour or silk-screen methods, matches PMS colours, and offers multiple finishing options. Standard sizes include 12in X 18in, 16in X 24in, 2ft X 3ft, 3ft X 5ft, 4ft X 6ft, 5ft X 8ft, 6ft X 10ft, 10ft X 15ft, and custom sizes. The most frequently purchased size is 3ft X 5ft, with 5ft X 8ft also popular. Flags are available in single reverse or double sided with block-out liner, and can be finished with fabric pole sleeve, heading with grommets, rope ties, D-rings, or rope & thimble.
Key Benefits
- Digital printing allows no minimum order quantity and no setup charges, ideal for short runs
- PMS colour matching ensures brand consistency across reorders and campaigns
- Single reverse flags are cost-effective and durable for outdoor use, moving easily in light wind
- Double sided flags with block-out liner read correctly on both faces, suitable for high-visibility placements
- Multiple finishing options let you adapt the flag to poles, ropes, or mounting systems
- No plate charges for digital printing mean one flag costs the same to set up as fifty
- In-house designers help prepare or repair artwork at no charge, reducing your prep time
Problems It Solves
- Conventional flags with no wind hang limp and lose visibility, but our single reverse design flows easily
- Screen printing requires plates and setup fees, making short runs uneconomic; digital avoids this
- Single-sided flags show mirrored text on the back, which looks unprofessional to clients
- Loose hardware or missing poles arrive late, delaying setup; we include all components
- Colour drift between reorders forces explanations to clients; PMS matching prevents this
Who It Is For
- Promotional product distributors reselling custom flags to local businesses
- Print brokers handling small runs with no plate cost or setup delay
- Sign and graphics shops outsourcing sewn textile work while keeping digital control
- Event and trade-show agencies needing fast turnaround for multiple locations
- Sports clubs and schools reordering the same artwork for annual events
- Car dealerships and resorts using flags for seasonal promotions and seasonal branding

Custom Flags Buyer Questions
Do you have a minimum order quantity for custom flags?
No. Digital printing requires no plate, so we can run from 1 piece. A single flag is ideal for sampling or a one-off event; per-unit cost is higher than bulk but no setup fee applies.
What is the difference between single reverse and double sided?
Single reverse prints on one face; text reads mirrored on the back. Double sided uses a block-out liner between two printed layers so the artwork reads correctly from both sides.
Which finishing option should I choose?
For pole mounting, use a fabric pole sleeve or grommets. For rope attachment, choose rope ties or D-rings. For ground spikes or heavy wind, rope & thimble with a thimble and rope provides the most secure hold.
Can you match our brand colour?
Yes. Provide the PMS reference and we will colour match it to ensure consistency across all your reorders.
What artwork do you need?
Vector files in AI, EPS, PDF, or CDR with outlined fonts are preferred. High-resolution JPEG, BMP, GIF, or PSD at full size also work. Our designers can fix or prepare your file at no charge.
How long is the lead time?
Digital printing lead time is fast—typically 3 to 5 business days after e-proof approval. Silk-screen printing takes longer due to setup. We confirm lead time when you place the order.
How are the flags shipped?
By UPS, FedEx, DHL, or TNT for express delivery. We also offer consolidated shipping for bulk orders. Tracking is provided as soon as the shipment is dispatched.
