Beach Flags
Feather Flags
Feather flags put a tall printed shape on a kerb, a beach or a trade-show aisle and keep it readable when there is no wind at all. The sleeve slides over a sectional pole that holds the fabric open, so the graphic stays visible instead of hanging limp the way a rope-and-pole flag does. Siming Displays prints them on 110g knit polyester by dye sublimation, matches PMS colours from your artwork, and ships the flag, pole, base, water bag and carrying bag as one packed set. Sizes run 67 x 209cm, 75 x 315cm and 80 x 420cm, giving finished heights of 240cm, 350cm and 480cm.
Key Benefits
- Sleeve-and-pole construction keeps the graphic open and readable on a still day
- Ships as a complete set with flag pole base water bag and carrying bag
- Single reverse keeps cost down double sided with block-out liner reads correctly on both faces
- Four bottom shapes convex concave angled and straight suit different frontages
- Digital full colour printing needs no plate so one flag costs the same to set up as fifty
- PMS colour matching holds a brand colour across reorders
- Folded into a black carrying bag with its hardware so field staff can set up unaided
Problems It Solves
- Conventional flags collapse against the pole with no wind and the message disappears
- Screen printing needs plates which makes a short custom run uneconomic
- Reverse-reading text on the back of a single-layer flag looks unfinished to the end client
- Loose poles and bases bought separately arrive short and delay an event
- Colour drift between reorders forces a distributor to explain a mismatch to their client
Who It Is For
- Promotional product distributors reselling outdoor advertising to local accounts
- Sign and graphics shops that print flat stock but outsource sewn textile work
- Event and trade-show agencies kitting out multiple stands to one deadline
- Franchise and dealership marketing teams reordering the same artwork every season
- Sports clubs and race organisers marking a course for one weekend

Comparison
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Teardrop flags | Feather flags carry more vertical copy; teardrops hold their shape better in strong wind |
|---|---|
| Rectangular flags on a pole | Feather flags stay readable with no wind, rectangular flags need air movement to open |
| Retractable banner stands | Feather flags are built for outdoors, banner stands are for indoor carpeted stands |
| Single reverse print | Double sided costs more and adds weight but removes mirrored text on the back |
Feather Flags Buyer Questions
Do you have a minimum order quantity for feather flags?
No. Digital printing needs no plate, so we can run from 1 pc. A single flag makes sense as a pre-production sample or for a long-term account; for a one-off order the per-unit cost is higher than a bulk run.
What is the difference between single reverse and double sided?
Single reverse prints on one face and the text reads mirrored from the back. Double sided is a three-layer build with a block-out liner between two printed faces, so the artwork reads correctly from both sides.
Which pole should I choose?
We offer common aluminium plus fibreglass sectional poles and fully fibreglass poles. We recommend fully fibreglass, they are more durable through repeated setup and takedown.
What artwork do you need?
Vector art is the standard: AI, EPS, PDF or CDR with fonts outlined. A high-resolution JPEG, BMP, GIF or PSD at the right size also works. Our designers can prepare or fix the file for you at no charge.
Can you match our brand colour?
Yes. Give us the PMS reference and we colour match to it, which keeps the flag consistent with the rest of your campaign and across reorders.
What is included in a complete set?
Flag, flag pole, base, water bag and carrying bag. The flag is folded with its hardware into the black carrying bag.
How are they shipped?
By UPS, FedEx, DHL or TNT express for rush orders, with slower consolidated options for bulk. We email the tracking number as soon as we have it.
