Blade Flags

The blade flag is the tall, narrow one — a straight leading edge with a gently angled top, so it holds a clean vertical shape rather than tapering away. It takes up very little ground space, which makes it the one to reach for on a pavement, a narrow forecourt, a market pitch or an exhibition aisle where a feather flag would be in the way.

• Small size — our most affordable flag
• Dye-sublimation printed polyester, so the colour goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it
• Single-sided facing right, single-sided facing left, or double-sided
• Double-sided is two layers with a block-out membrane between them, so neither side shows through the other
• Collapsible pole set and carry bag included
• Free collection from our Winfrith unit, or tracked UK delivery
• Free prepress check on every order

Bases are ordered separately — see Flag Bases & Fixings for a ground spike or wall mount. Which one you need depends on whether you are going into soft ground or onto hard standing, so if you are not sure, tell us where it is going and we will specify it with the flag.

Which way does it face? A single-sided flag reads correctly from one side only; from behind you see the design reversed and faded through the fabric. Pick facing right or facing left to suit the direction people approach from. If it has to read properly from both directions, go double-sided.

Honest expectations: these are a marketing item, not a permanent structure. Take them down in strong wind, and in constant outdoor use expect a season or so before the colour and fabric start to go.

Artwork: print-ready PDF, CMYK, 300dpi at final size, fonts outlined or embedded. The shape is not a rectangle and the pole sleeve runs down the leading edge, so anything built to a plain rectangle will be cut through. Ask us for the blade flag template before you start — we have them in PDF, Illustrator, InDesign and EPS. The blade is a narrow shape, so keep the design simple: a logo, a few words, a strong background colour. Small type will not read from across a car park.
