Flying Flag Banners

No! Simply keep your base and order a new replacement flag skin that can be installed.

This depends on what is going on the flag.

The feather shape draws attention from its movement in the wind. It’s best to use it for brand awareness such as logos and simple messaging which is easy to read if it’s moving. We find feather flags are most effective when a few of them are fluttering in the breeze next to each other, making them impossible to miss.

The teardrop shape offers a focal point for your logo, increasing awareness of your brand. Since the material stays taut at all times, the message is always clear to read. The hanging shape has a larger surface area to hold a more detailed message. It can flutter slightly in the bottom corner which hangs loosely but also keeps its shape with help from the horizontal bar along the top.

Large banners are recommended for wide-open spaces where it needs to be seen from a distance, such as on the beach at lifesaving events. As they are very tall, we suggest single side printing to keep it lightweight – double-sided is quite heavy which can cause the flag to droop or lean over.

Medium banners are the most popular size, and at 3.5m tall they are well placed to capture attention above a cluttered crowd level or be seen from a moderate distance.

Small banners are slightly taller than a standing person, with a height of just over 2m. They are great for placement in non-crowded areas or can be mounted to a wall or marquee for extra height.

The plate base is heavier which makes it more stable, but please consider transport when making your decision.

The cross base is lighter and folds up and fits inside the banner carry bag making it easy to transport. Extra weights (water weight or black heavyweights) are recommended for use with a cross base.

One is 10.5kg, which is suitable for use with all banner sizes. The other one is smaller and weighs 5kg which is only recommended for use with small banners.

If a cross base is being used outdoors, the banner can blow over in a breeze so we suggest using either water weight or a few black heavyweights unless it is placed in an area protected from the wind. Plate bases have enough weight to hold the banner up outdoors, but it’s a good idea to use a few black heavyweights for extra stability if the wind becomes stronger.

Our single-sided banners are made in a 130gsm knitted fabric and our double-sided banners are made with two layers of 74gsm silk polyester and a silver light-blocker in-between them.

Our Glossy banners are made in a 130gsm knitted fabric with special technology to make them very shiny. When printed, the material is saturated with ink which creates a strong 100% show-through on the other side. The technicalities in printing on the glossy fabric mean that they are more suited to a simple logo, line and word artwork as opposed to detailed photographic designs.

Single-Sided is best for feather banners as it is light enough to be affected by the slightest breeze, causing it to flutter and capture attention. The objective here is to attract attention, so it’s best to use it for brand awareness and keep the message simple and easy to read in the continual movement.

Double-sided is made up of 3 layers – one printed layer on each side and a light-blocking material between the two (to prevent show-through). This makes it quite heavy, which can sometimes look a bit droopy on a feather banner if there is no wind to make it flutter. If using double-sided printed we recommend the teardrop shape as it remains taut at all times and drooping is not an issue. 

Single-sided flags are approximately 40% visible on the reverse side, which is naturally a mirror image.

These are used to secure the printed flag to the banner pole. Thread the elastic cord through the eyelets and wrap it around the teeth on the pole fitting, before tying a knot. Be careful not to pull too tight, as you will notice the banner shape-changing according to the tension.

Our poles are made up of two or three lengths of high-quality fibreglass rods which plug into each other to create one long pole (much like a camp tent pole). Simply pull them apart at the joins and place them in the handy carry bag which protects your investment in transit and storage.

We use high-quality inks imported from Italy to ensure that the banners do not fade quickly, but this is heavily dependent on a number of factors, including where it is used and how often it is exposed to the elements. In our harsh Australian climate, if the banner is used daily it will probably need replacing after 3-4 months. Used intermittently they can last 3-5 years.

Flying flag banners are used for outdoor advertising, promotional events, and branding. They are designed to grab attention and are popular at exhibitions, markets, and high-traffic areas like business events or trade shows.

Flying flag banners enhance outdoor advertising by providing eye-catching visuals that attract attention in high-traffic areas. Their vibrant colours, customisable designs, and easy-to-spot height make them ideal for maximising brand exposure.

Flying flag banners are typically made from durable, weather-resistant fabric like polyester. The poles are crafted from lightweight yet strong materials, often aluminium or fibreglass, ensuring both durability and portability.

Flying flag banners are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including wind and rain. Their poles are engineered with ball-bearing mechanisms, allowing the banners to swivel with the wind, preventing tangling and damage.
