Feather, drop or rectangular — which promotional flag for my use?
The shape is a matter of taste: feather, drop and rectangular do the same job. What matters is the size — first the space you have (a 3 m ceiling rules out a 4 m flag), then how far it must be seen from. A promotional flag is a set of three parts: flag, its own pole, a base.
Promotional flags are advertising devices — cousins of the roll-up — that happen to be made of fabric. Unlike a classic flag, which goes on any existing flagpole, wall or stick, a promotional flag works only as a set: the flag, the pole made for it, and a base.
Which size
| Indoors | measure the ceiling first. |
|---|---|
| Beside a road | the biggest your budget allows: cars at 80 km/h need a flag they can read. |
| A fair or a crowded event | tall enough to stand above people's heads, so they can find you. |
| A corner in a shop, an island in a store | a small one is enough: it colours and brands the spot from close by. |
The mounted height is always more than the flag itself, because the lower part of the pole stays free.
What is in the box
What you configure on the product page: the flag, the pole (a bag of aluminium and fibreglass tubes that slide into one another like a fishing rod) if you select it, and every base or accessory you tick. You can tick more than one base to use the same flag in different places.
Left or right
The sleeve — the wide strip of elastic fabric that follows the flag's curve and slides over the pole — can be sewn on the left or on the right of the design, and on some products it can be white, black or printed with the design. Our convention: the pole on the left of the design is «left». The flag hooks to the knob on the pole and is tensioned by hand — enough for the pole to bend and follow the flag, not so much that it looks ugly.
A different design on the front and the back is not available online today; if you need it, ask through your request in My account → Support.
