17ft Bowhead Banners

Our banner poles normally last anywhere between 3 to 10 years, while flags can last from 1-3 years, depending on how well you take care of them, the UV exposure and local climate. We recommend refreshing your design and fabric banners when you need the flags to look fresh again.

The terms Bowhead Banners and Bow Flags are interchangeable. Feather Banners however have a more streamlined feather bottom shape. While bowhead banners are similar to feather banners, they differ by having 3 different bottom shapes to choose from.

We’ll print to the very edge to achieve a “wide-screen” effect, except for one-day printing, where the pole pockets portion will be covered by black or white canvas for speed production. Please check our printing techniques for more about how the feather banner design process works.

Each feather banner pole is designed to support one single-sized feather banner. A large banner pole is thicker and will not accommodate a small or medium banner, and vice versa. Make sure you match the size of your feather banner with the correct pole size. Let us know if you have questions or need to order extra banners or replacement poles.

On the back of a single-sided banner, you will see a mirror image with about 70% opacity from the main side. We only recommend utilizing both sides of a single-sided banner for symmetrical objects that look the same in the mirror image.

Due to UV exposure, fabric banner colors will eventually fade. It depends majorly on the UV exposure of your area, and the colours on the banner, specifically darker colours like black, deep red, and dark blue backgrounds, will fade faster than designs with lighter colours. White, light blue, and yellow don’t fade in the sun as quickly. For more detailed info, please check click here .

Great question! The two are very similar other than the bottom shapes. While feather banners have beautiful streamlined bottom shape like feathers, the bowhead has angled, straight and concave bottom options.

Though our banners are highly resistant to heat, most of our polyester products will melt and burn if they come in contact with flames. We recommend keeping all of your feather banners away from sparks or flames. Click here, for more information about our fabric certifications.

Yes! You can choose to design one side or both so that the sides are the same or both sides are different. Be sure to select the Double Sided Printing (3 Layers) options when you select product options.
