Feather Banners

Our banner poles last anywhere between 3-10 years, while flags could last from 1-3 years, depending on how well you take care of them. We recommend refreshing your design and banner ever year or every year and a half.

Great question! Flag banners are a more generalized term. No matter the shapes, Feather banners, teardrop banners, bowhead banners, and rectangular flag banners all fall into this big category. While feather banners have a beautiful streamlined bottom shape like feathers, the bowhead has angled, straight, and concave bottom options. A Teardrop banner is a unique flag banner with a distinctive teardrop shape. Bowhead banners are similar to feather banners but have 3 different bottom shapes.

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.

If you choose to print a single-sided feather banner, please know that to save you time and money, the design is bled through rather than printed on the backside. This means that though you can see the design on the other side, it will be mirrored, and the text is not readable. If you want the same message to appear perfectly on both sides, you must select the double-sided option.

We provide a range of base options for feather banners so that your advertisement can be displayed anywhere your customers will see it! Some of the popular base options that we provide include:

A. Ground Spike

A ground spike can be used to plant the feather banner in grass, dirt, or soft ground. It is perfect for any outdoor location. Best of all, we provide you with a 30” ground spike, absolutely FREE, with every feather banner purchase. The ground spike is easy to install; all you need to do is hammer the spike into the ground until it is secure. H hammer the spike past the loose soil layer to keep the feather banner from tipping over.

B. Cross bases with Water Bag

These bases work best on flat and hard surfaces, and they are ideal for indoor use. The Water bags used to hold these down can be inflated when in use. When it is filled, it provides support for about 15 pounds.

C. Heavy Duty Flat-base

Our heavy-duty flat base weighs around 16lbs, so it will keep your feather banner in place, even in strong winds. These bases sit flat on the floor for minimal visibility and do not ruin the look of your advertisement like some bulkier bases do.

D. Cross-Base with ground nails

The Heavy-duty cross-base with ground nails is perfect for use outdoors. It is made from galvanized steel to ensure strong support in all weather conditions.

These flags are the smallest offered on the market. Due to their size, they are highly portable and easy to travel with. They are also great for displaying indoors or in small spaces.

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 .

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.

Poles and Accessories: The best feather banners start with commercial full fiberglass poles, which are the most durable and flexible on the market for a perfect feather shape presentation.

Printing material: Our feather flag banners are made of outdoor treated polyester fabric that is at least 4oz thick, so they can vividly last 12 months or longer outdoors. Cheap feather banners are made of nylon or thinner fabric and will be worn after a fairly short amount of time, lasting only several months.

Reinforced finishings: The best banners that we make come with pole pockets & tips that are reinforced with oxford cloth or leather strips to improve longevity.

Printing Resolution and Quality: The best ones are digitally printed edge to edge at 720 dpi, bringing out a wide-screen effect. Cheaper banners are made using silk screening and come with a pre-made black or white sleeve. The feather flag banner graphic area will be narrower compared to the best ones.
