Well-designed custom feather flags are an advertising dream.
They offer unmatched flexibility, eye-catching design, and vibrant graphics, all of which allow them to command attention and draw in potential customers in a way that other types of outdoor advertising simply can’t.
Let’s take a closer look at these whimsical wonders and find out how a feather flag can take your business to new (feathery) heights!
Custom feather banners have so many uses that it’s hard to imagine any event not having at least one!
Choices, Choices: What Types of Outdoor Signs are Out There Today?
Outdoor signs come in various types, each suited for different purposes and environments. Here’s a breakdown of the options available and why feather flags stand out as the best choice for outdoor advertising:
Banners: Versatile and durable, banners can be hung virtually anywhere and come in various sizes. While they offer flexibility, they lack the dynamic presence of feather flags.
Aluminum Signs: Ideal for outdoor use, aluminum signs are sturdy and commonly used in parking lots or as warning signs. However, they lack the mobility and eye-catching appeal of feather flags.
Flags: Feather flags, including spirit flags and standard flags, are excellent for outdoor advertising, drawing attention to businesses and events. While they may be less durable than banners, their vibrant designs and movement in the wind make them highly effective.
Yard Signs: Cost-effective and lightweight, yard signs are great for political campaigns and outdoor advertising in large quantities. However, they lack the visual impact and versatility of feather flags.
Rigid Plastic Signs: Similar to yard signs but more durable, rigid plastic signs are suitable for various outdoor applications. While they offer longevity, they may not grab attention as effectively as feather flags.
Backlit Signs: With adhesive vinyl placed on internally lit lightboxes, backlit signs are great for nighttime advertising. However, they lack the portability and affordability of feather flags.
A-Frames: Also known as sidewalk signs, A-frames direct traffic to businesses but may not be as attention-grabbing as feather flags. While they offer stability, they lack the height and visibility of feather flags.
High Adhesive Decals: Extremely durable and versatile, high adhesive decals can stick to various surfaces. However, they lack the mobility and impact of feather flags.
Window Decals: Suitable for storefronts and restaurants, window decals come in various designs but may not attract attention as effectively as feather flags. While they offer customization, they lack the visibility of feather flags.
Pop-Up Tents: Providing both shade and advertising space, pop-up tents are useful for outdoor events. However, they require more space and are less portable than feather flags.
While each outdoor sign type has its advantages, feather flags stand out for their mobility, vibrant designs, and ability to attract attention in any outdoor setting.
And with our customizable options at Easy Signs, feather flags are the perfect choice for businesses looking to make a big impact with their outdoor advertising efforts.
What’s in a Name? Understanding the Design Elements of Feather Flags
Feather flags, also sometimes known as teardrop flags, banner flags, or blade flags, are an exceptional advertising tool due to their unique design and style.
Not only are they easy to create but their longevity and feather-like look make them a conversation piece as well as an ideal way to promote an event or entice potential customers into your space.
Choosing Your Feather Flag Style
Before doing anything else, you need to decide whether you want your custom feather banners to be printed as single sided feather flags or double sided feather flags.
Single Sided Flags (Mirror Reverse): With this option, the custom feather flag design is printed onto one piece of fabric, allowing the ink to bleed through and appear as a mirror image on the reverse side.
While this option is more cost-effective, the colors may appear less vibrant on the back of the fabric.
Double Sided Flags (Blockout): This slightly more expensive option involves printing two separate pieces of blockout fabric from different files for the front and back of the banner.
The Signweave™ Blockout Fabric used at Easy Signs ensures that the printed image on the reverse side will not show through.
The two pieces of fabric are then carefully sewn together, resulting in a double-sided flag where the design appears correctly from both sides. This ensures that your message is visible regardless of the wind direction.
Choosing Your Feather Flag Size
Choosing the right size for your feather flag is crucial to ensure maximum visibility and impact. Consider factors such as the location where the flag will be displayed, the distance from which it needs to be seen, and any surrounding objects or structures that could obstruct the view.
Larger open feather flags may be more suitable for open spaces (concerts and sporting events) where there is going to be a lot of foot traffic, while a smaller flag could be ideal for indoor use or areas with limited space.
Ultimately, selecting the appropriate size will help optimize the effectiveness of your feather flag as a promotional tool.
Choosing Your Feather Flag Material
When choosing your feather flag kit, make sure you choose a company that uses premium flag material, no matter which option you choose.
At Easy Signs, all of our advertising flags are crafted from high-quality SignWeave™ polyester fabric material, known for its weather resistance.
Single-sided custom flags are printed on 3.5 oz. SignWeave™ material, while double-sided flags consist of two layers of 4.3 oz. SignWeave™ material, with a block-out layer on the back. This blockout material prevents sunlight from bleeding through, ensuring that the graphic remains vibrant on both sides.
A Little TLC Goes a Long Way: How to Care for Your Feather Flags
One of the unique aspects of outdoor advertising signage is the fact that it must be clear enough to gain attention and durable enough to withstand the elements.
These are both areas in which a properly installed and cared-for feather banner can not only make a big impact but also make it last for a long period of time.
Feather flags may be inexpensive…but they are not cheap. A well-crafted feather flag will last for years if it’s maintained and treated with a little TLC.
Here’s a detailed guide on how to set up and care for your feather flags:
-
Setting Up and Installing Your Feather Flag:
- ✓Assembling the Pole Kit: Unpack the poles and assemble the flagpole by joining the separate pole pieces together from largest to smallest. Insert one end of the poles into the other and push them together firmly.
- ✓Attaching the Flag: Insert the top of the pole (the smallest section) into the bottom rod pocket of the banner. Push the pole all the way through the rod pocket until it reaches the reinforced section at the end. Ensure the tip of the pole remains in this reinforced section to prevent damage to the banner.
- ✓Shaping the Flag: Pull the banner all the way down the pole while pushing the pole into the banner. The top of the pole will start to bend, forming the full “feather” shape. Continue pushing the pole and pulling the banner until the pole is fully bent, and the banner is secure.
- ✓Securing the Flag: Follow the Flag Tensioning Guide to ensure the flag is securely attached to the flag pole.
- ✓Placing the Base: Position the flag base in the desired location, then insert the bottom of the pole into the spindle on the base. Your feather flag is now set up and ready to use.

Setting Up and Installing Your Feather Flag:
- ✓Removing Creases: Feather flags may arrive folded with creases. These creases should naturally smooth out over time when used outdoors. To expedite the process, use a steamer or a warm iron with an ironing cloth between the banner and the iron.
- ✓Cleaning: If your feather flag gets dirty, clean it using cold water and a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, you can wash it in a washing machine using a cold wash on a gentle cycle without any detergents or bleach.
- ✓Extreme Weather Precautions: While feather flags are durable and designed for outdoor use, it’s best to avoid using them during extreme weather conditions to prevent any possible damage.
By following these installation and care tips, you can ensure that your feather flags remain in excellent condition and continue to effectively promote your business for a long time.
