Which flag should you choose?

Three shapes, four sizes, one kit. Tap any option to find out more.

The classic blade shape with a straight trailing edge. It carries the most artwork of the three and reads clearly from the furthest away β€” the UK’s most-searched and most-bought flag style. If in doubt, pick this one.

Best forStorefronts, forecourts, exhibitions, anywhere your logo needs room.

The taut teardrop frame keeps the fabric under tension, so your design stays visible even in completely still air. The safe pick indoors and in sheltered spots where a loose flag would just hang.

Best forIndoor exhibitions, shopping centres, covered entrances, calm forecourts.

The sail silhouette catches every breath of wind and moves more than either of the others β€” and movement is what pulls the eye on a busy street or across a festival field.

Best forOutdoor events, festivals, roadside pitches, anywhere the competition stands still.

2.8m fits under most ceilings and suits shop fronts. 3.4m is the all-rounder for exhibitions and outdoor stands. 4.5m is visible across a festival field or car park. 5.6m is the giant β€” seen from the road, over crowds, everywhere. Outdoors, bigger wins: your flag competes with everything around it.

Rule of thumbIndoors 2.8m Β· forecourt 3.4m Β· event field 4.5m+ Β· roadside 5.6m.

Ground spike screws into grass, soil or sand and holds firm. Square base sits on hard floors indoors. Cross base is the folding X-stand for pavement, tarmac and exhibition halls β€” pack-flat and quick. Water base anchors hard ground outdoors against gusts. If you can’t stab it, weigh it.

Flag printing FAQs

Same kit, same fabric, same price — the only difference is the shape:
  • Feather — the tall straight blade. The biggest print area of the three and the most popular flag shape in the UK.
  • Teardrop — the curved drop. Holds its shape even in dead-still air, so your design always reads.
  • Crest — the curved sail. The most movement in a breeze, and the most eye-catching on a busy street.
Pick your kind, size and base in the configurator above for an instant price.
Four heights, all three shapes:
  • 2.8m — forecourts, shop fronts, indoor events
  • 3.4m — the all-rounder for exhibitions and outdoor stands
  • 4.5m — visible across a festival field or car park
  • 5.6m — the giant. Seen from the road, over crowds, everywhere
Not sure? Bigger wins outdoors — a flag competes with everything around it. Indoors, 2.8m fits under most ceilings.

Match the base to the ground it’s standing on:
  • Ground spike — grass, soil, sand. Screws in, holds firm.
  • Square base — hard floors indoors: exhibition halls, shops, showrooms.
  • Water base — hard ground outdoors. Fill it and it anchors the flag against gusts.
Rule of thumb: if you can’t stab it, weigh it.
Yes. Every flag is printed on 115gsm knitted polyester built for outdoor life, on a flexible fibreglass pole designed to bend rather than snap. With the correct base they handle winds up to 22mph. Above that, do what event crews do: take it down until the gust passes. The flag will outlive the weather — it’s machine washable at 30°C (no detergent) so it comes back clean for the next event.
Everything you need to be flying within minutes of the box arriving:
  • Your custom printed flag — feather, teardrop or crest
  • Fibreglass pole system — strong, flexible, tool-free assembly
  • Your chosen base — spike, square or water
  • A carry bag so it packs down for the next event
No hidden extras, no “pole sold separately” small print.
Standard flags are single sided — the knitted polyester lets the design show through the back in mirror image, which is how the vast majority of event flags are flown. Need a true double-sided flag with a blocker layer so each face reads correctly? Email hello@rapidprintpro.com with your size and quantity and we’ll quote it same day.
Use our template for your size and shape (linked on this page), supply as PDF where possible, and remember a flag is read from metres away — big logo, short message, bold colour beats small print every time. Keep important content away from the pole edge and the outer hem. Sent something that doesn’t fit the template? Send it anyway — a real person checks every file before print and 99% of the time we fix it without even calling you.
Custom printed feather, teardrop and crest advertising flags at an outdoor event, printed in London by Rapid Print Pro
Feather • Teardrop • Crest

Flags that do the shouting for you.

Feather flag, teardrop banner, sail flag, swooper — whatever you call it, we print it in SE1. Three shapes, four heights up to a towering 5.6m, and every kit arrives complete: flag, fibreglass pole, your choice of base and a carry bag.

Your artwork is dye-sublimation printed into 115gsm knitted polyester — the colour is in the fabric, not sat on top — so it stays vibrant through sun, rain and a 30°C machine wash between events. Wind-rated to 22mph with the right base.

3 shapes 2.8m → 5.6m full kit included dye-sub print washable & reusable from £102.40

Three shapes • one right answer

Pick your flag.

Feather Most popular
The tall blade

Straight trailing edge, maximum print area, and the shape the UK searches for most. If in doubt, this is the one — it carries the most artwork and reads clearly from the furthest away.

Best forStorefronts, forecourts, exhibitions, anywhere your logo needs room to breathe.
Teardrop Always readable
The curved drop

The taut teardrop frame holds the fabric in shape even in completely still air, so your design never folds away. The safe pick for indoor events and sheltered spots.

Best forIndoor exhibitions, shopping centres, covered entrances, calm-day forecourts.
Crest Most movement
The curved sail

The sail silhouette catches every breath of wind and moves more than either of the others — and movement is what pulls the eye on a busy street or festival field.

Best forOutdoor events, festivals, roadside pitches, anywhere the competition is standing still.
Ordering a matching set? All three shapes print from the same artwork proportions per size, so a mixed row of feather, teardrop and crest looks deliberate, not accidental. Can’t decide? Ring 020 7078 0380 — a human who prints these every week will pick for you.

Flag artwork rules.

Use the template

Each size and shape has a free template with the print area, pole sleeve and hem marked. Design inside it and your flag comes out exactly as you see it on screen. Templates are linked on this page — grab the one matching your configurator choice.

Try to use PDF

Save as PDF/X-1a:2001 for the cleanest result. Not possible? Don’t sweat it — we accept PNG, JPEG and pretty much anything else, and our artwork team resets every file before print anyway.

Think big

A flag is read from metres away, in motion. One logo, one short message, bold contrasting colour. If you’re squinting at text on your screen at 25% zoom, nobody will read it on a moving flag.

Mind the pole edge

The sleeve edge wraps the pole and the outer edge is hemmed. Keep logos and text well clear of both — the template shows the safe zone. Backgrounds should run right to the edge so nothing shows white.

Resolution

Supply at full size where you can — 150dpi at actual size is plenty for fabric read at distance. WhatsApp-compressed images and screenshots won’t cut it; export the original from Canva or your design tool.

Flatten transparency

Transparency looks fine on screen and misbehaves on large format. Flatten before you export. Forget? No drama — a real person checks every file and we’ll catch it before it prints.
