Event Flags and Banners
We have a wide range of Event Flags available to promote your event. Not only are they great for outdoor events, but if you want to advertise an indoor event to passers-by.
Originally, these flags were primarily used as beech flags. As their height and wind movement combine to attract attention, developments in the digital print world have made them ideal as advertising flags.
We have 2 main ranges of flag for promotions - Zoom and Formulate Lite. Both have Feather, Quill and Rectangle and Crest as optional shapes and a variety of heights betweeen 2m and 5m.
The difference between Zoom and Formulate Lite is primarily the pole system. Zoom has a narrow GRP pole that tapers towards the top. The pole is fed through a pocket that runs the length of the the side of the flag. The shape of the pocket flexes the pole and rigidises the flag shape when it is tensioned.
Meanwhile, Formulate Lite Flags are based on the Formulate tubular structures system. Again, the pole is fed through the flag pocket, but the pole is thicker at 25mm and therefore ithe same shape as the flag. The poles break down into smaller sections for easy transport and storage between events. Carry bags are provide with each flag.
Printing for the flags is generally by Dye-Sublimation on lightweight Flag-Knit polyester. The Flags move better with single-sided printing that shows a mirror image on the reverse. Black or white pole pockets are standard, although all over print is possible in some circumstances.
Flags are part of your corporate promotion and should therefore be kept in good condition.
Weather Conditions
If the wind is strong it is recommended that you take your flag down
Heavy rain combined with high winds is the worst combination. Rain increases the weight of the flag and the wind-load exerted on the pole.
You should never fly a flag when the wind is Force 8 or greater
A wide range of Flag Bases are available to suit Zoom and Formulate Lite Flags, Various sizes of water bases that can also be filled with sand. There are also steel plate and cross bases that can be combined with water rings to add extra stability. Brackets for wall mounting and ground spikes for securing flags in the ground, along with drive-on feet for use with cars and other vehicles on sales forecourts.
We have other flags apart from Zoom and Formulate Lite. We have Shimmer Budget Event Flag, which is a more economical and telescopic up to 3m tall. It comes complete with a small water base.
