Feather beach flag

Which height for your feather beach flag?

The feather is the slimmest of the advertising flags: for the same printed area it stands taller than a teardrop and reads over obstacles. At 2.03 m and 2.40 m it sits beside a reception desk or in a lobby. At 3.08 m and 3.51 m it covers most exhibitions, clearing stand partitions without blocking the lighting. The 4.65 m height is for large events and roadside pitches, where you need to be seen from tens of metres away. The family is gathered in our feather flag section, inside the wider beach flag range.

Edge binding, a visible detail

A feather flag can take a binding, the strip sewn along the outer edge of the sail. Black binding underlines the outline and hides the small variations that appear at the edge after repeated rigging. Printed binding, offered at 4.65 m, picks up your colours and carries the design right to the edge, which helps when your identity rests on one flat colour. Without binding, the flag keeps a finer line and a quieter outline.

Bases and double-sided printing

Up to ten bases, depending on height, match different surfaces: a ground spike for grass and sand, a car foot to slide under a wheel, a parasol foot and a four-arm foot with ring for terraces, 9 kg and 13 kg plate bases on hard ground, and stackable bases from 6 kg to 18 kg for windy pitches. At 4.65 m the choice comes down to the ground spike, the car foot and the 18 kg stackable base. You can also order without a base. Print single-sided when the flag stands against a wall, or double-sided, up to 3.51 m, when visitors walk past on both sides.

Feather beach flag: who is it for, and when?

Its height makes it the flag for large gatherings: festivals, trade shows, sporting events, fairs and agricultural shows, wherever you need to be spotted above the crowd and the stand partitions. Brands and event partners line them up to mark out a route or an exhibitors' village; retailers plant them by the roadside to announce an entrance or an event. One word, a logo, a colour: the feather flag builds recognition rather than detailing an offer.

Preparing your file

Export at 300 DPI in CMYK, with 2 mm bleed and a 4 mm safety margin. The sail is very narrow, so set your type vertically or stack short words, and leave the sleeve edge clear. Aim for high contrast: the flag is read while moving and often against the light. Outline your logos.
