With one day production and a 100% satisfaction guarantee, whether you need to ship it to your business or the hotel of your next event, you can rest assured you’ll have your business flags when you need them.

Flags are an effective way to attract attention and direct customers to a business or event. They can be used indoors or out, and they’re also easy to install and remove. Storing them properly makes them reusable. We offer a wide selection of shapes and sizes so you can get the look that you want for your business or event. These flags are durable and work great both inside a business as well as during an outdoor event. Lastly, they are arguably the most visible signage that a business can use.

Question 2

Where can I find more information on the specific advertising and business flags?

Accepted Answer

Please click the thumbnail image for a specific flag type on this page to view additional information about that product. You can also click our “Learn More” button to go directly to the product page for more details.

Question 3

How long does it take to create my custom advertising flag?

Accepted Answer

We produce our flags quickly. Once your order has been placed, we will put it into production that same night and ship it the next day (with overnight shipping). With two-day delivery you can have your flags in hand in as little as three business days. We offer several shipping options to suit your needs.

Question 4

Do all your advertising flags work with any pole set?

Accepted Answer

When you buy a flag, you can choose to have the pole set included or not. However, the pole sets offered for our different flags differ from one another. Because each flag type is not interchangeable across pole sets, please check the product page for more details on the specific flag.

Question 5

Do all business flags have to be placed in the ground?

Accepted Answer

Our business flags come with a ground stake. For those who prefer more versatile bases, we offer cross bases and square bases. The cross base can be placed in the ground and serves as an anchor for the flag, which can be flown indoors or out. If a water bag is attached to the base, it will float in water.

Question 6

Is professional installation assistance offered when I purchase a business flag?

Accepted Answer

Our business flags are easy to set up and use, and do not require any special installation. They can be displayed in just a few steps and minutes after purchase. To see how easy it is for each flag, please visit the specific product page.

Question 7

How do I care for my business flags?

Accepted Answer

Flags should not be used in inclement weather and should be stored in a safe place during non-use. Where you store your flag depends on several factors, including the type of flag you have and how much space you have available. The best place for storage is a cool dry room and a location that doesn’t have sharp edges or won’t result in the flag being tossed around and thereby creating situations where it may come in contact with sharp edges or objects that would damage the flag in any way. For specific care differences please refer to the different flag product pages as outlined above.

Question 8

Can I customize my business flag?

Accepted Answer

We offer a variety of flag options, including square, rectangle and triangle shapes and sizes. Further, you can choose from our library of templates or upload your design to create a unique custom flag. If you need help with a design or would like us to design something for you please take advantage of our free design services.

Question 9

Can I purchase different types of business flags using the same design (ie. a feather flag and a teardrop flag with the same design) in a single order?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can purchase multiple flag types with the same design. However, because the shape of each flag varies slightly, the design will need to be adjusted for each shape. In order to get the design on multiple flag types, upload your logo or artwork to the design tool for each flag type.

Question 10

Can I use advertising and business flags for other display and advertising purposes?

Accepted Answer

Certainly! Although these flags are most commonly used for business and advertising purposes, they can also be used for personal or residential use including block or neighborhood parties, races, charity events, yard sales and more.

Question 11

Do you offer any other custom advertising flags beyond what is listed on this page?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, we do not currently offer the flag you are looking for. However, if you have any questions or are looking for a specific flag type that isn’t offered on this page, please contact us.

Question 12

Are the flags easy to transport? What options do you offer to make this easy?

Accepted Answer

Each flag pole set is easily disassembled, as are all of our flags. You can easily remove the pole from its base and fold the flag for storage or transport by simply twisting it in half. The pole sets of angled, feather and teardrop flags simply slide into and out of one another while the rectangular poles are joined together with push buttons that click into place.

The best option for transporting a flagpole set is to disassemble the flag by separating each pole in the pole set by pulling them apart and placing each pole into a carrying case. The angled, teardrop, and feather flags have a carrying case available for an optional purchase. The rectangle flags don’t currently have an optional carrying case, so you can transport them using gym bags long enough to fit the poles of your pole set or by using bungee cords or something similar to hold the pole set together. If you are transporting folded flags, be sure not to allow the poles to damage your folded flag during transport!

Question 13

Will I need the help of someone else to set up my flags? Or will I be able to do it by myself?

Accepted Answer

For larger events, we can provide additional hands to help assemble your flags more quickly. However, all of our flag sets are easily assembled by one person in a matter of minutes.
Please note that ground stake installations may require a rubber mallet, especially if the surface is harder. Further, the cross base with water bag will of course require access to a water source in order to fill it and use it correctly to weigh your flag down. Lastly, as a pro tip from a company that has set up a flag or two, for the push buttons on rectangular flags, often an object such as a butter knife or key can help avoid pinched fingers by pressing down spring loaded snap buttons connecting two poles.

Question 14

Do you sell just the pole set? What about just replaceable hardware?

Accepted Answer

We do not currently sell the pole set or spare hardware for any of the four flag types as standalone items. If you need either, please contact us at info@eds.ae or +971-4-5193444 so we can help you get either one of those ordered.

Question 15

If I use your free design services how long does it take to get my design finalized? There really isn’t any cost with these design services?

Accepted Answer

Our designers will work to help you create your design as quickly as possible. Although the revision process is only one business day, revisions typically occur much faster. Many of our customers contact us, receive a free design, and check out all on the same day! Provided you give the designer a good idea of what you are trying to do, we are confident that you’ll be completely satisfied in very little time.

Question 16

Are the flags single sided or double sided? For the single sided flags, are they mirrored or print through?

Accepted Answer

All of our flags can be printed on both sides (single-sided), or one side (double-sided). For single-sided flags, on one side of the fabric the design is printed through, meaning your design will be visible from that side but will be mirrored.

For double-sided flags, we can print either the same design on both sides or a different one on each side (depending on your design). Neither of these designs will be visible through the polyester due to a liner between the front and back sides. You do not need to worry about designs conflicting with each other if you choose this option. To upload files for double sided signs, select “Back Side” in the Design Tool when uploading your files.

Question 17

Will the flags fade in the sun?

Accepted Answer

Like most other printed signs, your flag will eventually fade when exposed to extended sunlight. The length of time it takes for fading to occur will depend on the climate where you live, how much exposure your sign has to sunlight, and other environmental factors. To prevent fading, store your flag between uses. However, even if you do not take this precaution, you shouldn’t expect any visible fading in the short term as long as your flag has been printed correctly and is not damaged by other factors such as pests or rough handling.

Our custom flags are designed for both indoor and outdoor use and can withstand rain. To clean them after they get wet, simply wash them or let them air dry. However, when severe weather occurs, we recommend that you take down your flag and store it until the weather clears up. Failing to do so can result in permanent damage to your flag and pole set.

Provided that you follow the correct care and maintenance guidelines, your flags will last for 2 or more years. This assumes that your flags are not exposed to severe weather conditions, which can permanently damage them.

Question 18

Can the flags get wet? Can they be used in the rain?

Accepted Answer

Our custom flags are designed for both indoor and outdoor use and can withstand rain. To clean them after they get wet, simply wash them or let them air dry. However, when severe weather occurs, we recommend that you take down your flag and store it until the weather clears up. Failing to do so can result in permanent damage to your flag and pole set.

Question 19

How long can I expect my flag to last?

Accepted Answer

Provided that you follow the correct care and maintenance guidelines, your flags will last for 2 or more years. This assumes that your flags are not exposed to severe weather conditions, which can permanently damage them.

Question 20

What are the poles made out of?

Accepted Answer

Poles for outdoor flags are available in fiberglass (angled, teardrop or feather) and aluminum (rectangle) for strength and durability.

Question 21

I will be using my flag in a very windy area, will it blow away?

Accepted Answer

We recommend not using flags in very windy situations. In order to prevent the flag from blowing away, use a ground stake or cross base with a water bag to anchor the flag while in use. We recommend taking down your flag in extreme weather conditions.

Question 22

From how far away is my flag visible? Will it work for traffic that is driving by?

Accepted Answer

The answer to this question can be quite complex. If you are going to do it correctly, there are a number of factors that factor in car speed, number of lanes, reaction time of the driver, and much more. For our purposes today, there are a few factors that you should consider when making your sign legible from a distance: the distance from the road and lettering height, size of the flag and design of your flag. Let’s tackle each of these individually.

For most businesses, it is safe to assume that a roadside flag will be within 10 to 40 feet of vehicle passersby. Some rules of thumb suggest that lettering on a flag should be 1 inch tall for every 10 feet of distance from the viewer. Others recommend lettering heights anywhere from 4 to 10 inches high for distances ranging from 10 feet to 40 feet. Thus, if your flag is within 20 or 30 feet of the road and your lettering measures 3 inches or 6 inches high, you should be safe in terms of legibility. The next factor is the size of the flag itself. The importance of this factor is because larger flags have more space on which to display letters at appropriate sizes. If in doubt about the size of flag you need, larger flags are preferable to smaller ones.

The design of your flag impacts its legibility in at least two ways. First, the font type or appearance of the font you choose to use can affect it’s legibility; we recommend easy-to-read fonts in all cases. The second consideration is contrast. Contrasting colors between text and flag color will significantly increase its legibility; for example, black and yellow are known to be some of the most contrasting colors whereas a pink font on a red flag is going to be harder to read.

When designing and purchasing a flag, keep these considerations in mind to ensure that all those who pass by it can clearly and quickly read it. If you’re still unsure whether your flag will be legible, don’t hesitate to contact us about our free design services.

Question 23

How is the flag height determined? Does flag height differ from printable area?

Accepted Answer

For each of our three flag types, there are three measurements that come into play: display height, flag height and printable area. The display height is the largest of the three sizes. This is the height commonly used when discussing the flags in general. For example, if you purchase a 15′ rectangle flag, this height includes the total size of the flag plus the base height. Because bases differ, this height will not be exactly as stated. This is the case with any type of advertising or business flag purchased from any company. However, the display height will not differ significantly from what is listed on our website.

Flag height and flag size are two different things. Flag height is the actual size of the flag, while flag size is a measurement of the fabric that makes up your flag. The last size is the printable area. This is typically just slightly smaller than the flag size as this ensures that no text or designs will be too close to the edges of your flags and so will not be cut off during printing. Some people call this the “safe zone”. If this size is seen at all on our website it will be on the design tool. Otherwise, we’ve accounted for this smaller printable area size and you don’t need to worry about this one.

Question 24

Are these flags really as big as the graphic on this page in which they tower over an average person?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The graphic accurately shows the flag sizes and heights. These flags were made to be displayed on a large scale.

Question 25

Is the rectangle flag the one with the most area for design purposes?

Accepted Answer

Rectangle flags have the largest available print area per unit length, while teardrop flags have the least. Both feather and angle flags have similar printing areas; choosing between the two is largely a matter of aesthetics.

Question 26

What happens if my flag arrives damaged? What if my design or printing is wrong?

Accepted Answer

If your flag is damaged during shipment or printed incorrectly, please let us know. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee that is backed by our award-winning customer experience department. Once you contact us, we’ll work with you to make things right and make sure you are happy.

Question 27

These flags seem to be called everything. What is the difference between all the names I see for these flags?

Accepted Answer

There are a number of names for flag products that are essentially the same. The names may depend on the shape, such as feather flags, angled flags, teardrop flags, and rectangle flags. In addition to these commonly used names, other names for flag products might include flutter flags, blade flags, sail flags, event flags, swooper flags, bow flags, tall flags, and quill flags.

Although the terms feather, angled, teardrop, and rectangle flags are often used to refer to specific flag types, these names do not refer to specific shapes. They are general terms that can be used to describe many different flag types. To determine the type of business flag you want, be sure to check for its shape. If you don’t see the shape you’re looking for please contact us to see if we are still able to offer it but don’t simply have it online yet?

Question 28

Is there a difference between advertising and business flags? What about standard flags?

Accepted Answer

Advertising flags and business flags are the same product. These flags, also known as standards, are some of the biggest and most visible signage you can buy short of extremely large vinyl banners or billboards. Standard flags are what you would see on a flagpole, like the United States flag. For more information about standard flags, click here: custom flags.

Question 29

Due to the size of these flags, what type of file size or resolution do I need?

Accepted Answer

To make the best print possible, we accept vector files in AI, EPS, PS or PDF. We also accept JPEG, JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF and TIF. Our design tool has a maximum upload of 25 MB. If your file is bigger than 25 MB please use a lower resolution image while placing your order and then upload your higher resolution image through email. During this process you can leave a note in the “Customer Comments” field on the checkout page indicating you will be uploading a bigger file. Further, please indicate your order number when visiting eds.ae to send us your bigger file. By following this process you can complete your order now and we’ll make sure your flag uses your higher resolution file for a beautifully printed flag! To maintain a high quality print for your flag we recommend a minimum resolution of 100dpi for your file uploads.

Question 30

Do you sell just the flag? Do I have to buy a pole set and other accessories?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we sell each of our flags separately. You don’t need to buy a flagpole set or any accessories when purchasing a flag; the options appear underneath the design area on the website. These options are also listed in your cart before proceeding to the checkout page. If you are ordering a replacement flag, it must be the same type and size as your previous one to ensure that your current pole set will work with the replacement flag. Alternatively, if you know it is the same type and size, and if your old flagpole set is in good condition, then you can simply use a previously ordered pole set. If you are unsure about anything please contact us and we are happy to help.
