Feather, teardrop, blade and rectangle flags: how to choose
Flag shape changes how visible your message is and how the flag moves in the wind.
- Feather / blade flags are tall and narrow with a straight edge. They show text and logos clearly and suit roadside and storefront promotion.
- Teardrop flags curve to a point. Their rounded shape catches wind and keeps the graphic open, which helps on windless days.
- Concave and convex flags have a curved side and make a distinctive silhouette for events.
- Rectangle flags look most like a traditional flag and fit a wide logo or a message with several lines.
Choosing a size
Pick the size by viewing distance. For roadside traffic, go tall; for a booth or storefront, a smaller flag is easier to handle and ship. Taller flags need heavier bases.
Single or double sided
Single-sided flags show the graphic through the fabric, so the back reads reversed. Double-sided flags print both sides so the message reads correctly from either direction.
Remember to order the pole and base too — see our guide on flag hardware.
