Flag printing: feather flags, teardrop flags and National Day flags

20 April 20265 min read

Flags do a specific job other signage can't: they move, catch the eye from a distance, and work well in open outdoor spaces like forecourts, event entrances and roadside pitches.

Feather and teardrop flags

Lightweight polyester on a flexible fibreglass pole, sold as single- or double-sided prints, standard for retail forecourts, car dealerships and event entrances. The two shapes, a sweeping feather profile or a simpler teardrop panel, serve the same visibility purpose.

Flag base options

  • Cross bases: portable, weighted or filled with sand or water.
  • Ground spikes: for grass or soft ground.
  • Wall-mount bases: for a fixed position against a building.

National flags and bunting

Printed national flags and pennant bunting see a sharp seasonal spike around UAE National Day (2 December) and Qatar National Day (18 December), when businesses decorate storefronts and offices in national colours.

Printing considerations

Polyester fabric with dye-sublimation printing is standard, since the dye saturates the fabric fully and the flag reads correctly from both sides depending on the print type chosen.

Frequently asked questions
