Printed advertising flags are an effective way to attract attention outdoors and increase your brand visibility. Whether displayed outside a shop, showroom, restaurant, office building or event venue, a professionally printed flag makes your business visible from a distance.
Amstel Printing supplies advertising flags for promotional campaigns, permanent business locations, retail, hospitality and events. Choose from portable beach flags, highly visible banner flags and traditional pole flags in various sizes, materials and finishes.
Beach flags are a popular choice for outdoor promotions, events, sports venues, petrol stations and retail locations. Their height, distinctive shape and movement attract attention and make them suitable for advertising, branding and wayfinding.
Beach flags are lightweight, easy to transport and quick to assemble. The separate pole sections fit into a convenient carrying bag, making the system practical for mobile campaigns and recurring events. Replacement flag fabrics can also be ordered separately, allowing you to reuse the pole and base for a new campaign.
Choose from straight, square, drop and wave shapes in various sizes. Depending on the selected model, different bases are available for indoor and outdoor use, including ground spikes, base plates, water bags and parasol bases.
A printed banner flag has an elongated vertical shape and is mounted to a banner arm. This keeps the flag extended and your design clearly visible, even when there is little or no wind.
Banner flags are particularly suitable for shops, hotels, restaurants, offices and business premises where continuous visibility is important. They are available in several standard sizes, with different finishing options and a choice of three flag fabrics.
A pole flag is an excellent choice when your company, brand or event needs to be visible from a greater distance. Pole flags are widely used at company premises, business parks, petrol stations, hotels and event locations.
Choose from horizontal and portrait models in various standard sizes. The correct format depends on the height of the flagpole, the available space and the desired viewing distance. Different finishing options are available to match the flag to your pole and mounting system.
The most suitable material depends on the application, desired lifespan and sustainability requirements:
The print is visible in mirror image on the reverse side because the ink penetrates the fabric. This provides excellent visibility from both directions without requiring a second printed layer.
Advertising flags can be used for a wide range of commercial applications. Retailers use them to attract passing customers, hospitality venues position them near terraces and entrances, and event organisers use them for branding, sponsorship visibility and wayfinding.
For a consistent presentation, use the same colours, typography and key message across all flags. Keep the design clear and avoid adding too much text, especially when the flag needs to be read from a distance or while people are passing by.
Wind, rain, location and continuous outdoor exposure all affect the lifespan of a flag. To reduce wear, take flags down during severe weather and from approximately wind force 6. Regularly inspect the seams, sleeve, hooks and edges for signs of wear.
Most flag fabrics can be washed at a maximum of 30°C using a mild detergent. Allow the flag to dry fully before storing it. Always fold or roll clean, dry flags and keep them in a protected place when they are not in use.
At Amstel Printing, you can order professional advertising flags tailored to your branding, location and promotional requirements. From portable beach flags and permanently visible banner flags to pole flags for maximum reach, our range combines strong visual impact with practical mounting systems and high-quality printing.
Not sure which flag, size, material or mounting system is right for your location? We will help you choose a practical solution based on the viewing distance, intended use and local wind conditions.
Choose a beach flag for portable promotions, events and wayfinding. A banner flag is ideal when the design must remain fully visible without wind. Choose a pole flag for permanent business locations and visibility from a greater distance.
Standard Flag fabric is suitable for general promotional use. Flag PET is made from recycled PET bottles and is the more sustainable option. Flag Longlife has a stronger open structure that reduces fraying and is useful for locations where additional durability is required.
The flag is normally printed on one side using sublimation printing. The ink penetrates the fabric, making the design visible in mirror image on the reverse side. This provides high visibility from both directions without using two separate printed layers.
Use a ground spike or ground pin on soft ground such as grass or sand. For hard indoor or outdoor surfaces, choose a base plate, water bag or parasol base. The required base depends on the size of the flag, the surface and the expected wind conditions.
A banner flag is mounted to a horizontal banner arm, keeping the complete design visible even without wind. A pole flag hangs freely from the pole and moves with the wind. Pole flags are available in horizontal and portrait formats.
The lifespan depends on the material, location, flag size, weather and how the flag is maintained. Continuous exposure to strong wind and rain accelerates wear. Taking the flag down during severe weather can significantly extend its usable life.
We recommend taking advertising flags down during severe weather and from approximately wind force 6. Strong wind creates additional tension on the fabric, seams, pole and mounting system and can shorten the lifespan of the flag.
Most printed flag fabrics can be washed at a maximum of 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not use aggressive cleaning products and allow the flag to dry fully before folding, storing or reinstalling it.
Yes. For many flag systems, you can order the printed fabric separately and reuse the existing pole, mast, base or mounting hardware. Check the dimensions and finishing carefully to ensure the replacement fits your current system.
