Overview
Feather flag printing is for anyone who needs to be seen from a distance without putting up a permanent sign. Plant one at a garden centre gate on a bank holiday, line a few along a car sales forecourt, or stand one at the end of a school field on sports day. The long, curved shape moves in the wind, and that movement pulls eyes towards it.
Start with the ground, not the flag
The base is where most people go wrong. A spike on concrete is useless, and a small base on a windy seafront will tip. Match the base to the surface:
- Grass or soft ground: Budget Ground Spike or Standard Ground Spike.
- Tarmac, paving or indoors: Large Cross Base, Small Square Base, Concrete Base, or a Small or Large Water Base that you fill on site.
- Forecourts and car shows: the Drive on Car Base, which sits under a vehicle wheel.
- Already have one? Choose None, or order a base on its own.
Feather flag printing: height and sides
Four heights: 8 ft 6 in (2600 mm), 10 ft 6 in (3200 mm), 13 ft 1 in (4000 mm) and 16 ft 1 in (4900 mm). The shorter ones suit a shop doorway or a café terrace; the tallest stand out over parked cars and hedges. Print one side or both; double sided is the one to pick beside a road, where drivers approach from both directions. Order anything from 1 to 99 flags.
Design for a narrow, moving shape
A feather flag is tall and slim, so run your words down the length or keep them to one or two short ones. A logo near the top stays visible when the fabric curls in the wind. Upload a print-ready file, use the free online designer, or book the paid artwork service; a person checks every uploaded file for free.
Permission, timing and delivery
Outdoor advertising in England is controlled by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Some adverts have deemed consent and others need express consent from the local planning authority, so check with your council before a flag becomes a permanent fixture. Standard production is 6 working days after your order and artwork are confirmed, express from 4, saver 8. Flags are made to order and dispatched from the UK; UK mainland delivery is £7.95, free on orders of £100 or more after discounts. See delivery, or compare shapes in flags.

Questions
Quick answers about feather flag printing.
What happens after I order?
FatPrint receives it, a person checks your file, then your feather flag is made to order and handed to the courier. You get tracking by email the day it ships. Questions along the way? The question box on this page reaches a person.
How do I find out what my flag will cost?
Choose the options on this page and the total updates straight away. It opens on the cheapest combination, £130.19. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout.
Is there a discount if I buy more?
Usually, yes: the more you order, the less each one tends to cost. Anything from 1 up to 99 is priced on this page for your feather flag order. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.
Do you check the design I upload?
Every upload is looked at by a person first, and nothing is printed until it passes. If anything needs fixing on your feather flag order, we tell you before it is made. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.
Is anything added to the price of my feather flag order at checkout?
Only delivery, where it applies. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout. The £130.19 starting price for your feather flag order is the full price of the goods. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.
What is the turnaround on my feather flag order?
Pick Saver (8 working days), Standard (6 working days) or Express (4 working days); that is the time before it leaves us. The clock starts once your order is placed and the file is confirmed. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.
Asked by buyers
How cheaply can I get hold of Feather Flags?
Picked the way the page first loads, with feather, 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) and single Sided print, Feather Flags come to £130.19. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. At £130.19 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing.
Which turnaround speeds can I choose for Feather Flags?
Allow 8 working days on Saver, 6 on Standard or 4 on Express before Feather Flags are handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.
Is delivery extra on top of the price of Feather Flags?
Send it to a UK mainland address for a flat £7.95, or for free when the goods in the basket add up to £100 or more after discounts; artwork and design charges do not count towards that. The opening price of £130.19 already clears that line. We price delivery first for Northern Ireland and for the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man; Highland addresses on the mainland just pay £10 extra, one time per order.
Which artwork services are offered with Feather Flags?
Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
Will my flag read backwards from the other side?
On a single sided flag, yes. The ink goes right through the fabric, so from behind you see a mirror image and the words run backwards. A double sided flag reads the right way round from both sides, which is worth it where people come from both directions, like along a road or a market aisle. Double sided is the dearer option; flip between them on the page to compare. Before delivery, these flags cost from £130.19.
How do feather, teardrop and crest flags differ in shape?
It comes down to how your message is laid out. Long upright text or a name down the side? A feather flag, with its narrow body and curved top, gives you the most height. A logo that must stay readable in a breeze at a fun run or a market? A teardrop holds its rounded shape better. Want more space right at the top? A crest has a wide, sweeping top edge. Here on the Feather Flags listing the height is 4.9 m, 4 m, 3.2 m or 2.6 m.
Which sizes can Feather Flags be printed in?
The table has 4 sizes. At the small end, 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) costs from £130.19; at the top, 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m) costs from £248.38. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand.
What happens to these flags on a windy day?
They are meant to flutter, so a breeze is fine, but bring them in when the forecast says strong wind. It saves the fabric and the pole, and keeps people walking past safe. Pick the base that suits the ground and put weight in any water base. If the pitch is exposed and nobody is there overnight, take them down at the end of the day; flags that come in often last longer. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
What should hold these flags up: a spike or a base?
Here you can pick a standard or budget ground spike, small or large water base, small square base, drive-on car base, large cross base or concrete base. Match them to the surface: spikes for grass and soft soil; water, square or cross types for paving and tarmac, with the water ones filled to make them heavier. The car version sits under a tyre, which suits forecourts, and concrete gives the most weight. Already have a base from an earlier flag? Choose None. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
No surprises: what the page shows for these flags is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
How much does a 13 ft 1 in (4 m) flag cost?
From £223.58, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, these flags cost from £130.19.
I am not a business. Can I buy just one of these flags?
Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for Feather Flags begin at £130.19, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. At £130.19 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing.
How many Feather Flags can I buy at one time?
Anything from 1 to 99. The quantity choices on the page run 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and upwards. The figure shown is for the whole batch, not for one, so divide it by the number you picked to see the cost of each. If you need more than 99, send the size, number and date through our Get a quote page. Before delivery, these flags cost from £130.19.
How much for the biggest size, 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m)?
From £248.38, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. That clears the £100 mark on its own, so UK mainland delivery costs nothing. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
Our event is close. Can Feather Flags be rushed?
Yes. Choose Express and Feather Flags can be on the way in 4 working days on the opening option, for £150.75, where Saver is £130.19 and takes 8 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.
Do you send to Northern Ireland or the islands?
Yes, anywhere in the UK, though the price differs by area. A Highlands postcode on the mainland pays the usual rate plus a single £10 for the order, and that £10 still applies when the rest of the delivery is free. Northern Ireland gets a price worked out first, as do the Isle of Wight, the Channel Islands, Scilly, the Scottish islands and the Isle of Man: send your postcode through our Get a quote page or the Contact page. We cannot send anything outside the UK. Before delivery, these flags cost from £130.19.
I have an event coming up: what is the latest I can place my order for these flags?
Say the open day is on a Saturday. Count back 8 working days for Saver (or 4 for Express), plus one to three working days with the courier, then a few more for artwork checks and a practice set-up. Buying your flyers and business cards in the same basket can take the goods past £100, and delivery is then free. Choose Saver and these flags leave us after 8 working days; Express brings that down to 4.
Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?
Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
Can I send a Word or Canva file for Feather Flags?
Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
That is why a person looks at every upload before anything is printed. Typical snags are a document at the wrong size, missing bleed, blurry photos and words sitting too near the trim. If we spot one, we explain what to change and you send a fresh file. Or hand it over to us: for £15 our typesetting places your wording and logo on a neat layout, with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
Does the sides printed option I choose make a difference to Feather Flags?
The sides printed option has 2 settings: double Sided print or single Sided print. One side means the design appears on the front only. Two sides puts print on both faces, handy when people approach from either direction, for example a flag on a pole or a sign that faces two ways. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
How tall should my flag be?
Ask where people will be when they first see it. From a distance, say a road or a large car park, taller is better. Close up, at a shop door, in a sports hall or under low obstructions, a shorter flag fits. Heights offered, tallest first: 4.9 m, 4 m, 3.2 m and 2.6 m. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
Can I use these flags at a farmers' market pitch or a charity fun run?
They work well for spotting your pitch from a distance. Choose a holder to suit the surface: a spike for grass, and for paving a heavier type such as water (filled once in place), square or cross. Bring the flag in when a strong wind is on the way. Holders offered with it: standard or budget ground spike, small or large water base, small square base, drive-on car base and large cross base. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
We have a school fair coming up. Would these flags be suitable?
Yes. A flag stands tall above a crowd, so people can spot your stall from across a field; pick a base that suits grass or hard ground. If you are outside and the wind picks up, check the fixings again during the day. Leave time for making and delivery before the date of the fair. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
Base on Feather Flags: how do the choices differ?
Spikes go into grass or soft earth. On a hard surface, use a cross, square or water base, and fill the water base to weigh it down. A drive-on base goes under a car tyre, and for the most weight of all, go for concrete. For Feather Flags the list runs small square base, Standard Ground spike, concrete base, none, large water base, drive on car base, Budget Ground spike, small water base or large cross base. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
How do I fill and use a water base for a flag?
Put the empty base exactly where the flag is going, pour water in through the cap and tighten the cap firmly before the pole goes in. Once full it is heavy, so do the filling on the spot instead of carrying it. Tip the water out before moving or storing it, and when frost is forecast, so ice cannot crack it. Before delivery, these flags cost from £130.19.
How does the drive-on car base hold a flag up?
Your car does the work. Roll a wheel onto the flat plate, drop the pole into its socket, and the vehicle's weight holds everything steady. That makes it popular on forecourts, at car dealers and at shows where you park next to your stall. Keep enough space for the flag to swing round freely without touching the paintwork. Before delivery, these flags cost from £130.19.
Which base should we pick for a sports day on grass, and which for a shop front?
On a school field or club pitch, a ground spike pushes into the grass: here that is the Budget Ground Spike or Standard Ground Spike. On paving, tarmac or a shop forecourt a spike cannot go in, so use a base that stands on the surface, such as the Large Cross Base, Small Water Base, Large Water Base or Concrete Base. Using the flag in both places? Bases are also sold on their own, so a second one can join the same order. Before delivery, these flags cost from £130.19.
Where do Feather Flags and the Feather Flag 4m differ?
Set Feather Flags beside the Feather Flag 4m and a few things differ. Sizes: 4 on this page, the smallest 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m), and only 13 ft 1 in on the other. Opening price: £130.19 on this page and £223.58 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Should I get Feather Flags, or would Feather Flag 3.2m suit me better?
Set Feather Flags beside the Feather Flag 3.2m and a few things differ. Sizes: 4 on this page, the smallest 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m), and only 10 ft 6 in on the other. Opening price: £130.19 on this page and £170.25 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
How would I decide between Feather Flag 4.9m and Feather Flags?
Set Feather Flags beside the Feather Flag 4.9m and a few things differ. Sizes: 4 on this page, the smallest 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m), and only 16 ft 1 in on the other. Opening price: £130.19 on this page and £248.38 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Our club needs a big batch of flags, or an odd size. Can you price it?
Yes. Fill in our Get a quote page, giving the size, how many, the material, when you need them and the delivery postcode, and attach your artwork if it is ready. A price comes back to you by email. Get a quote is also how delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands gets priced. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?
Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?
Keep the order confirmation email we send: it itemises the purchase and the payment, and works as a plain receipt for your records. The total at checkout for these flags is the goods price on the page plus delivery, so the email matches what left the account. Need something more formal for an audit or a grant claim? Message us from the Contact page with your order number. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
Who looks after me once I have bought Feather Flags?
FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and Feather Flags are made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.
Do I have to register before I can buy?
There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?
No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
Should I send my file as RGB or CMYK?
CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while printed items reflect it. Sizes for these flags go from 8 ft 6 in (2.6 m) at the small end to 16 ft 1 in (4.9 m), 4 in all.
Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?
Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order Feather Flags. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.
