Feather flags are a popular way to promote businesses at storefronts, trade shows, outdoor events, and grand openings. Their tall, curved design stands out from far away, making it easier to catch people’s attention and direct them where you want.
Even with their impressive height, setting up a feather flag is easier than you might think. Most can be put together in just a few minutes without any tools. At UPrinting, we offer customizable feather flags that can showcase your branding and promote your business. And by following these simple steps, your flag will surely rise and get all the attention you need.
Step 1: Check Your Feather Flag Set
Your feather flag set will arrive in a carrying bag for safe transport. When you get your order from UPrinting, please check that all parts are included.
Here’s a quick checklist of what comes with your set:
- The printed feather flag graphic.
- Flexible poles that connect to form the frame.
- A sturdy base to support the flag. The type of base may vary depending on your order: ground spikes, cross bases, or a water base.
Besides checking the parts, make sure the flag’s size matches your order, since we offer several feather flag sizes.
Step 2: Connect the Pole Sections
Assemble the pole sections that support the flag.
Most feather flag poles come in lightweight pieces that fit together tightly. Some poles have an elastic cord inside, which makes them easier to connect.
- Slide each pole section into the next one until you have one long pole.
- Check that each section fits snugly to keep the pole stable.
- Once assembled, the pole will be flexible. This helps the flag keep its curved shape.
Step 3: Slide the Pole Into the Flag’s Pole Pocket
Once the pole is assembled, locate the pole pocket along the edge of the feather flag banner.
- Gently slide the pole through the sleeve, starting at the bottom of the flag and moving toward the top.
- Keep sliding the pole through the sleeve until it reaches the tip of the flag.
- Be careful not to push the pole too hard, since this could damage the banner.
Step 4: Set Up the Base
Next, get the base ready to hold your feather flag upright.
There are different types of bases for feather flags, depending on where you want to set up your flag. Here are your options:
- Ground spike: best for grass or soil
- Cross base: good for indoor or hard surfaces
- Water or weighted base: adds extra stability outdoors.
Set up the base where you want to display your flag before you attach the flag itself.
Step 5: Attach the Flag to the Base
After you set up the base, place the bottom of the pole into the spindle or mounting point. Make sure the pole is secure.
Most feather flag bases let the pole spin, so the flag can move with the wind and won't get twisted.
Your feather flag is now ready for your event and sale.
