Buying a Flag: Everything You Need to Know to Make the Right Choice

Buying a facade flag — feather flag for your business, complete buying guide

In short: a flag with your own design costs from €30.00 single-sided and from €46.00 double-sided, in eight standard sizes from 60 × 40 cm to 450 × 300 cm. You set up your design yourself in the design tool on the product page: choose your size, upload your file and see straight away whether the resolution is good enough for that size. Allow 3 to 4 working days for production plus 1 to 2 working days for shipping within the Netherlands and Belgium (2 to 4 to other EU countries), typically 5 to 7 working days in total — and from €60 we ship free to every EU country.

Why a flag?

A flag is the most eye-catching form of outdoor advertising there is. Highly visible, always on the move and recognisable from a distance, flags catch the eye of passers-by in a way no static sign or banner can match. Whether you run a shop, a sports club, an event or a public body, a flag lets your brand or message literally fly.

Step 1 — Choose the right type: single-sided or double-sided

The first thing to decide is whether you want a single-sided or a double-sided flag.

  • Single-sided, from €30.00: the more affordable option, suited to spots where the flag is mainly seen from one side. On the back, the design shows through as a mirror image. See the single-sided flag with your own design.
  • Double-sided, from €46.00: each side is printed separately, with an opaque interlayer (black-out) in between. That way both sides read correctly with no mirror image, and you can give the front and back a different design. See the double-sided flag with two designs.

Step 2 — Choose the right size

The standard size is 150 × 100 cm (width × height) — a size that fits almost any wall-mounted flagpole and is easy to read from across the street. Got a narrow facade or a large building? In the design tool you can choose from eight sizes:

  • 60 × 40 cm
  • 90 × 60 cm
  • 120 × 80 cm
  • 150 × 90 cm
  • 150 × 100 cm
  • 225 × 150 cm
  • 300 × 200 cm
  • 450 × 300 cm

The right size depends on the height of your flagpole, the distance from which the flag will be seen and the clearance above the pavement. Want to go into more detail? Take a look at our complete size guide.

Step 3 — Make sure you have a good file

For a sharp print you need a file that is large enough for the size you choose. The basics:

  • File format: PDF, EPS, SVG, AI, PNG, JPG or WEBP
  • Resolution: about 40 ppi at actual size, roughly 16 pixels per centimetre
  • Colour mode: CMYK (recommended) or RGB
  • Convert text to outlines/curves
  • A 5 mm bleed all round

No print-ready file from a design program? Then you don't need to install anything. In the design tool on the product page, you first choose your size, then upload your image and see immediately whether the resolution is good enough for that size — before you check out, not after. The tool instantly fits your design to the exact proportions of the flag. You'll find more tips in: Supplying Artwork for Your Flag

Step 4 — Keep the delivery time in mind

From the moment you order, allow 5 to 7 working days in total:

  • Production: 3–4 working days after your order
  • Shipping: 1–2 working days after that within the Netherlands and Belgium, 2–4 working days to other EU countries
  • Total: typically 5–7 working days from your order

Ordering for a specific event? Then allow at least 10 working days as a buffer, so you have enough time for any changes and a possible redelivery.
