Notice
Consider where you position your flag, as air pollution will cause the white areas to become grey and UV can, over time, cause deterioration and fading to the fabric.
Flags can be washed in a regular washing machine on a 40° wash with everyday detergents. Always allow your flag to completely dry out before storing.
Ensure that your flag doesn't catch or snag on its pole or any other surrounding objects. Do not place poles too close together.
Dismantle your flag during adverse weather conditions, including strong winds in excess of beaufort scale 4 (13-18mph). Heavy rain combined with high winds can increase the weight of the flag and put extra strain on the pole.
Life expectancy is entirely dependant on the climatic conditions and hours of flying. Realistic maximum lifespan of a regularly used flag is six months.
Base Options
Flag bases should be chosen to suit the size of flag you are ordering and the type of ground the flag will be used with. For full details, please refer to our flag accessories page.
If you plan to create a 'reversed design' version of your artwork, the design content itself should not be horizontally flipped - only the flag template shape should be flipped. If the content is flipped, this will likely result in an unsatisfactory graphic, since the 'front' of the graphic would read the wrong way around, and the other side would only be readable as 'show-through'. Please ask if you have any questions on how to setup your artwork.

These templates will help you create your design at the correct size, shape and proportion for the Blade Flag, and are setup at 20% scale of full size.
Please note, each size differs in shape and proportion. The template used must match the size ordered.
Shape
- The red line is the bleed line. Artwork must extend to this line. The area in between this line and the safe area line must only be used as a quiet area.
- The purple line is the cut line. Perimeter of the cut graphic area, before any finishing. The area in between this line and the finished line will be used for hems and attaching the sleeve.
- The blue line is the finished line. This is the perimeter of the visible graphic area, after the graphic has been finished.
- The green line is the safe area line. Important content (text, logos etc.) must be kept within this line.
- The grey line is the flag sleeve. This shows the location of the elasticated flag sleeve, when finished and attached.
