Flags

One extra small single-sided flag is $137.87 including GST, complete with the pole set, a ground spike and delivery. A small is $154.37, a medium $173.62, a large $201.12 and a jumbo $236.87. Printing both sides costs more on a bigger flag rather than a flat amount — a second skin on a 5m jumbo is far more fabric than on a 2m extra small — so the most common order, a medium printed both sides, is $236.87. Teardrop and feather cost the same. Delivery and design are both in that figure, and the price per flag drops at five and again at ten.

Yes, and it steps twice. One to four flags are the prices in the table; from five the base of every flag drops to $107.40, and from ten to $97.16 — with the size and both-sides additions unchanged either way. The drop applies to the order rather than to the flag, so a school, a dealership or a market with a row to fill should put the whole set on one order. Above 15 flags the table stops and the desk quotes it, which on an order that size is worth more to you than another rung would be.

The shape, and with it the height. A teardrop curves down its leading edge and holds its shape in still air, which is why it is the classic shopfront flag. A feather is straight-edged and taller for the same footprint — a medium feather stands 3.0m against a 2.7m medium teardrop — so it carries more artwork and moves more in a breeze. They cost the same at each size, so the choice is about the look and the height rather than the price. Something a different shape again — a straight-edged rectangle on a feather pole, say — is a quote rather than an order here.

A single-sided flag is one skin printed once. You read it correctly from the front, and mirrored from the back — text runs backwards. A double-sided flag is two skins sewn together over a blockout liner, so it reads correctly from both sides and nothing shows through from behind. Single-sided is right where the flag stands against a wall, a fence or a shopfront and only has one useful side. Double-sided earns its extra anywhere people pass on both sides — a footpath, a market aisle, an event entrance. On a medium that difference is $236.87 against $173.62; on a jumbo it is wider again, because the second skin is the cost and a jumbo skin is a much bigger piece of fabric.

It depends entirely on what the flag stands on. Grass or soil takes a ground spike, which is included in every price on this page. Concrete, pavers or an indoor floor needs a cross base with a water bag — the bag fills on site, so it ships light and stands heavy. A car park or display lot takes a car base, which clamps under a wheel. A wall bracket or a gazebo mount is available where the flag is fixed to something rather than standing on it. If a flag is going somewhere windy, go a size down rather than adding weight: a shorter flag in a gust is a much smaller lever on the base.

It depends on sun and wind more than anything else: a flag that comes down between events lasts far longer than one standing on a north-facing footpath every day. The print is dye sublimated, which means the ink is in the fibre rather than on the surface, so it does not crack or peel the way a surface print does — it fades slowly and evenly instead, and reds and oranges go first, as they do on everything printed. The pole set outlasts the skin, which is why replacement flags start at $76.

Generally no, for temporary display on private property — a market stall, an open home, an event, a flag put out in the morning and brought in at night. Councils in both states treat that differently from fixed signage bolted to a building. Where it changes is a flag that stays up permanently, one on a footpath or road reserve rather than your own land, or a site in a heritage or special character area. Those can need consent like any other sign. Our council guides for NSW and Queensland set out where the line sits, and there are notes for individual councils including Sydney and Brisbane. If it is going up permanently, check before you order rather than after.

2-4 working days from payment, delivered. That runs from the moment your payment lands rather than from when you ask, so a quick approval and a quick transfer are the fastest way to a fast flag. If a date is genuinely fixed — a show, an opening, a season — say so when you ask and we will tell you honestly whether it can be met.

A logo in vector form is ideal — PDF, AI, EPS or SVG — along with the wording you want and any brand colours. If all you have is a logo from a website, send it anyway and we will tell you whether it will hold up at flag size. Keep the message to a few words: a flag is read at a glance from twenty metres by someone who is walking or driving, and a paragraph on a flag is a paragraph nobody reads. Setting your existing branding up to fit the shape is included. Drawing it yourself? The free flag templates carry the exact page size, bleed and safe area for all five sizes, as a PDF or an SVG.

Tell the desk as soon as it lands, with a photo of what you received. If the fault is in the making, it is remade under the reprints policy; if it is in the artwork, we say so straight rather than reprinting the same mistake. When your print arrives wrong walks through what to photograph and what to expect.
