Feather Flag Sizes: 9 to 18 ft Kits, Bases and Prices

Graphic Size Versus Assembled Height

Build the file to the printed graphic, not to the assembled height. A file drawn at 14 feet tall will not match a cloth that is 28 inches wide by 138 inches tall.

The 9 ft graphic is 23.5 by 78.5 inches, on a four-section pole. The listed kit weight is 1.14 lb. Use those graphic dimensions for the print file rather than the 9 ft assembled height.

The 10.5 ft graphic is 24 by 104 inches, also four pole sections, at 1.4 lb. The extra height is mostly cloth: 104 inches against 78.5. The width barely changes. You gain a taller panel, not a wider one.

The 14 ft graphic is the widest of the four, 28 by 138 inches, four pole sections, 1.79 lb. Those four extra inches of width matter. A logo that is cramped at 24 inches has a little more room here. It is still a narrow flag. Do not design it like a banner.

The 18 ft graphic is 24 by 183.5 inches, five pole sections, 2.43 lb. The cloth is very long and back to a 24 inch width. The fifth pole section is what gets the assembled height to 18 ft. The file is a strip, not a poster.

Keep the name and the one offer in the upper part of that strip. The bottom of the cloth sits nearer the planter, the car hood and the people walking past. Type that lives only in the bottom third is type the reader does not get.

Which Height Fits the Spot?

Choose height by the space around the flag and the distance to the reader. The product family is sold for storefronts, open houses, car lots, events, festivals, booths, restaurants, and drive-by promotions. Shorter sizes suit entrances and indoor use, while taller sizes carry farther from the road.

• An entrance, indoor space, or tight storefront area: 9 ft or 10.5 ft. These are the shorter choices, and their printed graphics are 23.5 x 78.5 in and 24 x 104 in.
• A lot, open house, market, or event where the flag needs more printed area: 14 ft. Its 28 x 138 in graphic is the widest of the four and is the default configuration on the product page.
• Open frontage where roadside visibility is the priority: 18 ft. Its 24 x 183.5 in graphic is the longest and uses a five-section pole.

A taller kit does not create more width. The 18 ft graphic returns to 24 inches wide, while the 14 ft graphic is 28 inches wide. Choose the 18 ft kit for height and the 14 ft kit when the extra four inches of printed width better fits the mark.

The use case does not change the pole specification. The assembled height, printed graphic dimensions, and base selection are the facts to compare.

How Should the Artwork Be Built?

The cloth is about two feet wide. That is the whole design width, at every height except the 14 ft, which is 28 inches.

One name. One offer, or one arrow, or one "open." A menu, a paragraph, and a row of sponsor logos will not read on a panel this narrow. Dye sublimation prints full color, so a photograph can go on the cloth, but small type over a photo remains hard to read at normal viewing distance.

Leave a margin inside the graphic size. The flag is hemmed, and type that touches the edge of the file gets crowded by that hem. Center the readable line in the upper half and let the lower half be color, a simple shape, or the continuation of the mark.

You see a free proof with every order before anything prints. Check it at arm's length. If the name disappears when you stop zooming, it will disappear from the sidewalk.

Which Base Does a Feather Flag Need?

The kit includes a ground stake. That spike is for grass and dirt. It swivels in the wind. It is the wrong base for a sidewalk, a parking lot or a trade show floor.

The 14 ft single-sided kit opens at $224.69 with the ground stake. Selecting another base changes that configured total:

The same base menu is available at the other heights. The catalog does not publish a tested wind rating for this flag, so do not treat any base as proof of a specific limit. Match the mount to the surface. The ground stake is for soft ground, the cross base is for hard floors, the water bag adds fillable weight to the cross base, and the square base is the listed 22 lb option.

Every flag and pole kit ships with a standard soft carry bag. A heavy duty hard case is an upgrade on the same page when the pole set travels often and you want a crush resistant box. Flag only is a replacement graphic for a pole set you already own. It does not include the pole, the spike or the bag. Order flag only when the hardware is already in the closet and the cloth is what faded.

Common Feather Flag Ordering Mistakes

• Choosing a 9 ft flag for roadside use without checking the setback and viewing distance. Shorter sizes suit entrances and indoor use; taller sizes are for visibility from the road.
• Choosing an 18 ft flag for an entrance or indoor space without measuring available height and clearance. Confirm the display area before ordering the tallest kit.
• Putting the only readable line in the bottom third of the graphic. Planters and parked cars cover it. Keep the name and the one offer in the upper part of the cloth.
• Choosing a ground stake for pavement. The stake is for grass and soft ground. Concrete, tile, and indoor floors need a hard-surface base.
• Designing the file at the assembled height instead of the graphic size. A 14 ft flag's cloth is 28 by 138 inches.
• Assuming the back of a single sided flag is blank. It is a mirror. If both directions have to read the phone number, that is a different graphic choice, not a taller pole.

How Fast Does a Feather Flag Ship?

The flag is printed in the USA and ships nationwide. Next business day production starts after you approve the free proof included with every order. Shipping is a flat $10 to any US address, on top of production, so the pole is not in your hands the morning after you upload a file. Put the event date in the order notes if the flag has to be on site by a day you cannot move.
