A light pole on a busy street is a billboard most businesses never use.

Custom pole banners turn those poles into a run of matching signs that people see from the sidewalk and the car. We size them to your crossbar and print them in full color, so a theater, a downtown or a campus can carry one message all the way down the block.

The fly edge is the loose end of a flag, the one that snaps in the wind, and it's where a flag starts to fray first.

So it's the edge we stitch the most. Our horizontal flags are double stitched along the top and bottom with a quadruple stitched fly edge, then finished with a header and brass grommets on the pole side. This is a hem going through the machine in our shop.

When you're comparing custom flags, ask how the fly edge is finished.

Your logo's blue shouldn't come out a different blue on your flag.

Add your Pantone codes to the order notes at checkout and we'll match them. Our custom feather flags are printed with dye sublimation, straight onto polyester fabric rather than screen printed, and polyester holds printed color better than nylon does.

If you're ordering flags for more than one location, use the same codes every time and every site stays the same color.

If your building has a flagpole, it can fly your company flag as well as the American flag.

The order matters. The American flag goes at the top and your company flag flies below it on the same pole. The U.S. Flag Code says no other flag goes above it, and most offices keep the company flag the same size or smaller. Our horizontal flags come in 3x5, 4x6, 5x8 and 6x10 with a header and brass grommets, and they're made in the USA.

Pick the same size as your American flag and the pair will look right together.

Veterans Day is November 11, and schools, towns and local posts will raise a flag at a ceremony that morning.

If yours has been flying all year, take a look at it now. Faded red stripes and a frayed fly end are the signs it's ready to be replaced. Our printed American flags are dye sublimated on polyester flag cloth, finished with a header and grommets, and made in the USA.

Free shipping takes 7 to 10 business days from order to arrival, and faster options are available at checkout.

How long does an outdoor flag last? In a harsh climate, flying every day and never brought inside, one of our custom flags can go 12 to 18 months before it shows the first signs of fading.

Fall weather is when that time goes fastest. Wind whips the fly end and rain soaks the fabric day after day. Bringing outdoor advertising flags in overnight or during storms stretches the life of every flag you own.

If this is your flag's second fall, look at the fly end first. That's where wear shows.

Every feather flag pole kit comes with the same hardware: an aluminum pole with a fiberglass flex tip, a fiberglass ground stake, a bungee loop and a washer. Here's how it goes together.

The stake goes into the ground first and the washer slides down onto it. Join the pole sections, slide the flag's sleeve onto the pole and seat the flex tip in the top corner, then hook the bungee loop through the bottom grommet so the flag stays taut. Set the pole down over the stake and it's up.

On hard ground, a rubber mallet makes the stake easier.

Walk around the back of a single sided flag and you'll see your design in reverse.

That's normal. Our custom flags are printed through the fabric, so the back shows a mirror image of the front. A double sided flag is two printed flags sewn together with a blockout layer between them, so both sides read the right way. The extra layer makes it heavier, so it needs a bit more wind to fly.

If people see your advertising flag from both directions and it carries words, go double sided. If it's mostly color and shape, single sided does the job.

A banner tied only at the corners flaps in the wind, and a flapping banner is hard to read.

That's why our custom banners get brass grommets in all four corners and every two feet along the edge on larger sizes. On a fence you can tie off every grommet, so the banner sits flat against the wire from one end to the other. Zip ties or bungee cords both work.

If yours is going on a fence at a fall fair or a game, tie off every grommet, not just the corners.

Before you pick a banner size, measure where it's going to hang.

A 2x7 fits over a doorway or across the front of a table. A 3x8 or a 4x10 suits a fence at a game or a storefront wall. A 5x20 is for a building face or a long run of fence people see from across the road. We print custom banners from 2x7 up to 5x20 on 13oz vinyl, plus custom sizes, and every one gets brass grommets in the corners.

If holiday hours or a Black Friday sale is coming, now's a good time to measure.
