Single-Sided vs Double-Sided Flags

Single-sided flags are printed on one layer of knitted polyester with 80-90% show-through on the reverse. Double-sided flags consist of two knitted polyester layers with a blockout membrane sandwiched between them — all three layers stitched together for full opacity on both sides. Please note that flag bases are not covered by warranty when used with double-sided flags due to the additional weight.

Who Is It For?

Fin flags are popular with retailers, car dealerships, event organisers, sports clubs, hospitality venues and businesses of all sizes across Brighton & Hove and the wider UK. Ideal for outdoor advertising, trade shows, corporate events, sports days, festivals and storefronts where a distinctive, high-impact flag format is required.

Care & Maintenance

Wash in a regular washing machine at 30°C with no detergents — allow to dry completely before storing
Dismantle during adverse weather — do not use in winds exceeding Beaufort Scale 4 (13-18mph)
Ensure the flag does not catch or snag on its pole or surrounding objects
Do not place poles too close together
Air pollution may cause white areas to grey over time — UV exposure can cause gradual fading
Realistic maximum lifespan of a regularly used outdoor flag is six months

Artwork Setup

As standard, single-sided flag templates are set up with the front face of the design and the base and pole on the left-hand side. If you require the pole on the right-hand side, flip only the template shapes horizontally — do not flip the flag design itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a fin flag and a feather flag?

Fin flags and feather flags are both tall outdoor display flags mounted on a pole, but they differ in shape. Feather flags have a curved, tapered shape that moves freely in the wind. Fin flags have a straighter, more structured profile — giving a cleaner, more graphic display suited to designs with strong vertical layouts. See our feather flags to compare.

What material are fin flags printed on?

Fin flags are printed on 117gsm knitted polyester using a dye-sublimation process, producing vibrant, long-lasting colour with 80-90% show-through on the reverse of the flag.

What sizes are available?

We offer four sizes — Small (2560mm standing height), Medium (3150mm), Large (4080mm) and Extra Large (5140mm). Each size comes with the appropriate number of pole pieces and a choice of base options to suit your ground type.

What is the wind rating for fin flags?

Our fin flags are rated to Beaufort Scale 4 (13-18mph). Always dismantle your flag during adverse weather conditions including strong winds, heavy rain or storms to prevent damage and prolong the life of your flag.

What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided flags?

Single-sided flags are printed on one layer of knitted polyester — the design shows through at 80-90% on the reverse. Double-sided flags have two printed layers with a blockout membrane between them for full opacity on both sides. Note that flag bases are not covered by warranty when used with double-sided flags due to the additional weight.

Which base should I choose for my flag?

Base choice depends on the size of your flag and the type of ground it will be used on. Options typically include ground spike (for grass or soil), cross base (for hard surfaces) and water base (for hard surfaces requiring additional ballast). Always choose a base appropriate for the size of flag you are ordering.
