Flag Banner Base Options For Every Occasion

OUTDOOR SPIKE BASEOur most common base: the outdoor spike base, comes free with every flag banner set order. Made of 24” long metal spikes with a ball bearing rotating connector. Ideal for flags that will be used outdoors in solid soil or grass. To prevent premature damage to your flags or poles, please keep the rotating connector of the spike base above the ground at all times. |
SPIKE BASE - HEAVY DUTY LARGEThe heavy-duty spike base is specifically designed for our extra large 13.5ft and 17ft feather banners. This superior base is especially fit for high wind speeds (over 40 MPH) and soft soil outdoor conditions. The extra length and thickness of the base keep the flag banner standing straight while preventing the banner from sinking too deep into the ground. |

SPIKE BASE - BASICThe spike base (basic model) is made without the ball-bearing rotating connector. The flag will rotate much less than the regular spike base, typically recommended for smaller 6-10ft flag banners under very mild weather conditions where less rotation is desired. |

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long will my bowhead banners last?
Our banner poles normally last anywhere between 3 to 10 years, while flags can last from 1-3 years, depending on how well you take care of them, the UV exposure and local climate. We recommend refreshing your design and fabric banners when you need the flags to look fresh again.
2. Will my printed fabric banner fabric fade?
Due to UV exposure, fabric banner colors will eventually fade. Depends majorly on the UV exposure of your area and the colors on the flag, specifically darker colors like black, deep red, and dark blue backgrounds will fade faster than designs with lighter colors. White, light blue, and yellow, those don’t fade in the sun as quickly. For more detailed info, please check here (https://lushbanners.com/uv-proof-printing.html).
3. Are Bowhead Banner and Bow Flag the same thing? Are Bowhead Banner and Feather Banners the same thing?
The terms Bowhead Banners and Bow Flags are interchangeable. Feather Banners however have a more streamlined feather bottom shape. While bowhead banners are similar to feather banners, they differ by having 3 different bottom shapes to choose from.
4. What are the differences between the Feather Banners and Bowhead Banners?
Great question! The two are very similar other than the bottom shapes. While feather banners have beautiful streamlined bottom shape like feathers, the bowhead has angled, straight and concave bottom options.
5. Will my design cover the entire flag or just a portion of it?
We’ll print to the very edge to achieve a “wide-screen” effect, except one-day printing, which the pole pockets portion will be covered by black or white canvas for speed production.
6. Are your banners fireproof?
Though our banners are highly resistant to heat, most of our polyester products will melt and burn if it comes in contact with flames. We recommend keeping all of your feather banners away from sparks or flames.
7. Are the flag poles interchangeable between different banner sizes?
Each of our flag poles are designed to support one single sized banner. A large flag pole is thicker, will not accommodate a small or medium banner, and vice versa. Be sure you match up the size of your banner with the correct sized pole. Let us know if you have questions or need to order extra banner or replacement poles.
8. Can I have different images on the front and back of double-sided bowhead banners?
Yes! You can choose to design one side or both so that the sides are the same or both sides are different. Be sure to select the Double Sided Printing (3 Layers) options when you select product options.
9. What we can see on the back of single-sided banner?
If you choose to print a single-sided flag banner, please know that to save you time and money, the design is bled through rather than printed on the back side. This means that though you can see the design on the other side, it will be mirrored, texts are not readable. If you want to have the same message appear perfectly on both sides, you will need to select the double-sided option.
