In today’s crowded marketplace, businesses and event organizers need solutions that stand out, last long, and remain easy to use. Custom vertical flags, also called feather flags, are one of the most practical and impactful choices. Their tall, narrow shape rises above the crowd, making them ideal for storefronts, events, festivals, sports, and even home displays.
But not all flags are equal. Many users complain about fading prints, tearing in strong winds, or difficult installation. This is where BillyPrint Feather Flags excel — built with durable polyester, fade-resistant inks, and tested to resist winds up to 37 mph. Each kit includes poles, bases, and a carry bag, ensuring a professional yet easy setup.
What Are Custom Vertical Flags?
Custom vertical flags are upright banners designed for maximum visibility. Unlike horizontal flags, they extend vertically, occupying minimal floor space while capturing attention effectively. Usually made from 110GSM knitted polyester, they feature high-resolution, full-color prints of logos, artwork, or text.
Key Features:
- Reinforced stitching to resist fraying
- Fade-resistant digital printing
- Options for pole sleeves or grommets
- Wide size range for indoor and outdoor use
BillyPrint enhances these basics with single- and double-sided printing, modular aluminum/fiberglass poles, and base options for any surface.
How Vertical Flags Differ from Horizontal Flags
Horizontal flags stretch wide but struggle in narrow areas. Custom vertical flags use height to stand out, requiring concise messaging. BillyPrint solves the issue of reversed or ghosted text with true double-sided printing, ensuring clarity from every angle.
Popular Uses for Custom Vertical Flags
- Business Advertising: Highlight sales, grand openings, or promotions.
- Events & Festivals: Direct visitors, display sponsors, or decorate entrances.
- Sports & Team Spirit: Show team logos and slogans at stadiums and fan zones.
- Residential Displays: Add seasonal or personal charm to gardens and driveways.
Designing Your Custom Vertical Flag
- Material Selection: Polyester is lightweight, tear-resistant, and colorfast. BillyPrint fabrics are UV-tested.
- Colors & Graphics: Use bold, high-contrast designs. Digital printing ensures sharp results up to 600 DPI.
- Size Choice: Select height based on visibility and environment.
- Double-Sided Prints: Perfect for open spaces where both directions matter.
Printing & Manufacturing
BillyPrint uses:
- Digital printing for detailed, multi-color designs
- Screen printing for bold, simple graphics

- Slide fabric sleeve or attach via grommets
