Excellent print quality. We were so happy with our the Shell scheme Exhibition Graphics we got from BackDrop Source NZ. We were provided tracking details through WhatsApp which was odd, but everything arrived as expected. And the quality of the graphics was very good. We used them at an Expo over the weekend just been and everything was the size and quality we wanted.

Great quality and exceptionally fast delivery Very happy with the result. Our backdrop is light and very portable, and looks excellent on display. Thank you! In the photo it’s just the wall at the back.
Paul DNZ
Easy to assemble and looks great I was pleasantly surprised how easy the backdrop was to put together (and disassemble afterwards) and how good it looked on the night of our event. Made our workshop guests feel like celebrities - all that was missing was the red carpet!

Amazing service and product Super fast team.. helpful on live chat always got back to me within 10 minutes on email about art work.. great price.. their process is very quick and slick ..
Justin L.NZ
Fabulous Service and Product We have ordered new skins for our media wall 3 or 4 times in the past, and have always been happy with the product, which is so easy to use and change out. This time we had a few additional requests; we wanted a double-sided product, had a fairly low-resolution image we wanted up to 3m wide... and of course, we needed it in a hurry! The team were amazing to deal with. The product arrived early, and we were blown away by the absolutely outstanding quality of the image. Thank you so much, we will be customers for life!

Which custom flag banners suit your shopfront, event or club?

Start with where the flag will stand and who needs to see it. Most buyers fall into one of three groups, and each group has its own set of shapes.

Shopfronts, footpaths and car parks

Pole-mounted styles stand tall enough to be seen from across the road. These include the Teardrop Fabric Flag, the straight, convex, concave and angled feather styles, the Shark Fin Fabric Flag and the Rectangle Fabric Flag. The Leaf Banner Fabric Flag and Spinning Dart Banner Flag add extra movement for grand openings and seasonal promotions.

Expos, markets and sports days

Tall flags mark a marquee or entrance. The Podium Flag (Small), Custom Desk Flags and a table-top feather flag bring branding to counter height on an exhibition stand or trade show booth. The Racing Fabric Air Gate frames a start or finish line, and Custom Body Flags or Custom Backpack Flags turn staff and volunteers into moving signs.

Vehicles, supporters and smaller spaces

  • Fleets and rallies: Custom Car Antenna Flags, Custom Car Window Flags, Custom Magnetic Car Flags and Custom Car Flags
  • Supporters and schools: Custom Printed Hand Flags and Custom Bike Flags
  • Gardens, courses and walls: Custom Garden Flags, Custom Golf Flags, Wall Mounted Fabric Promotional Flags and the Giant Fabric Flag
  • Windows and quick attachment: Custom Clip Flags and Custom Suction Cup Flags

If you decide on the use first, you only need to compare custom flags that fit the job, not every style at once.

How tall should feather flags and teardrop flags be?

Pole flag sizes are listed as overall length from top to bottom, so the size you pick is close to the height of the finished set. As a rough guide:

  • 1.5m L to 2.1m L: doorways, foyers, indoor events and sheltered courtyards
  • 2.4m L to 3.4m L: footpaths, market stalls, open homes and school fields
  • 4m L to 4.9m L: roadsides, car yards, large venues and anywhere people approach from a distance

The Rectangle Fabric Flag also comes in 4.3m L and 5.2m L for very tall, wide layouts.

Shape and artwork

A teardrop holds a rounded outline that suits a logo or short slogan. Feather shapes are taller and narrower, which leaves more room for a vertical word or a phone number. The convex, concave, straight and angled versions differ mainly in the curve of the outer edge. Shark fin and rectangle shapes give a wider print area for longer messages.

Uni-Fit pole versions

Several shapes are also offered with a Uni-Fit Pole in lettered sizes. For example, the Straight Feather Flag with Uni-Fit Pole comes in S-2.3m, M-3m, L-4m and XL-4.9m, and the Teardrop Feather Flag with Uni-Fit Pole comes in S-2m, M-2.7m, L-3.5m and XL-4.3m. Check each product page for the hardware supplied before you choose.

What do custom flag banners cost as a complete set?

Prices on this page are complete set prices, not the cost of the print on its own. That makes it easier to compare suppliers and to justify the spend to a manager or committee. Each product is priced per set, so you can order a single flag for a one-off event or several for a bigger site.

A few reference points from the range:

  • Tall pole flags: the Teardrop Fabric Flag and each fabric feather style start from NZD 282, and the Rectangle Fabric Flag starts from NZD 292
  • Lower-cost pole options: the Shark Fin Fabric Flag from NZD 218 and the Swooper Fabric Flag from NZD 130
  • Small formats: Custom Magnetic Car Flags from NZD 102, Custom Desk Flags from NZD 103 and Custom Printed Hand Flags from NZD 104

The price rises with height and options, so compare two sizes before you decide. If you already own the hardware, you can order a replacement print separately. Make sure it is clearly labelled as a replacement print before you add it to your cart.

Do you need single-sided or duplex flag printing?

Every flag is dye-sublimation printed onto fabric, so the colour sits in the material rather than on top of it. The main choice is whether people will see one side of the flag or both.

Single-sided

This is the standard choice for most shapes. The ink passes through the fabric, so the reverse side typically shows a mirror image of your design. Single-sided works well against a wall, beside a doorway or where foot traffic comes mainly from one direction.

Duplex (double-sided)

Duplex printing gives a readable design on both faces. This matters on a roadside with traffic in both directions or in the middle of a field. Options include:

  • Duplex Printing Teardrop Advertising Flag from NZD 266
  • Duplex Printing Blade Advertising Flag from NZD 244
  • Duplex Printing Rectangle Advertising Flag from NZD 215
  • Duplex Printing Garden Flags from NZD 106 and Duplex Printing Golf Flags from NZD 110

Will advertising flags stand up to NZ wind and rain?

A flag that keeps blowing over does more harm than good, so plan the setup around your site.

  1. Match the base to the ground. A spike suits grass and sand. Concrete, asphalt and indoor floors need a weighted or cross base. Check which options each product page offers.
  2. Size for exposure. On a windy coastal or open site, a shorter flag is often steadier than a taller one.
  3. Take it down in a gale. Banner flags are designed to move in the breeze, but strong gusts strain any pole.
  4. Store it dry. Let the fabric dry fully before you pack it away so it stays fresh for the next event.

For indoor work at an expo stand, a podium, desk or table-top flag sits on a counter and takes up no floor space.

How do you go from a logo to finished custom printed flags?

You don't need print-ready artwork to get started. Backdropsource has made custom printed fabric displays since 2004. The process is the same whether you order a single hand flag or a row of tall pole flags.

  1. Pick the shape, size and print option that suit your site.
  2. Send your logo and message, or ask for a free 2D mockup to see the layout on the flag shape.
  3. Check the proof carefully. Nothing prints until you approve it.
  4. Production starts after approval. The lead time is listed on each product page and is often 24 business hours.

If a flag arrives with a print error, it is reprinted free. Custom-printed flags are made to your design, so they can't be returned once you approve the proof. That is why it pays to check spelling, phone numbers and colours closely. If you are working to a set event date, allow time for proofing and delivery. See the FAQs below for flag-specific questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between feather flags and teardrop flags? +
The main difference is shape. A teardrop has a rounded top that keeps a logo visible even in light wind. Feather styles are taller and narrower, which suits a vertical word, slogan or phone number. Both come in several overall lengths. The Teardrop Fabric Flag and each fabric feather style start from NZD 282 complete, so you can choose on looks and message rather than price.
Can I order just one of your custom flag banners? +
Yes. Each product is priced as a complete set, so a single flag is fine for a one-off open home, market day or launch. Many buyers start with one tall flag at the entrance. They then add hand flags, a desk flag or car flags later, using the same logo and colours so the branding stays consistent across everything.
Where can I get custom flags NZ businesses can use outside a shop? +
Backdropsource prints pole flags for NZ shopfronts in teardrop, feather, shark fin and rectangle shapes. For a footpath, a flag around 2.4m L to 3.4m L is a common choice. It stands above passing pedestrians but stays compact enough for a shop entrance. Check your local council's rules on footpath signage before you set up.
What are good business flags NZ cafés and retailers can use in a small space? +
For tight spaces, choose a compact format. Custom Clip Flags and Custom Suction Cup Flags come in 23cm x 52cm, 28cm x 57cm and 28cm x 68cm. Custom Desk Flags come as a Single or Double Flag Stand, and Wall Mounted Fabric Promotional Flags start from NZD 106. A Podium Flag (Small) suits counters and reception desks.
What size hand flags work best for school sports days? +
For children and crowds, Custom Printed Hand Flags in 20cm x 30cm or 30cm x 46cm are easy to wave and still show a crest clearly. The 10cm x 15cm size suits giveaways. The 41cm x 61cm and 61cm x 91cm sizes work for team captains or sideline supporters who want something bigger. Complete prices start from NZD 104.
Which car flag suits a fleet, rally or wedding convoy? +
It depends on how you want the flag to attach. Custom Car Window Flags mount on a side window and come in rectangle, teardrop and blade shapes from NZD 158. Custom Car Antenna Flags fit an aerial and come in sizes starting at 10cm x 15cm. Custom Magnetic Car Flags start from NZD 102. For bicycles, Custom Bike Flags are the better fit.
Can I use a flag banner indoors at an expo stand? +
Yes. Shorter pole flags work well beside a trade show booth or exhibition stand, such as the Teardrop Fabric Flag in 1.5m L or 2.1m L. Check first that the venue allows freestanding signage. On a counter, a table feather flag in 14cm x 45cm or 22cm x 38cm keeps your branding visible without taking up any floor space.
What is the Racing Fabric Air Gate used for? +
It frames a start or finish line, an event entrance or a sponsor zone. It is popular at fun runs, cycling events, school cross-countries and club days. Sizes run from 2m W x 1.4m H to 4m W x 3m H, with complete prices from NZD 152. That range lets you match the gate to a narrow path or a wide course.
How many flags do I need to mark an event entrance? +
Two matching pole flags, one on each side, are usually enough to frame an entrance and guide people in. For a large field or car park, add one or two more along the approach route so people can spot the way in from a distance. Duplex printing on flags that face two directions keeps your logo readable to everyone.
