What our customers say

4.9from 7,200+ reviews
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.
Heidi B.NZ
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!
Simon YNZ
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 flag pole accessories does your flag actually need?

Most flags need three things to look right on the day: a pole that matches the flag's shape and size, a base that suits the surface it will stand on, and a bag to get everything there in one piece. If you've just ordered a custom flag, or your old pole has bent or snapped, choose in this order: pole first, then base, then bag.

Every price quoted for this range of flag pole accessories is the complete price for the hardware, so you can compare options before you add them to your cart.

  • Poles: blade, teardrop and rectangle shapes in matching sizes, plus fibreglass, telescopic and specialty poles.
  • Bases: cross bases, ground spikes, water bags, weight plates, wall bases and car bases.
  • Transport: packing bags in four lengths.
  • Vehicle and event extras: car, window, mirror and headrest hardware, plus car show arch banners.

How do you match the pole shape and size to your flag?

The pole shape has to follow the flag's shape. A blade flag needs a blade pole, a teardrop flag needs a teardrop flag pole, and a rectangle flag needs a rectangle pole, because the top section of each pole is shaped to hold that outline taut. Size works the same way: pick the pole size that matches your flag size.

Flag Poles, complete from NZD 234

Options: Blade Pole - S, Blade Pole - M, Blade Pole - L, Teardrop Pole - S, Teardrop Pole - M, Teardrop Pole - L, Rectangle Pole - S, Rectangle Pole - M, Rectangle Pole - L, Deluxe Blade Pole - XS, Deluxe Blade Pole - S, Deluxe Blade Pole - M, Deluxe Blade Pole - L, Deluxe Teardrop Pole - XS, Deluxe Teardrop Pole - S, Deluxe Teardrop Pole - M, Deluxe Teardrop Pole - L, Deluxe Rectangle Pole - S, Deluxe Rectangle Pole - M, Deluxe Rectangle Pole - L and Standard Fiberglass Pole.

Standard or Deluxe?

Both are sold as complete sets. Only the Deluxe line offers an XS size, for blade and teardrop flags. If your flag is a small one for a shop entrance or a compact exhibition stand, that points you towards Deluxe. Compare the specifications on the product page before you decide.

Other pole styles

  • Telescopic Flag Pole, complete from NZD 196: an extendable flag pole that packs down shorter for travel.
  • Uni-Fit Flag Pole, complete from NZD 252, and Uni-Fit Pole Flag Accessory Kit, complete from NZD 455. If you want a feather flag pole kit in a single order, the product page lists what each one includes.
  • R Shape Advertising Flag Pole & Packing Bag, complete from NZD 200: the pole and its bag sold together.
  • Custom Flag Pole, complete from NZD 271: for when a standard shape won't suit.
  • Giant Flag Pole & Base, complete from NZD 1992: pole and base together for a large statement display.

Did you buy your flag elsewhere? Match the shape first. Then check the flag's measurements and pole sleeve against the pole details on the product page. If they don't clearly line up, ask the team before you order.

Which flag pole stand suits grass, concrete or an indoor floor?

The surface decides the base. Choose the wrong one and even a good pole will lean, spin or topple.

Grass, sand and soft ground

A flag pole ground spike is pushed into the earth and the pole sits on top. It is the usual choice for market days, school fields and sports grounds.

Concrete, paving and indoor floors

Cross bases sit flat on hard surfaces. They suit dealership forecourts, shopfronts, a trade show booth and an expo stand floor.

Adding weight for wind

Outdoors, a cross base on its own may not be enough. Flag Water Bags add weight to a cross base and are filled on site, so they travel light. For more mass, look at the iron and steel plate options in Flag Bases & Weight Plates. As a rule, the more exposed the spot, the heavier the base. In strong gusts it is safer to take the flag down.

Walls and entrances

A wall base acts as a flag pole holder fixed to a wall or post. It works well beside a doorway or at the edge of an exhibition stand.

How do you carry, store and reorder your flag hardware?

Flag Packing Bags are complete from NZD 166 in HD1350 - Compact, HD1490 - Standard, HD1570 - Long and HD1600 - Extra Long. Pick the length that fits your longest packed-down pole, so the sections don't rub or bend in the boot.

Care between events

  • Dry poles, flags and water bags fully before packing them away.
  • Pack spikes and plates separately so they don't dent pole sections.
  • Check that every section slots together before the event, not on the day.

Ordering with confidence

  • The production lead time is shown on each product page. Compare it with your event date before ordering.
  • If you're ordering a printed flag at the same time, you can request a free 2D mockup, and nothing prints until you approve the artwork.
  • Standard, non-custom hardware can be returned if it is unused and in its original packaging. Custom-printed graphics are not returnable after proof approval, and print errors are reprinted free.

When you reorder flag pole accessories later, simply match the same pole shape and size to keep your setup consistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flag pole accessories do I need for a feather flag? +
You need a pole that matches the flag's shape and size, a base that suits the surface, and ideally a packing bag. For a blade-shaped feather flag, choose a Blade Pole in the matching size. Then add a ground spike for grass, or a cross base for hard floors with a water bag outdoors. A packing bag keeps everything together between events.
Will your flag poles fit a flag I bought from another supplier? +
They can, as long as the flag's shape, size and pole sleeve match the pole you choose. First confirm whether your flag is blade, teardrop or rectangle shaped. Then check its measurements against the details on the pole's product page. If anything is unclear, send the store your flag measurements before ordering, so you don't end up with a pole that won't fit.
How do I stop my flag blowing over in the wind? +
Use a heavier base and add extra weight. On hard ground, choose a heavier cross base such as Cross Base - 4.3kg and add a Flag Water Bag. The iron and steel plates in Flag Bases & Weight Plates add even more mass. On grass, a ground spike driven firmly into the soil holds well. In strong gusts, take the flag down to be safe.
Can a flag pole ground spike be used on concrete? +
No, a ground spike needs soft ground it can be pushed into, such as grass, soil or sand. On concrete, paving, decking or indoor floors, use a cross base instead. Add a water bag or weight plate if the spot is exposed. Many event teams carry both a spike and a cross base, so they're covered whatever surface the organiser allocates.
Is there a portable flag pole NZ clubs can carry to weekend games? +
Yes. The Telescopic Flag Pole, complete from NZD 196, packs down shorter for travel. The Hand Flag Pole, complete from NZD 154, suits supporters on the sideline. Pair any pole with a Flag Packing Bag in HD1350 - Compact, HD1490 - Standard, HD1570 - Long or HD1600 - Extra Long, so your poles, spikes and bases stay together in the car.
Which vehicle flag pole is best for a car show? +
It depends on how you want to mount the flag. The Magnetic Car Flag Pole, complete from NZD 90, attaches to metal bodywork. Car Window Flag Hardware, complete from NZD 219, fits at the window, and Suction Cup Flag Hardware, complete from NZD 167, attaches to glass. If you plan to drive with a flag fitted, check the product details first.
What is the difference between Deluxe and standard flag poles? +
Both are complete pole sets in blade, teardrop and rectangle shapes, but only the Deluxe range offers an XS size: Deluxe Blade Pole - XS and Deluxe Teardrop Pole - XS. Flag Poles are complete from NZD 234, and the price varies by option. Compare the specifications on the product page, then choose the pole that matches your flag size and how often you'll use it.
Where can I buy a flag pole NZ-wide with a matching base? +
You can order poles, cross bases, ground spikes, water bags and packing bags together from this collection, so the whole setup arrives as one order. Backdropsource has made printed fabric displays and flags since 2004. The production lead time is shown on each product page, so check it against your event date before you order.
Do desk flag poles hold one flag or two? +
Both options are available. Desk Flag Pole (Single Flag) is complete from NZD 97. Desk Flag Pole (Double Flags) is complete from NZD 166 and suits two flags side by side on a reception counter or meeting table. For a mini feather-style flag on a counter or trade show booth table, the Table Feather Flag Pole is complete from NZD 76.
