Feather Convex Flag (Flags)
Feather Convex Flag
The curved-edge feather flag. Four heights from 9 to 18 ft, every base we carry, double sided available. Printed in North Dallas.
The curve is the point
A convex feather flag bows outward along the leading edge instead of running straight. It is a softer silhouette, and it catches the eye slightly differently — the curve keeps a readable shape even when the flag is hanging still on a windless morning, which is when a tall narrow flag is at its least visible.
It is the shape people choose for hospitality, retail, wellness, salons, food and anything consumer-facing. The angled flag tends to go to auto, trade, fitness and corporate.
Four heights
| Small — 9 ft | Indoor use, covered walkways, sidewalk positions and anywhere headroom is limited. |
|---|---|
| Medium — 10.5 ft | Priced the same as the small, so take this one if you have the height. |
| Large — 14 ft | The roadside standard. Visible from a car at speed. |
| X-Large — 18 ft | Setback frontages and multi-lane roads. Put it on a weighted base. |
Print thru, reverse, or double sided
Three options that sound similar and are not. This is the choice people most often get wrong.
| Single Sided Print Thru | Printed on one side, with the ink showing through the fabric. From the front it reads correctly. From the back you see the same artwork in mirror image. Fine for most sites, and the cheapest option. |
|---|---|
| Single Sided Print Thru Reverse | The same thing, mirrored at the printing stage. Use it when the side people will mostly see is the one that would otherwise show backwards — for example a flag positioned so traffic approaches from the far side. |
| Double Sided | Two printed layers with a blockout between them, so the artwork reads correctly from both directions and nothing shows through. This is what you want where people pass on both sides. |
Double sided costs noticeably more — it is close to a 50% increase, because it is genuinely two printed panels and a liner rather than one. Worth it beside a walkway or a two-way road. Not worth it against a building, a fence or a wall, where nobody will ever see the back.
Bases: what the flag is standing on decides this
Pick the base for the surface, not for the price. A flag on the wrong base is a flag on the ground.
| Ground Stake (included) | A spike that drives into soft ground — grass, dirt, landscaping beds. It costs nothing extra and it is the most stable option there is, because the ground is doing the work. It will not go into concrete, asphalt or a paved forecourt. |
|---|---|
| Cross Base | A folding cross-shaped foot for hard surfaces. Sidewalks, parking lots, showroom floors, expo halls. Folds flat for transport. |
| Cross Base + Water Bag | The cross base with a fillable weight ring. Fill it on site and pour it out when you leave, so you are not carrying the weight in the car. This is the one for an exposed parking lot on a windy day. |
| Square Base | A solid square foot for hard surfaces. Tidier footprint than the cross base and less of a trip hazard in a doorway or a narrow walkway. |
| Cross Base + Ground Stake | Both, in one order. For anyone who moves the same flag between a grass verge one weekend and a parking lot the next. |
If you only ever set up in one place, buy the base for that place. If you do not know yet where the flag will live, the cross base plus ground stake combination covers everything.

Who puts these out around North Dallas
Car dealerships and service centers along the Tollway, where a row of flags is how you signal a sale from a road nobody slows down on. Restaurants and coffee shops in strip centers, where the storefront is set back and the sign is not visible until you have already passed the turn. Apartment communities advertising availability. Gyms and studios during January and back-to-school. Open houses and new developments. Churches, schools and festivals running weekend events.
The common problem is the same: a business sitting in a place where drivers do not look, on a road where they are moving. A flag works because it moves — peripheral vision picks up motion long before it reads words.

Questions we get asked
Slightly, at the very edge. Keep type and logos away from the curved leading edge and the tail, and design for the flat middle of the flag. Send us the artwork and we will show you where it lands before we print.
It flexes, which is what it is meant to do — a flag that does not move does not get noticed. In sustained high wind, bring it in. If your site is genuinely exposed, a teardrop flag holds its outline better because the fabric is tensioned back to the pole.
Yes. A row of flags in a coordinated set reads far better than one on its own, and ordering them together means the colors match exactly across the set.
Usually. Temporary signage rules vary across the North Dallas cities and most retail leases have their own. Check with the city and your landlord before ordering.
