When Cheap Feather Flags Cost More

While it's tempting to go for the lowest price, extremely cheap feather flags often end up costing more in the long run:

Quality issues with budget flags:

• Thin fabrics that tear easily

• Flimsy poles that bend or break
• Hidden costs for essential accessories

What "cheap" should mean: Getting quality custom feather flags at competitive prices through smart buying decisions, not compromising on essential quality features.

Smart Ways to Reduce Your Feather Flag Costs

1. Plan Your Order Quantities

Combine multiple campaigns or locations into one order to access volume discounts.

2. Choose Standard Sizes

Custom sizes often carry 20 - 30% premiums. Standard sizes offer the best value.

3. Consider Single-Sided for Specific Applications

If your flags will be against walls or viewed from one direction, save on double-sided printing.

4. Order During Off-Peak Periods

Avoid summer rush periods when possible for better pricing and faster delivery of your feather banner.

5. Bundle with Other Products

Many suppliers offer discounts when ordering flags alongside banners, displays, or other promotional materials.

Typical UK Production and Delivery Times

• Standard production: 5 - 7 working days
• Express production: 2 - 3 working days (+£15-25 fee)
• Same-day service: Available in some areas for existing designs (+£35 - £50 fee)

Planning tip: Order at least 10 working days before your event to avoid rush charges and ensure availability.

Calculating Your Total Investment For Custom Feather Flags

Here's a realistic example for a small business wanting three feather flags for a summer promotion:

3x Standard feather flags (70cm x 230cm):

• Flags: 3 × £21.47 = £64.41
• Double-sided printing: 3 × £10 = £30
• Basic pole sets: 3 × £20 = £60
• Design service: £35
• Delivery: £10

Total: £199.41 (approximately £66 per complete feather banner setup)

Is the Investment Worth It?

Feather Flags typically pay for themselves quickly through increased visibility and foot traffic. Most businesses report:

• 15 - 25% increase in enquiries when flags are displayed
• Cost per impression often under £0.01
• Flags lasting 12 - 18 months with proper care
• Return on investment within 2 - 3 months for most applications

Getting the Best Value for Your Feather Flag Investment

When comparing suppliers, don't just look at the headline price for a feather flag. Consider:

• Total cost including poles and bases
• Quality of materials and printing
• Design support included
• Delivery times and costs
• Warranty or replacement policies
• Customer service and support

The cheapest option isn't always the best value if it means poor quality, hidden costs, or unreliable service.
