Summary
Custom-printed flags are dynamic marketing tools that help boost your brand visibility during events. Be it a teardrop, square, or rectangular flag, this detailed guide will help you set it up to draw attention to your brand or event.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Selecting the Base Attachment
- Choose the appropriate base attachment based on your setup location. Options include ground stakes for grassy areas and outdoor cross bases for hard surfaces.
Step 2: Preparing the Base
- For ground stakes, drive them into the ground using your hands or a hammer, avoiding hitting the section where the flag attaches to prevent damage.
- Assemble the outdoor cross base by inserting the poles and securing them with screws. Fill the water bag for added stability.
Step 3: Setting Up Teardrop or Square Flags
- Unzip the flag case and remove the poles and fabric.
- For teardrop flags, insert the poles into the designated pockets. Ensure proper tension by pulling the fabric tight and tying off the ends securely.
- Attach the flag to the base attachment, ensuring it can swivel freely to accommodate wind movement.
Step 4: Setting Up Rectangular Flags
- Identify the bottom and top ends of the flag.
- Attach the vertical poles to the elbow fittings at the top of the flag, ensuring a secure fit.
- Slide the horizontal pole through the fabric sleeve at the top of the flag, creating tension by pulling the fabric and securing it to the pole.
Step 5: Attaching Flags to the Base
- Once the flag is assembled, attach it to the base attachment securely. Ensure the flag can move freely with the wind.
Step 6: Adjusting and Finalizing
- Make any necessary adjustments to ensure the flag is properly positioned and visible.
- Double-check the tension and stability of the flag to prevent any issues during display.
Step 7: Taking Down the Flag
- To disassemble the flag, start by detaching it from the base attachment.
- Remove any ties or attachments securing the fabric to the poles.
- Carefully fold the fabric and disassemble the poles for storage.
Step 8: Storing the Flag
- Store the flag components neatly in their respective bags or cases to prevent damage and ensure easy setup for future use.
