Why Choose a Single Sided Flag vs. Double Sided Flag? This depends on your flag design graphics ... Big BOLD Simple Text is most effective to grab attention!
Single Sided Flag Banners: The flag graphics on the front of a single sided flag banner reads correctly, the back side is reversed and will read backwards. The dye sub inks bleed through between 80% to 90% depending on the flag colors so the back side will be visible. The human eye will see and read simple words correctly such as “OPEN” “CLEARANCE” “RESTAURANT” and many more. Single sided flags are most effective when kept simple with large bold text to catch the eye. A single sided flag will last longer outdoors since the flag banner material allows the wind to flow through the flag more easily for less resistance in the wind. The flag banner pole edge is finished with webbing for added durability, the outer edges are hemmed.
Double Sided Flag Banners: Two flag banners are sewn back to back with a block out inner liner to keep the opposite side from showing through. Both sides of the flag graphics read correctly. Double sided flags are best for indoor events since customers will be viewing the flag up close and read time is longer. Double flags are also the best option for more detailed designs and anytime the graphic needs to read correctly on both sides. Both flag banner pole edges are finished with webbing for added durability, the outer edges are hemmed together with a liner.
