Street Flags and Pole Banners That Sit in the Streetscape
A quiet, high-visibility way to mark a town, event, or message, without adding another job to someone’s week.
Street flags and pole banners are the same practical job: a custom printed banner made to hang on poles people already walk or drive past. Local councils use them for community messages. Clubs and event organisers use them when a street needs to feel like something is on.
Who These Are For
If you work in local government, this is the page for community outcomes people who need residents to see a message on the way to the shops, school, or the park. No screens to maintain. Nothing in anyone’s face.
The same product also suits clubs, organisations, and businesses that already have display poles, or can describe the hardware they plan to use.
- Australian local government authorities (one council at a time, custom to your poles)
- Community events, commemorations, and seasonal street dressing
- Clubs and organisations that need a festive or informative street presence
What I Make
Every job is custom. Flags are made to suit the poles and fittings you already have, rather than forcing a one-size kit onto your street. Woven and knitted polyester is used for toughness; it looks light in the air but is built for repeated outdoor use.
Most street flags are printed so they remain readable from both sides on translucent fabric. The reverse is a mirror image. If a logo must read correctly from both directions, ask about double-sided construction: it uses heavier fabric so the design does not show through.
- Custom width and drop to your poles (about 500 mm is a usual minimum width, not a hard rule)
- Made to existing street or site infrastructure where you can describe it
- Stitched seams, with webbing along the spine on most designs where wear is highest
- Single-sided (readable both ways, reverse mirrored) or double-sided when the logo must read correctly both sides
- Layout help from your artwork or a plain-English brief

- Single-sided or double-sided, if you already know
- Artwork: print-ready files, logo, or a written brief

Frequently Asked Questions
What do street flags cost?
- Price depends on size, construction (including double-sided), and quantity. Send your pole size, how many you need, and the artwork, and I'll quote it.
Can we get pack pricing or a sample for a council job?
- Yes, when the numbers make sense for your job. Tell me whether you need a trial run, an event pack, or a sample for an LGA, and I'll say what I can do.
Is there a minimum order?
- Two flags is usually the practical minimum, because setup for a single flag rarely makes sense. Large runs are possible with notice. I'll confirm when I quote.
How long does production take?
- Production is often around two weeks once artwork is print-ready. Design help adds time. Tell me your install or event date up front.
How long should pole banners last outdoors?
- That depends on where they're installed. Sun, wind and exposure can vary enormously from one site to another, so when I quote I'll tell you what I would reasonably expect for your location and what I can do if a banner fails unusually early.
Can we reuse street flags next year?
- Yes, until weather and UV catch up with them. I use woven and knitted polyester with stitched seams, and I have flown my own office flags in strong wind. Ask me what to expect for your site.
Got Poles, a Date, and a Message?
Send photos of the poles and what the flags need to say. I'll quote the job, or tell you if a different banner type is a better fit. No obligation.
