At approximately 4 metres wide and over 3 metres tall, this large-format event display is designed to make a serious visual impact at sporting events, festivals, charity events, corporate promotions and other indoor and outdoor occasions.

Why Choose an Arch Flag?

An Arch Flag provides something traditional flags and banners can't – a complete branded gateway that participants or visitors can walk, run or cycle through.

Its large size provides excellent visibility from a distance and makes it particularly effective as a start/finish arch for sporting events, an entrance marker at festivals or a branded focal point at promotional events.

At approximately 4m wide and 3.2m high, there's plenty of space for your event branding, company logo, promotional message or sponsor logos.

Three Base Options Available

The Arch Flag is available in three configurations depending on where it will be used.

Arch Flag with Parasol Bases

Supplied with two large fillable parasol bases, this option is designed for hard surfaces where ground spikes cannot be used.

Ideal for indoor events and suitable outdoor locations in appropriate weather conditions.

Arch Flag with Ground Spikes

Supplied with two metal ground spikes for securing the Arch Flag into suitable soft ground.

This is an excellent option for fields, sports grounds, festivals and other grassed outdoor event locations.

Arch Flag without Bases or Spikes

If you already have compatible bases or ground spikes, the Arch Flag can also be supplied without them.

High-Quality Dye-Sublimation Printing

Your bespoke Arch Flag graphic is printed onto Knitted Polyester using a dye-sublimation printing process.

This produces vibrant colours while achieving approximately 80–90% show-through on the reverse, allowing your branding to remain visible from both directions.

Please note that the Arch Flag is not available with separate double-sided graphics. The reverse image is created by the show-through of the single-sided dye-sublimation print.

Arch Flag Dimensions

Wind & Weather Conditions

The Arch Flag is suitable for outdoor use in appropriate weather conditions and is rated for winds up to Beaufort Force 4, approximately 13–18mph.

As with all large-format outdoor flags and displays, weather conditions should always be monitored and the Arch Flag should be taken down if wind speeds exceed the recommended limit.

Correct installation and the appropriate base or ground fixing should always be used for the location.

Caring for Your Arch Flag

Outdoor flags are naturally exposed to sunlight, pollution and changing weather conditions. Over time, UV exposure can cause some deterioration and fading, while airborne pollution can cause lighter and white areas of the fabric to become discoloured.

To help keep your Arch Flag looking its best, the fabric graphic can be washed in a domestic washing machine at 30°C without detergent.

Always allow the flag to dry completely before folding and storing it in its carry bag.
