This all depends on the use case. The most common size of flag in the US is 3'x5'. This is the size that is likely flying outside of your local school, fire hall or government office. 3'x5' is the perfect size for any commercial pole 25' and lower as well as any parade, rodeo or crowd/pep rally flag.
Rodeo flags are generally 3'x5'. Though, at times, clients choose to get bigger flags, we often recommend against it, especially with double sided flags. The reason being that we need to consider the weight of the flag and how much airflow is needed for it to fly. It's no use having a large flag if the rider cannot ride fast enough or is not strong enough to have that flag flying on their ride around the ring. In short, 3'x5' is the tried and tested size that seems to work for the vast majority of rodeos.
It depends on where and how the flag is being used. If you are on the field and you are hoping to wave a large flag for fans on the stand to see, then 4'x6' or even 5'x8' would work. If you are in the stands, then it wouldn't be recommended to get anything larger than 3'x5' as it would hit the people around you.
If you're purchasing one of our break-through cheer flag banners, then 12’x4’, 10’x6’, 12’x8’, or 14’x10' are common sizes
Street pole banners are fairly standard in sizing:
2'x3', 2'x4', 2'x5',2.5'x5' and 2'x6' are all commons sizes
Street pole banner can get quite larger. To mitigate wind load, we can sew in extra pockets for additional brackets as well as switch the material to our premium vinyl mesh that allows airflow
There's no great answer for this.. except to measure them.
If you have any exsiting street banner, it's best to measure that. Ensure that you also measure the pole pocket size as well.
If you don't have an old street pole banner to measure, then you need to head up and measure the bracket spacing manually. If you brackets are fixed onto you lamp post, you MUST ensure a very accurate measurement. You should also measure the diameter of the bracket when you're up there as well. It is always better to make your street banners 1/2" - 1" bigger than needed in order to account for inconsistent installation of brackets, cold weather and material shrinkage as well as ease of installation.
Generally, it takes about 5 business days to print and package a flag. We also estimate shipping to take about 5 business days within the Continental US. We start counting "production time" starting when the client approved their artwork proofs. Clients can expect their custom flags to arrive in about 2 weeks from the approval of their artwork.

Each flag is subjected to different environmental conditions like wind, rain, snow and UV exposure. It is hard to predict a general lifespan for flags. We have seen some last multiple years and others that last a lot less than that. If you are in a generally windy area, we recommend taking your flag down at night and not flying it in inclement weather as this will extend the lifespan of your flag.
Rodeo flags can be cleaned by hand in a basin using a small amount of mild dish soap. Flags must be hand-dried as they are made of coated polyester
For most cases, flying the flag works very well. Within a day or two you will see the fold likes disappear.
If the flag is being used for a rodeo or needs to be looking pristine out of the bag, the flag can be ironed at an extremely low heat. Flags are made of coated polyester and may burn or discolor if subjected to high enough direct heat.
The short answer: anything and everything*. All of our flags start off white and we print 100% of the colors onto them. This means we can accommodate gradients, photographs, logos with multiple colors and have any type of flag backgrounds.
What we cannot accommodate is fluorescent, neon, glitter or metallic printing.
Flags can be made to any size. The flag fabric width is 120" and can be seamed together to make larger flags.
Production of street pole banners can be relatively quick. We generally produce street pole banners in about 2 weeks, then it takes about 1 weeks for shipping.
Having said this, the design process, if you're getting fully custom street pole banners may be time consuming with iterations of design. If you're planning a campaign for your City or Town and there are multiple decision makers, it's best to budget 2 months from start to finish
