The Medium Sail Flag commands attention with its impressive 2.9m height. This versatile straight flag is available with 7 bases, making it easy to set up your promotional flag anywhere.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, straight sail flags perform reliably on a variety of terrains when anchored correctly. Their striking design ensures your marketing messages are visible from a distance, making them an effective promotional tool at exhibitions, sporting events, festivals, country fairs, petrol stations, and car showrooms.
UK Printed Fabric Flags:
Our Medium Sail Flags feature custom-printed graphics on 110gsm flag knit material using dye sublimation. This process embeds the dye directly into the fabric weave, producing vibrant, long-lasting graphics that won’t crack, fade, or peel. Supplied with a reinforced elasticated pole sleeve in black or white to match your branded artwork, and double-stitched, hemmed flag edges for durability.
You can choose single-sided or double-sided flag printing:
Double-sided flags are heavier, so they should be used with the large water base to ensure a stable and secure display outdoors.
Event Flag Kit with Carry Bag:
Sail flag kits include a collapsible aluminium flagpole, delivered in four pieces that slot together for easy assembly, and a zip-up carry bag that features a shoulder strap and dedicated pockets for the pole pieces and a folded-up graphic. The carry bag can accommodate a metal ground spike if needed. All other bases must be transported separately.
Branded Sail Flags for Outdoor Events:
When properly anchored, Sail flags are ideal for outdoor use in a variety of weather conditions, from bright sunshine and overcast skies to rain and winds of up to 18 mph (Beaufort Scale 4 – moderate breeze). The combination of sturdy aluminium poles and water-resistant polyester fabric helps the flag maintain its shape, even in wet conditions.
Sail flags must be disassembled in high winds or stormy weather to prevent damage.
How to Anchor Outdoor Flags Securely:
A variety of bases are available to suit different surfaces, including ground spikes for soft terrain, large or small water base for hard ground, a drive-on car foot for forecourts, a cross base with a weighted ring for added stability, a square base for indoor or sheltered areas, and a gazebo adaptor for attaching to printed gazebos.
The large water base offers the greatest stability and is the most popular choice. For help selecting the best option, refer to our Flag Base Guide.
Sustainable Flag Printing:
Our printed event flags are built for durability and repeated use, reducing waste while providing a reliable solution for multiple events. The fabric is machine-washable to keep your display looking professional and can be fully recycled at the end of its lifespan. Replacement graphics are available whenever you need to refresh your marketing message.
Printed flags generally last between 6 and 12 months, depending on usage and environmental conditions. For tips on maintenance and storage, see our comprehensive Flag Care Guide.
Are Sail Flags Fire-Resistant?
Our flag-knit media is fire-retardant to DIN 4102 Class B1 / DIN EN 13501, making it compliant for indoor exhibition use in the UK and across Europe. Printed flags are ideal for a wide range of applications, including marketing and promotional flags, front-of-business flags, car showrooms and forecourts, retail advertising flags, sporting and charity event flags, exhibitions and trade shows, motorsport and festival flags, as well as wayfinding or directional signage.
How to Supply Custom Flag Artwork:
You can supply print-ready artwork that will undergo a thorough pre-flight check by our in-house design team or take advantage of our graphic design service. Every order includes a design proof for approval before printing.
Alternative sizes are also available in our Sail Flags range. We offer Sail Flags 2m and Sail Flags 4m.

Affordable Sail Flags
Posted by Clifford Simmons on 24/10/2025
I was searching for an affordable Sail Flag for our car club, but it had to be of good quality, so as to give many years of service.
I found XL Displays with a huge range of products and the kind of rectangular flag I was looking for.
It had to be double sided and was concerned about “Show Through” but when I saw that the flag would be constructed with two outer printed sheets with a blanking sheet in the middle and all sewn together, I could see that this was going to be a quality product. Understanding the size and type of graphic needed to be supplied for our flag, was quite easy.
We tend to look after our own artwork designs and so cannot comment on XL’s design team.
Any contact I had with the design team was always quick and clearly explained. Manufacture was very quick and so was delivery.
When I assembled the two Sail Flags, I was so pleased with the size and quality.
I did contact XL to ask about washing the flags, should they become soiled and was sent washing instructions by return of emails.
I have sent XL Displays photo’s of the first use of the Sail Flags, which add to the spectacle at the start of our event.
Many thanks XL we are thrilled with your product.

Brand colour match not great
Posted by Energy Solutions on 09/09/2024
All the service was fine. We weren't impressed with the brand colour match of the product. We found out post-order that the product material did make a difference and although the proofs looked fine, perhaps this could be clearer at the proofing stage. We also found out post-order that we could have ordered colour samples, perhaps this could be clearer?
