Flags have always been a symbol and representation. Flags can represent countries, agreements, groups, companies or even ideas. They tend to say a lot more than the words or images on them. A simple white flag can end a war. Flags can be great ways to quickly convey a message. When looking for ways to advertise or promote something, custom flags are a great way to do that.

What Is a Custom Flag?

Flags come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. There are flags that blow off a pole, like a state or country flag. There are also sturdier flags that stand on the ground and tend to have words on them. These can be seen at booths or outside of businesses. They advertise a sale or promotion of some sort. Each flag was created by someone.
