Flags, Banners and Pennants:

FLAGS:

Fun facts:

• Did you know the first flag originated over 5000 years ago in 3000 BC with a metal Iranian flag and in Egyptian tomb carvings.

• The study of flags is called “Vexillology” which means “guide” in Latin.

Millions of flags are created each year as a symbol, a signaling device or for decoration… from national and state flags, to custom flags printed with branding messages, from sport teams to special events.

Custom flag tip:

• Bold colors stand out best to catch the eye.

BANNERS:

Did you know?

• During the time of Moses, banners helped keep order among the people as they traveled across the desert to the Promised Land.

• The largest banner in the world was created by the fans of Uruguayan soccer club Nacional in their free time. It measures 1,968’ by 164’ and weighs over 2 tons, and covered half of the 25,000 people in Parque Central Stadium.

Banner tip:

• If you need your banner hung or suspended between posts, you may need GROMMETS. These metal-covered holes - punched into the banner - prevent tearing.

Banners today take many forms. Here are a few variations you should know:

Flags: outdoor, car, feather, windchaser, giant flagpole

Banners: advertising, portable half drop, swooper, garden, avenue
(in windy conditions, portable banners with cross bases require weights)

PENNANTS:

Fun facts:

• A pennant is a flag that’s tapered. It originated from the Latin word “penna” meaning a WING or a FEATHER.

• Pennants began in the 11th century as a flag at the end of a knight’s lance, and then went on to be used for any special ceremony or occasion, or at sea on warships.

Today, pennants are used primarily two ways… to celebrate major competitions with American sports teams and collegiate teams. The other way is to celebrate special sales or events with colorful wind-blowing attention-getters. The pennants can also be custom printed!
