Outdoor Branding: Teardrop vs. Feather Flags
The Hook: New Zealand weather is famously "four seasons in one day." Whether you’re setting up at the Mystery Creek Fieldays or a coastal surf event, your outdoor branding needs to handle the elements without looking like a tattered rag after one week.
Choosing the Right Shape
Teardrop Flags: These stay taut regardless of the wind. They are perfect for high-wind areas because the tension prevents the "flapping" that causes wear and tear.
Feather Flags: These offer a larger printable area and more movement. The gentle "flutter" in the breeze is great for catching the eye of passing traffic.
Engineered for the NZ Sun
The UV levels in New Zealand are notoriously harsh. Cheap flags fade within months. GLO HQ uses UV-resistant inks and heavy-duty, reinforced poles. Our base systems—from spike bases for turf to heavy-duty water bags for concrete—ensure your branding stays upright when the wind picks up.
Double-Sided Visibility
Don’t let your message be unreadable from the "wrong" side. Our advanced printing process allows for true double-sided flags where the logo is correct on both sides, with a block-out layer in between to prevent the sun from shining through and muddying the design.
