A wholesale custom flags quote only moves when each line already names the print face, the size, the finish, and the quantity. Leave one out and the first reply is a clarifying question, not a price. This page is the RFQ checklist for event, venue, agency, and distributor buyers on iPopupbanner — before you inquire for free design.

Already comparing the live size ladder? Use the custom flag sizes guide. This post turns those choices into quote lines a supplier can price. Specs below come only from the live custom printed flags page and its quote form.

The short answer: seven lines on every wholesale custom flags quote

Treat these as the minimum spec for each line of your order. Mix of sizes or print faces? Write one line per combination.

  1. Print face: Single Sided Reverse or Double Sided 3 Layers.
  2. Size: 12×18 in, 2×3 ft, 3×5 ft, 4×6 ft, 5×8 ft, 6×10 ft, or “Customize size.”
  3. Finish: Only Sleeve Left; Left Sleeve with Grommets; Only Sleeve Top; Top Sleeve with Grommets; 4 Corner Grommets; or None.
  4. Quantity: count for that exact combination. The page says No MOQ — Design & Buy 1 or 1000 is ok.
  5. Artwork: your files, or a note asking for the free design service.
  6. Indoor / outdoor: both are recommended on the page; note which, and plan to take flags inside at night and in bad weather.
  7. Need-by date: free shipping windows on the page are usually 5 to 12 days; production after approval and payment is listed as 1–3 business days.

Line 1: Single Sided Reverse vs Double Sided 3 Layers

This line is the print-face choice on the form. It changes how the reverse reads and how much wind the flag needs to fly.

Spec Single Sided Reverse Double Sided 3 Layers
What the form says One-layer print; reverse is a bleed-through image Two printed faces sewn with a middle 100% blackout layer
Reverse readability Page body: 70–95% bleed; FAQ also cites ~80% Readable correct orientation on both sides; different front/back artwork allowed at no extra cost
When it fits Fast one-way traffic (busy road, train stop); lighter fly in low wind Slower sidewalk or city avenue traffic; two messages; windy sites where SS may tear sooner
Fly note from the page Lighter; flies easily in low wind Heavier; needs more wind; lasts longer in windy use

Do not wait for the proof stage to discover a reverse-bleed look when the brief needed a correct-reading back. Put SS or DS on every quote line.

Line 2: Size from the quote form (not a second size guide)

The live form lists: 12In × 18In, 2Ft × 3Ft, 3Ft × 5Ft, 4Ft × 6Ft, 5Ft × 8Ft, 6Ft × 10Ft, plus Customize size. FAQ repeats the same six rectangles. For how those sizes read at a gate or bleacher, use the sizes guide; this checklist only needs the form value on each line so production does not guess a 3×5 when you meant a 2×3.

Agencies ordering for several end clients should say whether size differs per client — different size means a different line, even when artwork is shared.

Line 3: Grommets, sleeves, or none

Finishing options on the page include grommets and pole sleeves. The form spelling uses “Gromments”; map your RFQ to the live choices:

  • Only Sleeve Left
  • Left Sleeve with Gromments
  • Only Sleeve Top
  • Top Sleeve with Gromments
  • 4 Corner Gromments
  • None Sleeve and Gromments

Default sleeve language on the page is designed to fit 1.25-inch poles; ask for a different sleeve diameter in the notes if your poles differ. Brass grommets are described as rust-free. Install language on the page: attach with cords, strings, bungees, or cable ties — or screws and washers through the grommets on a solid wall. The page states the custom flag does not come with poles as part of the standard order; do not assume a pole kit on the quote.

Line 4: Quantity, and what “wholesale” means here

There is no separate wholesale catalog on the custom-flags page. No MOQ is stated on the live page, and “Design & Buy 1 or 1000 is ok!” Wholesale custom flags are the same dye-sub polyester flag quoted at volume. The quantity line is what tells the team you are a multi-unit buyer.

Write count per combination, then a total. Free custom sample language on the page: a custom sample is refundable upon a bulk order of 20 or more flags — mention sample intent separately if you need it before the production run.

Line 5: Artwork, dye-sub, and the free proof

Printing on the page is dye sublimation on durable polyester, digitally printed with no color restrictions and no extra charge for more colors. Inks have UV protection but are not completely UV-proof. You can send AI, ESP, or PSD files (as listed on the page), email files with your order ID, or ask the design team to lay out logos and copy for free.

Order flow on the page: fill the request → reply with design and price → approve proof → PayPal invoice → produce and free ship. Put your needed-by date on the quote so conflicts with the 5–12 day shipping window surface early. Production after approval and payment is listed as 1–3 business days. Artwork FAQ tip: for a 3×2 ft flag example, aim for at least 1100 px width and 32 DPI minimum — scale up for larger rectangles.

Line 6–7: Indoor/outdoor use and need-by date

Features on the page recommend both indoor and outdoor use. FAQ care: bring the flag inside each evening and in bad weather to prolong life; do not leave banners outdoors in extreme weather. Polyester is discussed as more durable in wind than nylon on the same URL; the quote form does not list a nylon selector — ask if you need a material recommendation for a specific site.

For context on how outdoor event branding is planned as temporary wayfinding and sponsor visibility, see the overview of an outdoor advertising display on Wikipedia — then come back to the seven lines above so your RFQ matches print face and finish, not just a mood board.

A copy-ready quote request

Paste this into your inquiry and swap the brackets.

Wholesale custom flags quote:
Line A: Double Sided 3 Layers, 3Ft × 5Ft, Left Sleeve with Grommets, qty 40
Line B: Single Sided Reverse, 2Ft × 3Ft, 4 Corner Grommets, qty 80
Artwork: logo attached; please use free design; same lockup on Line A, venue-date version on Line B
Use: outdoor gate + indoor lobby; will take outdoors flags inside at night
Ship to: [city, country]. Needed by: [date].

That request can be priced without a round of “single or double?” emails.

Before you send it: three checks

  1. Print-face check. SS Reverse for one-way fast traffic; DS 3 Layers when both sides must read correct or two messages are required.
  2. Finish check. Sleeve for poles; grommets for ties/screws; name the exact form option so the header and grommet count match install.
  3. Delivery check. Open the shipment within the page’s 5-business-day defect window and confirm the printed face against your approved proof before event load-in.

FAQ

What should I include in a wholesale custom flags quote?

Print face (Single Sided Reverse or Double Sided 3 Layers), size from the form, finish (sleeve and/or grommets option), quantity per combination, artwork or free-design request, indoor vs outdoor use, and need-by date.

Is there a minimum order for custom printed flags?

No. The live page states No MOQ and that Design & Buy 1 or 1000 is ok. Wholesale orders use the same form; quantity is what signals volume.

Single sided or double sided — which should I pick?

Choose Single Sided Reverse for lighter fly and one-way traffic; the reverse is a bleed-through image. Choose Double Sided 3 Layers when both sides must read correctly, when you want different front/back art, or for slower traffic and windier sites.

Do custom flags include poles?

The page states the custom flag does not come with poles as part of the standard order. Specify sleeve or grommet finish for how you will mount on poles or walls you already have.
