Rectangle Flag (Flags)
Rectangle Flag
Square-cut, with the largest usable print area of any flag we make. For when there is genuinely something to say and a taper would cost you half of it. Printed in North Dallas.
You are paying for print area
A rectangle flag is the most expensive shape on this site, and the reason is straightforward: it has square corners and no taper, so almost the whole panel is usable. On a feather or a teardrop, the top narrows and the tail curves away, and any artwork that runs into those areas gets distorted or cropped.
That matters in three situations. When the logo is wide rather than tall and will not sit in a narrow column. When there is more than a headline to communicate — a set of services, a list, a QR code that has to stay square and scannable. And when the artwork is a photograph or a full-bleed design that needs a rectangular canvas to make sense.
If none of those apply and you have a logo and two words, a feather flag says the same thing for around a hundred dollars less. We would rather tell you that than sell you the bigger one.
Three heights
| Small — 8.5 ft | Sidewalks, entrances, indoor use and covered areas. Still a substantial panel because of the square shape. |
|---|---|
| Medium — 11.8 ft | The general-purpose outdoor size for a forecourt or a frontage. |
| Large — 15 ft | Roadside and setback positions. At this size the panel is large enough to carry real detail, and it needs a weighted base. |
There is no X-Large in this shape. A rectangle catches considerably more wind than a feather at the same height, which is why the range tops out lower — and why the base choice matters more here than on any other flag we sell.
Graphic and base for a rectangle flag
The rectangle flag comes with the same three graphic choices and five bases as our feather flags. The Feather Angled Flag page covers each option in detail.
The base matters more on this shape than on any tapered flag, because a square panel catches more wind. Use the included ground stake on grass. On any hard surface outdoors, take the cross base with the water bag. If the flag carries a service list or a QR code and people approach from both sides, choose double sided. A reversed list on the back cannot be read.

Questions we get asked
More fabric, more print area and heavier hardware to hold a square panel steady. The gap is real and so is the difference in what you can put on it — if you only need a logo and a word, the feather flags are better value.
On this shape, yes — it stays square and it has room to be scannable. On a tapered flag a QR code ends up small and distorted. That said, think about whether anyone can get close enough and stand still enough to scan it. It works at an entrance or an expo stand, not beside a road.
On soft ground, the included stake. On any hard surface, the cross base with a water bag if there is any wind exposure at all. A rectangle catches more air than a feather, so under-weighting it is the mistake to avoid.
Usually. Cities across North Dallas and most retail leases have temporary signage rules that differ from each other. Check both before ordering.
