Custom Street Pole Banners - Custom Feather Flags


Wednesday, July 16, 2008
Have you ever wondered how the diplomatic corps manage to stick car flags into their vehicles? Not only are these car flags installed within short notice, but also flags cling to their vehicles even at speeds of over 100mph.

Of course we cannot expect our diplomats to drill holes on their cars every time they are requested to don car flags, it will be too demanding, besides cars will be riddled with bolts and screw holes. Since car flags are installed only for the duration of the motorcade and later removed, the use of bolts and nuts to hold the flag will be time consuming and at the same time mar the glossy finish of the car surface.

The most practical solution will be to use chemical based adhesives, but then again it leaves a residue that could not be cleaned and at the same time affect the car finish. Some enterprising flag makers use flags with a pole that is provided with a vacuum attachment. This form of attachment is only effective for some time, because even if it provides perfect adhesion to the surface, the vacuum adhesion loses its grip after some time. For our cars that are constructed of aluminum or reinforced plastic and even carbon, this seems to be the only way.

But for cars that are made of steel, then a magnetically adhesive car flagpole is the answer. You can actually stick you car flag anywhere so long as the surface is of steel and your problem of a reliable adhesion is solved.

Europe being soccer crazy, each individual who goes to games are always equipped with car flags. They cannot go without the car flags waving in front or at the back of their cars, thus a magnetically adhesive car flag has been devised for the purpose.
