Custom Street Pole Banners - Custom Feather Flags


Monday, December 10, 2012

Collecting custom flags has been a practice for some people for several years. It is not as common as other types of collections like coin collections, card collections or stamp collections because of how rare the items were in the past.

Vexillology is the term used to define the science of studying flags. Before the internet arrived, collectors had a hard time getting all the designs they needed because there weren't a lot of easy sources to find overseas. Unlike card collections or stamp collections that were available in many places, collecting flags posed a lot more challenges. Before, people do not easily let go of their flags unless there’s a very good reason to because these stand for the nation. Today, it is much easier to collect flags because of the internet. There are manufacturers that can provide the actual designs in the size that you want.

Flags are available in a wide array of sizes. There is also an adequate term used by people for every size and the various aspects of the banner.

The flagpole or flagstaff is the pole that holds the flag up. The hoist describes the edge of the flag right next to the flagstaff or the side of the flag. The flag’s vertical width is also called the hoist. The edge at the other end of the hoist or the side is called the fly. It also stands for the length of the flag horizontally. The custom flag also features different colors and styles for its background, called the field.
