All our flags are 8" x
8", but you can choose from three different products. The only minor
change is the
casing—the area
at the top of each flag, also known as the "heading." The casing is
where you pass through a
rope, ladder
rung, or
curtain rod. We make a 1" casing for the rope in our horizontal
banners. We use a
1-5/16" casing for
ladder rungs (vertical banners) and curtain rods (valances). But again,
the actual flags
themselves are all the same
8" x 8"
square.
The difference is the overall
message orientation. We string "banners"
on rope in a horizontal (left to right) orientation. Our
"ladders"
are hung vertically (up and
down). Our nautical
valances, used as window treatments, are horizontal
(left to right). They don't come with rope, and you hang them on a
standard
curtain
rod. Both the vertical ladder flags and the signal flag
valances differ only in their having the wider casing.
There is no limit on the number of
flags you can order, or which
flags you'd like to buy. Each flag is individually made at the time of
the order, according to your message. Our flags are entirely separate,
not stuck together in a permanent arrangement.
For
more on the flags and their
patterns, see our flag
translator page.
Miminum Order Amount – $38
You may order whatever number of flags you'd like, in
whatever form, but we do charge a $38 as a basic, minimum order amount.
This is for your entire order, not a minimum amount for each type of
banner. (Note that because these are handcrafted flags, we do not offer
quantity discounts.)
- Horizontal
banner orders
- A minimum order includes up to 4 flags. You
may order 1 – 3 flags, but you will be charged for a minimum
order.
Note:
Estimate approximately
11 inches per flag. Contact us with a specific banner (word or words)
and we can tell you the final width within about 1", including end
loops on
the rope. These flags use a 1" casing.
- Vertical
hanging ladders
- Due to limitations in our order form, you must
order 1 ladder per banner, at $9.50 each.
- A minimum order includes one ladder plus 2 or 3
flags of your choice.
- Additional flags are $9.50 each, but you only need
1 ladder per banner.
Note:
Overall banner
height, with top area included, is approximately
12 inches per flag. For example, a 4-letter vertical banner is about
48" from the very top ring, to the bottom edge of the last flag. (Vertical
ladder examples.)
- Window
treatment flags
- Nautical valance flags are shipped without rope.
You slide the flags over a standard curtain rod.
- The casing is wider (1-5/16") to
accommodate an ordinary curtain rod (up to 3/4" diameter or thickness).
- Flags are $9.50 each. You can order 1 – 3
flags, but you'll be charge the minimum order price.
Note:
5 flags fit well in 44" with about a 1/2" space
between them. 9 flags work well with a 72" patio door. The flags
are 8" wide, so to calculate for your curtain rod width, use
8-½" per flag. Also note that with an odd-number message,
you'll want to consider
the center support.

Placing an Order
 |
You can use our order form
or email us directly
to order or for further information. If you use the order form, you'll
receive an
automated invoice, which we'll then confirm with a follow-up personal
email message. In other words, don't worry. You can make corrections at
various steps along the way.
You won't be making a payment when you fill out
and

an embedded link to PayPal, where you can make the payment.
The link on the invoice
expires in 3 days, for yours and our protection. Although we
use only PayPal at this time (no checks or money orders), you may use a
credit card or e-check at the PayPal
site, even if you don't have an account there.

Why we use
Only PayPal
We're a small company, and we're offering these
heirloom-quality handcrafted flags at
a very modest price. To keep our expenses as low as possible, we
currently use
only PayPal. To accept bank credit cards would mean an
additional fee to us, which would necessitate higher prices. Yes,
it's a minor inconvenience, but for now it's the least expensive way to
handle orders.
