We print on knitted polyester(duraknit, polyknit, duraflag equivalents) as well as 200D nylon. If you’re looking for fast turnarounds on a smaller budget- knitted polyester is the material of choice.

Custom printed flags are an effective marketing tool that uses colour and movement to gain attention and visibility. Custom flags are perfect to fly alongside the Canadian and provincial flag. There are a variety of ways to print these, including digital print (acid dye digital printing on nylon), screen printing, and sublimation. At Aurora Flags and Banners, we either screen print or digitally print our flags on 200/210D nylon or knitted polyester. The material and printing method is determined by the client's budget, the artwork, and the quantity of flags needed. We do use the sublimation printing process, but due to the lower ink penetration, the process is reserved for other fabric printing applications like custom backdrops and table covers.
Custom rodeo flags are a great way to show your company identity or to showcase event sponsors. There's not a better way to kick off rodeo season in the summer than to fly your sponsors' flag. We can often offer RUSH turnarounds on rodeo flags for your last minute needs. Rodeo flags are created with special finishing on the right hand side to enable the flag to be seen correctly while riding. Often times, clients will ask to print their custom rodeo flags double sided. We discourage against this as it makes the flag heavier and thus the rider will need to ride faster for the flag to fly well. Instead, we encourage all rodeo flags to have the finishing on the right hand side so that the counter clockwise rotation of the rider will allow all rodeo fans see the flag flying correctly. Yes, these flags are perfect for the rodeo, but you can also use them for parades or honour events! Photography of our Qualico flag in action by Amber Bracken
Popular with residential land developers, home builders, cities and large event promoters, custom roto top flags are highly visible and perfect for roadside marketing. This unique system consists of a rotating top and arm to keep your flag fully visible at all times. Roto top banners are printed in full colour on either 200D nylon or knitted polyester flag material. These flags rotate 360 degrees to make sure your branding is always visible from all angles. Custom roto top flags are a marketing staple for any type of residential land development.
Custom Stick Flags- Perfect for Desktop Decoration, or Giveaways
Stick flags are great for trade shows, conferences, events and more. Our Stick flags are made just like our regular custom flags- we use the same materials and inks. Depending on the size, stick flags are generally finished with a plastic or wooden dowel. For the smaller sizes we finish the flags with a black plastic stick that get mounted onto bases so they can stand upright. Generally, Stick flags are all printed single/reverse and the edges are hot cut (not sewn). Serge stitching on the edges is only available for nylon stick flags. The custom flag is attached to the stick via a sleeve and with the help of a staple or some glue. The end product is an official looking custom printed stick flag!
Custom Street Banners are the perfect addition to the main street

Over the past 30 years, Aurora Flags and Banners has built a reputation on being the ultimate source for custom street banners. We supply cities and towns from coast to coast with our Junior Windspill Banner Brackets as well as our custom printed vinyl street banners.
