A printed hand flag is RM3.00 in Malaysia, a complete wind flag kit starts at RM110, and a custom 3 × 5 ft flag on polyester flag fabric is RM26.09. Every flag Tandaku sells is printed by dye-sublimation on polyester, so the colour is inside the fibres and survives sun, rain and folding. Which one you need depends on where it stands: on a pavement, in a crowd's hand, on someone's back, or on a pole.

Wind flags: feather, rectangle and giant
A wind flag — also called a beach flag or feather flag — is a tall printed fabric sail on a flexible pole, planted in a base beside a shop entrance, a car park, a show unit or an event gate. It is the cheapest way to put a brand at head height and above, and the movement catches the eye of passing traffic in a way a static sign does not.
- Feather (RM160) — the tall curved shape. The top edge bends with the pole, so the print is always shown in the same profile.
- Rectangle (RM170) — a squared shape with more usable print area for a logo and a line of text.
- Mini (RM110, about 2 m) — for a shopfront, a counter area or an indoor mall entrance.
- Mini on a water base (RM120, 3 m) — the base is filled with water, which is what keeps a flag upright on a pavement or car park where it cannot be staked.
- Giant (RM220, about 4.5 m) — for highways, big open grounds and petrol stations, where it has to be read from a moving car.
Design for the shape: the print runs vertically, so put the logo high where it is seen over cars and people, and keep text short and large. A single word or a phone number reads; a sentence does not.
Custom flags cut to size
For a flag that flies on a flagpole, hangs from a wall bracket or crosses a hall, print fabric cut to any size instead of a kit:
| Size | Flag fabric 80gsm | Mesh fabric 110gsm | Double-sided blockout 280gsm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 × 3 ft | RM10.44 | RM12.24 | RM23.41 |
| 3 × 5 ft | RM26.09 | RM30.59 | RM58.48 |
| 4 × 6 ft | RM41.76 | RM48.96 | RM93.60 |
- Flag fabric is the classic light flag cloth. It prints one side and the design shows through the back as a mirror image — right for a logo, wrong for words.
- Mesh fabric has an open knit, so wind passes through; use it where a solid flag would be torn or would pull the pole over.
- Double-sided blockout has an opaque core between two printed faces, so each side reads correctly — the choice for a flag seen from both sides with text on it.
Custom pieces come with heat-cut edges that do not fray, supplied flat. If the flag needs a pole sleeve or brass eyelets, a tailor can add them in minutes.
Hand flags and backpack flags
Hand flags at RM3 each are for rallies, parades, sports days, school and corporate events, and the Merdeka and Malaysia Day season. Order them in quantity: at 100 pieces the price drops 5% automatically.
Backpack flags are worn by promoters walking a mall, a roadshow or a festival crowd, so the flag moves through the audience instead of waiting for it. The teardrop and bow shapes are RM90; the rectangle, with more print area, is RM112.
Air dancers
An air dancer — the inflatable tube figure that waves above a grand opening or a car showroom — is RM423 as a complete kit, printed to your colours. It stands 4 m and runs on an electric blower, so it needs a power point within reach. Nothing stops traffic like it, which is why it is usually rented for an opening week and then kept for every promotion after.
Which flag for which job
| Job | Flag |
|---|---|
| Grand opening | Air dancer plus a pair of feather flags at the entrance |
| Shop entrance every day | Mini wind flag, or a 3 m flag on a water base on the pavement |
| Roadside, highway, open ground | Giant wind flag |
| Rally, parade, school or sports event | Hand flags in quantity |
| Walking promotion or roadshow | Backpack flags |
| Flagpole, wall bracket or hall | Custom flag — blockout if both sides must read |
| Sports field fence or windy site | Mesh fabric |

Keeping flags looking good outdoors
Sublimated polyester does not peel, but every flag left outside day and night eventually fades in the sun and frays at the tip in the wind. Take wind flags in overnight and when a storm is coming, which also protects the pole and base. Roadside flags, like roadside bunting, are regulated by local councils, so check before planting a long row along a public road.
How long flag printing takes
Flags are dye-sublimated by Tandaku's production partner, so allow 5–7 working days before dispatch, counted from artwork approval. Kits ship by courier anywhere in Malaysia (1–3 working days), go by Lalamove within the Klang Valley once ready, or can be collected free in Seri Kembangan. For National Day, Malaysia Day or an opening date, order at least two weeks ahead.
