The right base for your flag and your ground

A flag is only as steady as what holds it down, and the right base depends on two things: the size of the flag and the surface it stands on. Grass takes a spike, hard standing needs weight, and a car forecourt has its own option that sits under a wheel. Several of these bases only suit certain flag sizes, so check the size next to each one before you order. These are hardware items with no artwork to supply; if you are not sure which you need, tell us your flag size and where it is going and we'll pick one with you.

Best for

Matching a flag to grass, paving, an indoor floor, a wall or a car forecourt, and replacing or adding a base to a flag you already own

Artwork made easy

These are hardware accessories, so there is nothing to design or upload. Add the base or bag to your order alongside your flag. If you are not sure which base your flag and location need, tell us and we'll choose it with you before you order.

If you are ordering a printed flag at the same time, the usual applies to that product. Every order includes a free artwork check by a real person — you don't need to ask. If we spot a problem, we'll contact you before anything gets printed.

Every order plants trees

A base outlasts many graphics: buy it once and replace the flag as often as you like. Through our Print A Tree project with Ecologi, every Printlogik order funds verified reforestation — free, automatic, every time. See the forest grow →

FAQs – Flag Accessories

Which base do I need?

It comes down to surface and flag size. On soft ground such as grass, use the metal ground spike. On hard ground, use a cross brace and weight bag or a weighted parasol base. Indoors, use a square base. On a car forecourt, the car foot sits under a wheel and uses the weight of the vehicle. Then check the base suits your flag size.

Which bases suit Large and Extra Large flags?

The Metal Ground Spike, Large Cross Brace & Weight Bag, Medium Parasol Base, Large Parasol Base, Large Square Base 10.5kg (indoors only) and Car Foot. The standard Cross-Brace & Weight Bag, Basic Parasol Base and Small Square Base 7kg are for Small and Medium flags only.

Can the square bases be used outside?

No. Both square bases are for indoor use only.

How do I stop a water-filled base freezing in winter?

Add salt to the water, or fill the base with sand instead. A base weighted with plain water can freeze and crack in cold weather.

What does the carry bag hold?

A folded flag and its pole in any size, plus a cross brace and weight bag, the metal ground spike or the car foot. The metal spike has its own pocket. Parasol and square bases travel separately. Empty weight bags before packing.

Do flags come with a base?

Blade, crest and fin flags are sold without one, so you can choose the base that suits your surface and keep it when you replace the graphic. The Economy Flag is the exception: it comes with its own pole and base.

Can Printlogik design my flag?

Yes. If you are ordering a printed flag as well and don't have artwork, our studio can set up your file or create the design from scratch. Ask for a design quote and we'll price it before you commit.
