| POLE TYPE | INFORMATION |
|---|---|
| Traditional |
The traditional External Halyard Flagpole utilizes a simple, classic
pulley system with the rope located on the outside of the pole and
tied off to a cleat at the base. Its main advantages are low initial
cost and simple maintenance, as the external components are easy to
access for quick DIY adjustments or repairs, like replacing a worn
rope. This style offers the easiest operation for quick raising and lowering of the flag and appeals to those who prefer the tactile, hands-on tradition of hoisting a flag, providing a timeless, classic look. |
| Fixed - Single Arm (Smart Pole) |
A Fixed Single-Arm Pole, usually in the context of a Multi-Function
Pole or Smart Pole, integrates advertising with advanced urban
technology. The fixed banner arm provides a point for highly
visible, fixed, and non-rotating signage used for directional
marketing, event promotion, or civic announcements. Because the banner is held on a single arm, the bottom edge is typically attached directly to the pole to keep it taut, ensuring readability from a single angle, but requiring elevated equipment to physically access and change the message. |
| Flag Trax |
The FLAG TRAX System is a highly efficient street flag display
solution designed primarily for lampposts, columns, and walls,
enabling flag changes in seconds from ground level. This innovative system uses a durable aluminum track and a 'PushPull' rod mechanism, which eliminates the need for expensive elevated equipment and complex traffic management plans. FLAG TRAX is a cost-effective and safe way to run frequent, high-visibility promotional, event, or seasonal campaigns in urban areas, supporting various flag sizes and featuring a secure, key-accessible locking mechanism at the base. |
| FLAG-extender |
The FLAG-extender System is a versatile advertising tool designed
for use on traditional flag poles that ensures your message is
always visible, independent of wind conditions. Utilizing a flexible carbon-fiber rod and modular, lightweight components. Its key advantage is 100% constant visibility—a cost-effective solution for high-impact promotions. |

Selby's Artwork Submission Guidelines
To ensure efficient processing and maintain competitive pricing, Selby's requires artwork submissions to adhere to the following specifications. Artwork not meeting these guidelines may incur an additional artwork charge for necessary adjustments by our operators.
1. File Requirements:
- Types: Each product & size must be submitted as a separate file.
- Example: 1 medium teardrop, 1 small teardrop and 1 marquee should each be submitted in a separate file.
- Designs: Multiple designs of the same product & size (including double sided products) need to be in a single multi-page PDF document.
- Example: 20 small teardrops with 3 different designs should be supplied in a single 3-page PDF, 1 page per design.
- Acceptable File Type: We only accept .PDF files. No raw image files (like .jpg, .png, .tiff) or design files (like .ai, .psd) can be submitted directly.
- Raster Images: Please do not submit raw raster files (e.g., .jpg, .png). These must be embedded within a Selby's artwork template and saved as a .pdf before submission.
- Artwork Templates:
- Download templates from our website. Do not change or alter the size.
- If you are unsure which template to use or cannot find the appropriate one, please contact your Selby's representative for assistance.
- Non Template products: For custom size banners and other non template items a standard 50mm bleed on every edge is required.
- Fonts: All text must be outlined or converted to shapes to avoid font compatibility issues.
- Vector Graphics: Where possible, supply artwork in vector format.
2. Colour Specifications:
- Pantone Spot Colours: For specific colour requirements or colour matching services, please ensure Pantone spot colours are clearly specified within your artwork file.
- CMYK Values: While we accept colours supplied as CMYK values, we cannot guarantee exact colour matching due to potential machine and ink variations. Colours provided in CMYK will be printed as supplied.
- Spot Colour Conversion: All named spot colours other than Pantone will be rejected and returned.
- RGB Format: Files submitted in RGB format will be rejected and returned.
3. Image Requirements (Raster Graphics):
- Minimum Resolution: We recommend resolution between 90 to 150 DPI (dots per inch) for all photos and raster images.
- Embedding: All raster images must be embedded within the PDF or AI file. Do not link external raster files.
- Original Rasters (If Unsure): If you are unsure about the embedding process, please include the original raster image file separately along with the templated artwork.
Flags are exposed to airborne contaminants such as dirt, dust, pollution, wind, and ultraviolet rays, which all contribute to the deterioration of your flag.
The most effective ways to increase the life of your flags are:
- Avoid extreme wind conditions by taking your flag down.
- Remove your flags during storms.
- Take your flags down overnight, which can double the life expectancy of your flag.
- Request to have your flag manufactured with rounded corners rather than square corners, which is best suited to portrait flags.
Generally, flags last 3-6 months, but this is very much dependent on weather conditions.
Yes, we can make a flag in any size.
Mirror image means we print on the front of the flag, and the ink penetrates through to the back, so the design on the back of the flag is a mirror image of the front (i.e., in reverse).
We can produce your flags in as little as 5-7 days.
We can produce from as little as one flag to a thousand.
Yes, we use PMS (Pantone) colour charts and can match to any standard PMS colour.
