Wholesale Flags

Attention retail stores, churches, schools, fundraising groups – wholesale flags can be a great way to generate the profit you need to pursue your business plan or group goals. For those who need 50 flags or more, the wholesale flags industry is ready and willing to help.

Before you limit your thinking to buying a large number of United States flags, widen your scope a bit and consider that suppliers in the wholesale flags field often have flags from numerous foreign countries, as well as banners, decorative bunting, military flags and more. Some will even work with you to design and manufacture a custom flag specifically for your group or organization. In addition, many of the merchants in the wholesale flags industry have a significant import business, making contact with manufacturers and government suppliers worldwide to add new flags to their catalogs. In addition to country flags and the popular U.S. flag, many suppliers have a lengthy list of other types of flags and banners, including those for your car or home, religious flags, and novelty flags such as pirate flags.

But beware. There are flags made from only the best material, designed to stand up to outdoor use and handling. Then there are flags made from the least expensive material available. These are meant for one time or short time use. Most of the merchants in the wholesale flags business are quite open about the prices and quality of the flags they offer, but it is always wise to make sure from the start that you are getting the flags you expect for the price paid.

Yet, a cheap flag does not have to be a low-quality flag. As some suppliers of wholesale flags emphasize, the lower price does not necessarily reflect problem flags, seconds or blemishes etc. The key is to get the flag that is correct for the intended use. As with many wholesale items, it may be best to purchase the minimum amount first, try the item out and then order again, in a larger amount, if the first product was satisfactory.

What kind of savings can resellers and organizations expect from the wholesale flags suppliers? With the minimum order of $50 or $100 in mind, consider these representative prices: a 4-foot by 6-foot flag for as little as $17 (U.S. flag in nylon). Perhaps you might be interested in a flag of Ireland or Canada. These can be purchased for as little as $3 or $4 for a printed flag on knit material. Flagpole kits, with flag, can be purchased for about $20 each depending on volume. Remember that many of these prices are intended for retailers and organizations with tax numbers or tax-exempt status. Tip: Make sure you are working with wholesale prices when you contact a supplier, or make sure that the salesperson is clear about the discount from retail.

Some stores have inventories that number in the thousands. Some suppliers of wholesale flags offer flags that measure up to 20 feet by 30 feet. So don't limit yourself when it comes to the need for buying wholesale flags. Mail order, phone order or Web order – wholesale flags are big business.
