Custom Whip Flags for Clubs, Dealers and Events
By Steve Moss — Owner, Handy Flag. Handy Flag builds whip flags and vehicle-specific mounts for off-road riders and ships them within 24 hours.
Quick answer: Yes, we make custom whip flags — your logo, your colors, your design, printed on the same rip-stop nylon flags we sell every day. Minimum order is 100 flags. That makes it a fit for dealers, clubs, race teams, events and businesses rather than a one-off for your own rig. Email info@handyflag.com with your artwork and quantity and we'll quote it.
Who this is for
A hundred flags is a real order, so let's be straight about who it suits:
Powersports dealers putting their name on a flag that goes out with every machine sold. It rides on the dunes all season with your shop on it.
Clubs and riding groups who want the whole group flying the same flag — easy to spot your people across a bowl, and it looks sharp in photos.
Races and events handing out flags to entrants, or selling them at registration.
Businesses running a fleet of UTVs on site, or using flags as branded merchandise.
If you want one custom flag for your own machine, this isn't it — a hundred is the smallest run our printer does. What a lot of individual riders do instead is pick a stock design that already says something: Willys, Pirate, Don't Tread on Me, service branches, USA, all $10.
What you can put on a flag
The flag itself is 17" × 12" rip-stop nylon, double-stitched, the same one that ships in every Handy Flag kit. What changes is what's printed on it.
Send us what you've got — a logo file, a sketch, a rough idea. Vector artwork reproduces cleanest, but we've worked from plenty of rough starts. Tell us the quantity and the color you want the flag to be, and we'll come back with a quote.
Pick your color before you pick your design
This is the part that costs people money, so it's worth saying plainly.
If your flags are going to the dunes, they need to be red or orange. Glamis, Oceano, Dumont, Sand Hollow, Little Sahara and St. Anthony all require a red or orange safety flag. Silver Lake in Michigan is stricter still — safety orange, solid material, rectangular only.
A club flag in your team colors is a great thing to own. But if those colors are blue and white, your riders are carrying a flag that doesn't satisfy the rule, and they'll need a compliant one on the whip as well. Two common ways around it:
Put your design on an orange flag. Your logo, dune-legal background. One flag does both jobs.
Run the club flag below the safety flag, or on a second whip — which is what the parks expect if you're flying something decorative.
We wrote up what every park actually requires, with each rule checked against the park's own published source. Worth a read before you sign off on artwork.
What you get with the flags
Custom orders are flags. If your people also need poles and mounts, those are the standard parts:
**Complete kits** — aluminum alloy folding pole, quick-disconnect coupler, stainless mounting stud, flag and storage sleeve. Three pole lengths: 57" Shortie, 81", 103".
**Vehicle-specific mounts** — 2021+ Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler JL and JK, all bolting to factory holes with no drilling. A universal clamp fits any round tube from 1.5" to 2".
Flags on their own, if your riders already have whips and just need the new design on them. Swapping takes about a minute and one zip-tie.
For a dealer, the kit-plus-custom-flag combination is the useful one: the customer drives off with a working safety whip that has your shop's name on it.

FAQ
Do you make custom whip flags? Yes. Your logo, colors and design on our rip-stop nylon flags. Minimum order is 100.
Why is the minimum 100 flags? That's the smallest run our printer does. Below it, setup costs more than the flags.
Can I order just one custom flag for my own rig? Not at the moment. For a single flag, pick a stock design — there are plenty, and they're $10 each.
What artwork do you need? Vector files reproduce best, but send whatever you have and we'll tell you if it'll work.
Can I get my club's colors instead of orange? You can. Just know that dune parks require red or orange, so a flag in other colors won't satisfy the rule on its own. Putting your design on an orange flag solves both at once.
Do custom orders ship in 24 hours? No — 24-hour shipping is for stock items. Custom runs are printed to order, and we'll give you a timeline with your quote.
Who is this for? Dealers, clubs, race teams, events and businesses. Anyone ordering by the hundred.
Be seen, be safe
A flag with your name on it works two shifts: it keeps your riders visible, and it puts your shop in every photo from the weekend.
