Two dates drive flag orders in the UAE: Flag Day in early November, when offices, schools and government buildings raise the flag together, and National Day on 2 December. Between them, demand for flags in Dubai jumps, and so do the queues.
Here’s a simple guide to what businesses usually order, and how to avoid the last-minute rush.
UAE National Day Flags: What Most Offices Order
Start with the flag itself. Most companies need a mix of sizes:
- A large flag for the building or entrance. Hoisting flags fly from a mast, and wall-mounted flags work where there’s no pole.
- Indoor flags with a stand for reception or the boardroom. Pair a UAE national flag with a flag stand.
- Hand flags for staff photos, school events and celebrations. Hand flags are cheap to order in bulk and everyone gets one.
One important rule: don’t add your logo or text to the UAE flag itself. The national flag should be shown as it is, in its correct colours and proportions. If you want your brand in the picture, fly your own flag next to it.
Custom Flags With Your Company Logo
That’s where custom corporate flags come in. A logo flag beside the UAE flag looks smart at the entrance, in the lobby and in event photos. You can also order company logo flags in the same size as your national flags so they hang as a matching pair.
For outdoor promotions during the holiday weekend, feather flags outside a shop or showroom catch drivers’ eyes from far away. Our flag printing page shows every shape we print.
Table Flags for Reception and Meeting Rooms
Table flags are the easiest way to dress a reception desk or meeting table. A small UAE flag next to your logo flag on a twin stand looks good in client meetings all month. For the boardroom, premium table flags come with a heavier base and a cleaner finish.
Car Flags for National Day
Company cars and delivery vans join the celebration too. Car window flags clip onto a side window, and car bonnet flags sit on the front. Keep them for city driving: they aren’t made for high motorway speeds, so take them off for long highway trips.
