Portrait-Format Flags

Portrait format flags are gaining significance as decorative flags and promotional flags. They are fastened to a staff on the long side and wave along the short side; for this reason, they are fully unfurled even when there is little breeze. This effect is enhanced by the easy-waving flag cloth used today. Because of special methods of hanging, this flag requires little space. Vertical flags can also be hoisted on rotating "outrigger staffs." The advantage: the flag is always fully unfolded. The motif is visible even when there is no wind.
