3 x 5 Geocaching Flag

[+mtngirls]

Does anyone know where I can buy a 3 x 4 geocaching flag for my rv? We were out campingthis weekend and it turns out we were camped very near three other cachers and we didn't know. Thanks

I don't think they carry flags (yet), but I often look for window and bumper stickers to id other cachers.

 

or try www.bestcustomflags.com where they can make many different sizes with just about anything you want.

I checked both sites. Groundspeak does not have them and the custom place wanted 150 bucks! Anu other ideas??

Well, you could try to get a blank white flag then do an iron on transfer or something of each of the colored panels of the logo. You'd need a very big image or a vector file of the logo for that. Or, if one of you can sew, the logo is pretty simple.

If you can't sew, see if you can find a local seamstress through a quilt guild.

Please post some sample images of the type of flag you'd like to see and I'd be happy look into having Groundspeak stock them at ShopGroundspeak.com.

The Jeep background has a little flag in it. http://www.geocaching.com/goodies/jeep/1_1024.jpg

Although it's backwards from how a flag normally faces, it's how I pictured it.

I'd love one for my boat.

3x5 would be a little big though.

 

10" by 13" would be more appropriate.

I'd buy one. Make them the same size as all the college and NFL flags you see on cars.

If Groundspeak sold Geocaching flags I would definitely buy one!

[+AuntieNae]

The Tapps & I would buy at least one, perhaps two. They would be great for camping plus when we host events.

I think it's a great idea too. I'd definitely want one for the cachemobile!

I'd like to see the "G" symbol on a small car window flag.

[Clan Riffster]

I'm in!

[+briansnat]

Here is my design.

 

[magellan315]

You forgot to include "In Jeremy we trust" on the flag

[X-isle]

Here is my design.

 

Hahhahahaaa! Go for it!

[+Muddy Chris]

I'b buy one.

Here is an example of a homemade flag. Of course we all won't have to have Deermark on the flag, unless of course you REALLY want to . I have one of these that I won at a CITO event, the flag was signed by all the cachers that were there. Great memento. On a sad note, the wonderful cacher that made this has pass away, she is greatly missed.

Yep, I believe I asked Mark about that flag at Brown County! Great flag!

I have a feeling a flag of any size would be a very popular item, especially at events.

[+clatmandu]

A sail maker would probably be able to make them quite cheaply.

[Dinoprophet]

[+DudleyGrunt]

 

I like that one!

 

Seriously, a GC car flag would be cool.

[+Mystery Ink]

Did this idea die, or did any get made?

The car ones would be great to use on the way to events or just out caching.

Hope to see them on sale soon.

Looks like 2-sided 5-color car flags can be had for $8.10 in quantity 200 to 800 at http://www.united-states-flag.com/custom-12-x18inch.html

 

Maybe we should all email the Groundspeak storekeepers and let them know that we'd buy them if they'd sell them... I would bet that they would sell far more than the 800 price breakpoint.

 

800+ brings the cost down to $6.25

 

Of course that's just a quick web search, I am sure that some shopping around would find them even cheaper.

[+ladyleo191]

Would someone be kind enough to let me know if we can get them made? I'd love to have a couple.

I got quotes from 3 other flag makers, you found the best price. My best price was $20.00 each, min. order was 100. One of the folks I talked to said to be sure teh flag holder for the window is included in the price. Some folks don't include the pole, they are quoting just the flag, then NAIL ya for the pole. Also checkout carefully the material used. With the speed limit being 65-75 some materials do not hold up well. Your guy even says that at 55mph, their flag will only last a month. So a higher price for a much more durable product might be better. I need to look at my STEELERS flag. It has been around and abused and see who the MFG. is. I think a car flag would really sell.

How about this one?

 

Sure, it's sheet metal and cut with a plasma cutter, but it's still a flag, right?

 

[+MamaDuck71]

I would totally buy this flag too!

A caching friend of our has a 3x5 white flag with the 4 colored squares on it....AND IT'S PERSONALIZED! Oh yea, Groundspeak could totally sell a ton of these. She got it years ago through Groundspeak. Go for it, Groundspeak:)
