FAQ

About Our Products

What is difference between pennant, camp flag and banner ?

Great question! Pennants are our classic triangular flags with printed designs, and camp flags and championship banners are often four- or five-sided. Camp flags are typically smaller than banners and feature printed graphics, while banners are often larger-format with stitched designs. All three include sewn banding or borders.

How do I find a product that I saw on social media on your website?

Easy! Type the words or a defining characteristic (i.e. “heart,” “skull,” “panther,” etc.) on the flag into the search field at the top of our site.

If that doesn’t do the trick, it could be a custom that we designed specially for a customer. Don’t worry, friend, we can create a custom for you too!

 

What are your products made of?

All of our house pennants, camp flags and banners are produced with wool felt blend.

 

How are your products made?

All of our products are made using a hands-on process at our manufacturing studio. We design, cut, sew, print and ship everything in downtown Buffalo, New York!

 

Are your products weather resisitant?

Only our products with “Outdoor” in the name are weather resistant and intended for outdoor use. Check ‘em out!

But wool felt? Exposed to the elements? Don't bother.

 

Can I use my custom pennant artwork for my _____ (wedding invites, t-shirts, website, etc.)

We're usually happy to release art files, depending on the application. Fees may apply. Email us!

custom projects

How do I order a custom pennant or banner?

 

How are custom projects made?

Custom projects usually take about four to six weeks to ship from the date of artwork approval. Please be aware that the date of artwork approval is different than the date of the request.

Can you match your felt colors to a pantone color?

Nope! But we can match pantone colors in screenprinting and we offer roughly two dozen felt color options. Our fully stitched flags and banners are limited to the felt colors that we stock.

Let us know what you have in mind and we’ll work with you to come up with a creative solution.

 

How much do custom projects cost?

Projects vary on size, complexity, colors, turnaround time and more! Email us at oxford@oxfordpennant.com or fill out this form with your ideas for a quote on a project!

 

Do you design logos?

Nope! We’re just a humble pennant company, friend. If you’d like us to design something that’s not a logo and put it on a pennant, we’d be happy to oblige.

Framing

How can I have a retail or custom product from Oxford Pennant framed?

There are a few of things to know:

  • Frames cannot be sent on their own. If you try to frame a pennant at home you will be so, so disappointed. Let us frame it for you!
  • Frames are available in black, white and natural wood
  • All frames are made to order in our hometown of Buffalo
  • A frame must be purchased in the same transaction as a separate pennant - if you order multiple pennants, we’ll email you to discuss which should be framed
  • The framing process takes approximately 15 business days as long as the pennant is in-stock
  • Price includes UPS ground shipping within the Continental US - international customers, please contact us for more info

All frames are final sale.

 

Can I have a vintage pennant that I own framed?

Absolutely! Framing is a great way to hang and preserve your vintage pennant. Send us an email and we’ll work with you to coordinate shipping and help pick out the right frame to highlight your classic flag.

Shipping

How long will my retail order take to ship? Will I be notified?

We offer a variety of shipping options at checkout for our house products, which ship Monday through Friday. Shipping may take longer during high volume times. Orders that are placed using standard methods of shipping (or fee shipping) are sent within a week of purchase as long as the item is in stock. Orders received after 3 p.m. are not eligible for shipping until the following day. Expedited shipments placed after 3 p.m. on Fridays will not be shipped until the following Monday. 

We like to keep you in the loop, so you’ll receive a purchase confirmation email and a separate communication with tracking info once your order ships.

Custom orders are a completely different beast and vary greatly based on the project - from a couple of days to several weeks. If you’re interested in learning more about our customs process, check out our customs page or shoot us a message.

 

What shipping options do you offer?

We have multiple shipping options for your order at checkout, including USPS, UPS and Flavorcloud, a third-party service for international shipments. If you qualify for free shipping, the order will be sent via USPS First Class Mail, which usually in about three (3) business days during low-volume times. Shipping in December? All bets are off. If you need it quickly, select a UPS shipping option.

 

Do you ship internationally?

Of course! International shipping rates apply. More information is available at checkout.

 

I need it yesterday! Can I pay a rush fee?

Shopping for a last-minute gift and need it fast? We do offer expedited shipping, but it’ll cost ya! How much, you ask? Send us a message and we’ll share options with you.

 

Why did only some of my items ship?

We do our best to send your full order in one shipment, but we know you’re as excited to receive your new pennants as we are to send them! In some cases, if an item is out of stock or backordered, we’ll ship the products we have in-stock first. Who doesn’t love getting more packages?
