Installing Your DPG Pole Wraps is Easy

Learn how to apply your pole wraps to your colorguard flags to create a beautiful look that will last the whole season!

  1. First, attach your flag to the pole as you normally would, taping the silk to the pole at the top and tab.
  2. Match your pole wrap up to the top of the tape at the tab, to just past the bottom of the pole. If needed, trim any excess from your pole wrap. Pro Tip: If you have a design continuing from the tab, be sure to trim at the bottom of the wrap!
  3. Remove the backing from the pole wrap.
  4. Begin by pressing the pole wrap to the pole from top to bottom and smoothing out any bubbles or wrinkles as you go. Continue working up and down the length of the pole as you turn it, and smoothing out the vinyl as you go.
  5. Install and tape your bolts and stoppers as you normally would.
  6. Remove the backing from your tip cover, and begin applying from pole side, smoothing it out as you work around the tip.
  7. Cut on the lines at the top, and push each strip down as you work around the top. Repeat for the other stopper.
