It’s an easy category to overlook until you need one — a caterer plating a hundred appetizer skewers for a corporate event, a bakery topping a batch of cupcakes for a themed party, a bar service branding a round of cocktails for a sponsor activation.
Toothpick flags (also known as flag toothpicks, miniture flags, or cupcake flags) are a popular way to decorate food dishes and drinks for any event. Whether you use them for branding, labeling, or just decorating, toothpick flags can spear garnishes, hold together sandwiches, decorate cupcakes, label appetizers, or just be there for the convenience of guests and customers.
Mini custom flags for birthday parties, corporate celebrations, bakeries, and themed events. This is often printed with a logo, name, or event colours.
Catering companies and event planners use branded toothpick flags to dress up plated appetizers at corporate functions, weddings, and receptions.
Bars, restaurants, and sponsor activations use custom mini flags to brand a signature drink or mark a themed cocktail menu.
Food trade shows, grocery demos, and tasting events use toothpick flags to label or brand small food samples handed out to attendees.
Smaller runs of standard country or provincial mini flags for themed parties, international food events, or classroom geography activities.
A simple, low-cost way to get a company logo or event branding onto every plate or drink at a conference, gala, or product launch.
We are the only company that carries all ten Canadian provincial toothpick flags. Provincial toothpick flags bring an extra special touch to food and drinks at networking affairs, such as provincial government and tourism events. If you are looking for the three Canadian territories toothpick flags, they can be ordered as custom toothpick flags.
Each provincial toothpick flag is approximately 1″ x 1.5″, on a 2.75″ toothpick and each package has 50 toothpick flags. These toothpick flags are SGS certified and FDA approved for food contact.
Each Pride and Transgender toothpick flag is approximately 1″ x 1.5″, on a 2.5″ toothpick and each package has 50 toothpick flags. Our Transgender toothpick flags are SGS certified and FDA approved for food contact. Made in China. Designed and made for The Flag Shop.
We also carry world toothpick flags such as Germany, Greece, and Mexico. We’re always adding new flags to our collection! If you don’t see the country toothpick flags you wish to purchase, they may be available through a special order (price may vary). Contact us for more details.
Tell us your event date, expected quantity, design or logo, and we’ll confirm food-safe materials, print legibility at small scale, and bulk pricing for your toothpick flag order.
Yes, the picks used for this category are food-safe by design, since they’re intended to be inserted directly into food or drinks.
Minimum order quantities for FDA approved toothpicks (safe for food contact): 5,000 toothpicks per size per design. Please contact us for more details.
Yes, custom branding is a standard option, not an upgrade. We’ll advise on simplifying a detailed logo if needed so it stays legible at this small scale.
The materials used are chosen to resist moisture-related curling or colour bleed for the typical duration these picks are in use at an event, though they’re designed for event-length use rather than indefinite soaking.
Since these are almost always tied to a fixed event date, we recommend ordering as soon as your quantity and design are confirmed. The turnaround is generally fast, but volume orders still need adequate lead time.
Yes, many event and catering orders combine a primary branded design with a secondary or themed set. Let us know what you need when requesting a quote.
