Nautical Polyester

Our standard outdoor flag fabric, and the one most customers choose. 100% polyester, 115 g/m², tightly knitted with no mesh holes, so colours stay bright and the flag dries quickly after rain. Resistant to sunlight, suitable indoors and outdoors. Machine washable at 30°C.

Long Life

A heavier fabric for flags that fly all year. 100% polyester, 120 g/m², knitted with a denser, knotted weave that holds its shape and resists tearing at the hoist. Resistant to wind and sunlight — the choice when Nautical Polyester does not last long enough. Machine washable at 30°C.

Storm Flag

Our most wind-resistant fabric, for exposed places. 100% polyester, 115 g/m², woven so it cannot run or fray, with reinforced holes that let gusts through instead of pulling at the seams. Resistant to wind and sunlight. Machine washable at 30°C.

Satin

A glossy, silky fabric for indoor and ceremonial flags. 100% polyester, 125 g/m², opaque, so the design shows through to the back only faintly — a double-sided satin flag is sewn from two panels with a lining between them. For room flags, table flags and presentation. Machine washable at 30°C.

Display

A heavy fabric for decoration and banners, not for flying. 100% polyester, 220 g/m², thick and opaque, so the print is visible on the front only. Resistant to sunlight, for indoor and outdoor decoration. Machine washable at 30°C.

Direct Print, 90% reverse

Printed straight onto the fabric with CMYK disperse dyes made for polyester. A special coating carries the colour through the weave, so the back shows about 90% of the colour of the front. The colours are fixed with heat at 185°C, which makes them washable and slow to fade.

Direct Print, full reverse

Printed straight onto the fabric with CMYK disperse dyes made for polyester. A special coating carries the colour right through the weave, so the back looks the same as the front. The colours are fixed with heat at 185°C, which makes them washable and slow to fade.

Sublimation Print

The design is printed on paper and pressed into the fabric with heat, which gives the sharpest detail we can produce — the right choice for fine lines, small lettering and photographs. The colours become part of the fibre, so they cannot crack or peel, and the flag is washable. The back stays unprinted.
