What is your standard size flag?

We do not have a standard size flag as it will vary depending on what you require your flag for. However, our most common flag size is a 2 yard (1800mm x 900mm) and this is the best size flag for a 6m pole

What different types of materials are available?

Our fully sewn flags are generally made on poly woven fabric, sometimes referred to as woven bunting. This is the most traditional flag fabric and longest lasting. We also make some flags out of nylon, such as Pride flags, as the fabric has a vast range of vibrant colours. Nylon is what is generally used in American style flags as it doesn't absorb water in the same way, so it is lighter and will fly in lighter breezes. 

For printed flags, we offer both poly-knitted and poly woven fabric.

What is your highest quality material?

Our fully sewn flags are of the highest quality and most durable. Our fully sewn flags are 100% handmade and utilise the appliqué process. Fully sewn flags are crafted by using layers of fabric and custom stitching to create the desired pattern. Through stitching various components onto the base fabric, fully sewn flags are the most elegant, longest lasting and highest quality.
