What is the difference between knitted polyester, woven and fully sewn flags?

Each fabric offers unique characteristics to suit various environments and purposes. Knitted polyester is a lightweight fabric suitable for indoor and outdoor use that flies easily in the wind, recommended for calm to moderate environments. Woven polyester is a heavy-duty linen-look fabric designed for both indoor and outdoor use, longer-lasting and more durable than knitted polyester with higher UV resistance for harsher conditions. Fully sewn flags are the most prestigious-looking option, made from the same woven polyester material as flag bunting but with the design sewn on rather than printed, giving it a premium look.

What is a life span of knitted, woven and fully sewn flags?

It is very hard to determine the life span of a flag due to unpredictable weather conditions and other external factors like dust. Flags flown continuously can last between 3-9 months, but taking your flag down at night and in strong winds can extend its lifespan up to 2 years.

What should I do to prolong the life of the flag?

Watch the corners on the 'fly' end of your flag — it's the first area to show signs of wear and tear. Trim off the worn hem and re-hem the ends promptly to greatly extend the life of your flag. Avoid flying a dirty flag, as dirt is sharp and cuts fabrics, dulls colours and causes wear. Most outdoor flags can be washed using a mild detergent in a domestic washing machine.

What is the correct way to dispose of a national flag?

To dispose of an old national flag, cut it up into unrecognisable small pieces and place it in the bin. You can also recycle your flags with Flagworld — contact us for more information or a quote.
