Your Choice of Material
Our flags are available in three fabric types: Knitted Polyester, Woven Polyester, and Fully Sewn. Each fabric offers unique characteristics to suit various environments and purposes. It is important to understand the differences in order to choose the right type of flag for your needs.
Knitted polyester: A lightweight fabric that flies easily in the wind. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Recommended for calm to moderate conditions, as it will fly even in a slight breeze.
Woven polyester: A heavy-duty linen-look fabric designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Considered to be longer-lasting and more durable than knitted polyester, and has a higher UV resistance, making it suitable for harsher environments.
Fully sewn: These flags offer the most prestigious and traditional look. They are made from woven polyester sewn together to produce a design. Flags 2280mm x 1140mm and larger feature heavy-duty brass clips for added support, while smaller flags come with noise-reducing plastic clips.
Please Note: If fully sewn flags are not currently in stock, manufacturing may take up to 10 business days. If your flag is needed urgently please contact our team to check estimated time.
Finding the Right Size
Our flags are made to the Australian standard ratio of 1:2.
The standard sized flag for flying on a 6-metre flagpole is 1800x900mm, approximately 2 yards.
We offer a range of sizes to suit different flagpole heights or indoor displays. Find the right size for you in the chart below, or contact us for custom sizing options.
Durable Craftsmanship: A Testament to Quality
With six decades of industry expertise, we take pride in offering flags of unparalleled quality. Our commitment to durability includes:
Optimal Dyeing and Sewing: Meticulous testing of ink formulations and processes ensures vibrant colours and lasting finish. Flags are washed after printing for impeccable feel and shine.
Expert Stitching: Our seasoned sewers hand-finish each flag using tried-and-tested techniques. Secure stitching provides longevity in flight. Flag edges are hemmed to resist fraying.
Easy Maintenance: Our polyester flags can be washed with a mild detergent to keep them clean and reduce wear and tear.

Our stock flags are available in three main fabric types: Knitted Polyester, Woven Polyester, and Fully Sewn. Each fabric offers unique characteristics to suit various environments and purposes. It is important to understand the differences in order to choose the right type of flag for your needs.
Knitted polyester is a lightweight fabric that is suitable for indoor and outdoor use and flies easily in the wind. It is recommended for use in calm to moderate environments, as it will fly even in a slight breeze.
Woven polyester is a heavy-duty linen-look fabric that is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It is considered to be longer-lasting and more durable than knitted polyester, and has a higher UV resistance, making it suitable for harsher conditions.
Fully sewn flags are the most prestigious-looking option. They are made from the same woven polyester material as flag bunting, but the design is sewn on rather than printed, giving it a premium look.
It's important to note that flag life will depend on weather conditions including wind, rain, and UV exposure. For tips on maximising the lifespan of your flag, visit our Flag Care page.
Flags are subjected to the elements. Ultra violet rays and high winds cause the breakdown of fibres in flags, particularly the breakdown of the sewn edges at the extremities.
Avoid Strong Winds: bring your flag down when strong winds are forecast, to avoid excessive wear and early damage.
Rest Overnight: flying the flag overnight almost doubles exposure to winds, unless required take flags down at dusk and raise at dawn.
Select the right material: woven polyester fabric is more durable to withstand strong winds. Knitted polyester flies best in light to moderate winds.
Flags must fly freely: ensure flags fly clear of buildings and other objects to avoid wear from rubbing.
Expected Life: flags flown continuously last 3 - 9 months, but can last up to 2 years if brought in at night and out of strong winds.
