Summary

email: enquiries@flags.co.uk

Endurance is a recently developed fabric that is significantly more durable compared with standard knitted polyester.

Spun polyester is a traditional looking and long lasting flag fabric which is approved by the MOD for naval flags.

Polymesh is a modern polyester fabric which is permeable and allows some of the wind to flow through it.

Knitted polyester is the standard flag material. It is durable, colour fast and lightweight whilst remaining cost effective.
