Materials and Printing
Our feather banners are crafted using high-quality materials and state-of-the-art printing techniques to ensure vibrant, long-lasting results:
Flag Material
We use premium 115gsm knitted polyester flag fabric, known for its durability, lightweight properties, and excellent print reproduction. This material is designed to withstand outdoor conditions while maintaining its visual appeal.
Printing Process
Our flags are printed using dye sublimation, a process that infuses the ink directly into the fabric fibres. This results in vibrant, fade-resistant colours that won't crack, peel, or wash away. The dye sublimation process also allows for full-colour printing, including gradients and photographic images.
Single-Sided vs Double-Sided Printing
We offer both single-sided and double-sided printing options:
- Single-sided: The design is printed on one side, with approximately 95% show-through on the reverse. This is our standard option and is suitable for most applications.
- Double-sided: Two separate printed flags are sewn together with a blackout liner in between, ensuring 100% opacity and allowing for different designs on each side.
Colour Options and Customisation
Our feather banners can be printed in full colour, allowing for unlimited design possibilities. We can match specific Pantone colours (uncoated) to ensure brand consistency across your marketing materials.

Creating the perfect feather banner for your brand is easy with our flexible design options:
