Flag fabric made to your own size

Knitted polyester is the standard fabric for printed flags. At 117gsm it is light enough to fly in a breeze, and dye-sublimation printing gives 80–90% show-through, so a single-sided flag reads from both sides as a mirror image. It is printed in one continuous piece up to approximately 3000mm wide and finished on industrial sewing machines in a choice of six finishes, including rope and toggle for flagpoles. A real person checks your artwork before anything is printed.

Best for

Custom-size flags and other flag products, indoors and out

Artwork made easy

Every order includes a free artwork check by a real person — you don't need to ask. If we spot a problem, we'll contact you before anything gets printed.

Supply a print-ready CMYK PDF with fonts outlined or embedded. The resolution you need grows with the print size, so if your flag is near the 3-metre end, send the file over and we'll confirm it holds up. Remember the show-through: on a single-sided flag your design appears mirrored on the reverse, so centre any text and avoid anything that only reads one way round. Keep key content clear of the sewn edges.

Your artwork needs a 50mm bleed on every edge. Run your background out to it so no white edges show once it’s hemmed or trimmed. Crop marks aren’t needed; if your software adds them, keep them outside the bleed, and leave out any keylines or trim lines.

FAQs – Knitted Polyester

What is knitted polyester used for?

It is the standard fabric for printed flags, chosen because it is light enough to fly well and durable enough to keep doing it. It suits indoor and outdoor use.

Will my design show on both sides?

Yes, as a mirror image. The fabric has 80–90% show-through, so a single-sided print reads from the back in reverse.

What finishes can I choose?

Six: hems only, hems and eyelets, hems and corner-only eyelets, hem with Velcro, pole pockets, or rope and toggle. The thread is black or white, whichever suits your graphic better.

How wide can it be printed?

Up to approximately 3000mm in one continuous piece, depending on the finish, from a 3200mm roll. If you need more than 3 metres on the shortest edge, ask us for a quote.

Can it be washed?

Yes. The ink is heat-fixed into the fibres, so the fabric is machine washable. If you are unsure about the setting, ask us and we'll confirm.

How long does a flag last?

For a flag flown regularly, a realistic maximum is around six months, depending on the weather and the hours in use. Take it down in winds above Beaufort Scale 4 (13–18mph) and keep it clear of anything it could snag on.

Can Printlogik design my flag?

Yes. If you don't have artwork, or yours needs tidying up, our studio can set up your file or create the design from scratch. Ask for a design quote and we'll price it before you commit.
