How to Select the Right Fabric For Your Flags & Banners

Flags/Banners should be the most economic and commonly used way for promoting your business or for some other special purpose. On our online store (www.china-flag-makers.com), more than 20 different fabrics are available for making flags&banners. Each fabric has its own merits and can be used in different situations. Our fabrics can meet most of your needs. However, you must also be confused with so many options. What type of flag material is right for me?, Which one is better for outdoor use?, I need to use the flags in high wind place, which one do you recommend?...Take a look at this article, maybe you will get your answer.

 

If this is your first time purchasing flags&banners and you dont know anything about fabrics, the simplest way for you is to select the ones with a hot label on our online store (this way applies to all our products). These fabrics are the most popular among our customers and usually can meet more than 90% of their needs. For flags& banners, 100D Polyester and 110g Knitted Polyester are the most popular fabrics. They are economical, and light that can fly well on wind. And they also have a high penetration rate, so even single-sided print also performs well in logo displaying.


If 100D Polyester and 110g Knitted Polyester cannot meet your expectations, and you want fabrics with certain features, our website can also help. On each of our product pages, you just need to click the fabric, you will see detailed info about this fabric including picture, printing method, width, weight, and features. And among this info, the Features should be the most referential info for you. For example, if you want a flag that won't fade easily in the sun, then you can check which fabric is UV protected (600D PU Polyester). And for a flag that needs to be able to hold up to high winds,  a fabric with good ventilation (120g Mesh Polyester) is good for you.

 

Besides the features of fabric, you can also decide if a fabric suits you through other info like the name, the width, the weight, the printing method, and even the picture. The explanations of the following terms might help you better understand our fabrics.
