Endurance Polyester: Lightweight and ultra-durable, lasting double the life of our standard knitted. This is our newest fabric, developed to be extremely durable and suitable for long term use.
ECO Knitted Polyester: Produced from 100% recycled materials and meeting the same high quality as our standard knitted polyester. Approximately 2 plastic bottles have been used to make 1sqm of material. We can print vivid colours and crisp designs, making sure your promotional messages and branding stand out. Our Eco Knitted Polyester will provide you with an impressive looking display that is environmentally sustainable.
Spun Polyester: This is a more traditional material which we use for our sewn flags. This material is not available to buy online.
There are two printing methods that we offer, digital and screen printing.
Digitally Printed Custom Landscape Flags
Digital printing is ideal for small and medium sized print runs, making it the more cost effective method when printing 1-100 flags. Digital printing is a fast process meaning that you will be provided with shorter lead times and recieve your flags as soon as possible.
Our digital printers are capable of printing double and mirror sided flags. Using advanced technology they can also print any design and any colour, allowing you to create innovative designs that match your exact requirements.
Screen Printed Custom Landscape Flags
Screen printing flags is the most cost effective method when printing large quantities, the more you order the less you pay per flag.
The screen printing process allows for up to 8 colours to be printed on each flag. This allows you to create a flag with bold colours that stands out and looks professional. Our screen printers can print up to a maximum of 5.8m x 2.0m. Currently through our online shop we are only able to offer our digitally printed flags, however, for larger orders and for screen printing options please get in contact with us.

Ask us about our new Pollutant eating coating which we can apply to your flags!
EnhanceAir®, Powered by PURETiTM Light-activated coating that destroys air pollution.
When applied to outdoor advertising media, EnhanceAir turns any treated material into an air purifying surface that not only enhances human health, but contributes to the fight against global warming.
- The coating is transparent and does not impact the appearance or durability of the ad itself.
- Typically applied as the last step in the printing process.
- No changes are required in the installation process.
- It does not affect the recyclability of the material.
THE SCIENCE OF ENHANCEAIR: PHOTOCATALYSIS
When UVA light energy activates the coating, it starts a chemical process that turns nearby oxygen and water vapor into two powerful cleaning agents (OH-* and O2-*)
• These two cleaning agents convert pollutants into harmless minerals and gasses.
• The active mineral is a catalyst, so it is not consumed in the process. It continues to work as long as it is on the surface and has access to humidity and light.
• The process happens only at the surface and repeats constantly to clean the surface and the air that comes in contact with it.
Why NOx?
Nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2) are formed during combustion. NOx is harmful in several ways:
• It irritates airways and increases susceptibility to allergens.
• It combines with other pollutants in the air to create smog, acid rain, PM2.5 and ground level ozone, which contributes to global warming.
• Increases risk of heart disease, stroke, COPD, and lung cancer.
• It has a much higher Global Warming Potential than CO2.
NOx is an indirect greenhouse gas. It does not trap heat directly, but leads to the creation of other gases, like ozone, that are greenhouse gases. It is included on the list of gases that countries report in their greenhouse gas inventories.
EnhanceAir fights climate change and improves human health by destroying NOx and other pollutants. It helps lower the greenhouse gas footprint, but not the carbon footprint.
Proven Laboratory and Real World Results
Using a test based on the ISO 22197-1 standard, we pass a fixed amount of NOx across a treated surface where the air is in contact with the surface for only 1 second on average before being replaced by new polluted air at the same concentration. The concentration of NOx is measured as it exits the chamber.
