Hi-Vis Orange Team Flag (115gsm Fluor Knit)

Hi-Vis Orange Team Flag (115gsm Fluor Knit) — A knit built on a fluorescent ground, so the colour reads hot from a long way off, specified for sports banners.

Fluorescent pigments re-emit ultraviolet light as visible colour, which is why a fluorescent panel looks brighter than the light falling on it — most noticeably at dawn, at dusk and under overcast skies. Printing onto a fluorescent base keeps that effect live underneath your artwork instead of burying it under ink.

Sports graphics live outdoors, get handled by crowds, and have to read at genuine distance — from the far side of a pitch, from the back of a stand, or through a television camera.

Fluorescent orange

Fluorescent orange is the higher-contrast of the two safety colours against green, grey and blue backgrounds — vegetation, tarmac, concrete and sky. It is the usual choice for construction, highway and outdoor-site work, where the panel is seen against the landscape rather than against a building.

Best for

• Stadium perimeter and sponsor boards
• Championship and honours banners
• Team and locker-room banners
• Hand-held fan flags
• Match-day and hi-vis marshalling flags

Key advantages

• Fluorescent base stays conspicuous in the low, flat light where ordinary colour goes dull
• Reads clearly at distance, which suits safety marshalling, course marking and crowd direction
• Same light knitted handle as our standard flag fabric — packs and rigs the same way
• Dye-sublimated artwork sits over the fluorescent ground without dulling it
• Fast to deploy and easy to store between events

Specifications

Choosing the right specification

Design for the viewing distance before you design for the brand guidelines. A logo that works on a letterhead disappears at fifty metres. Increase stroke weight, drop the detail, and raise the contrast — then check it by viewing the artwork at the same relative distance on screen. For perimeter runs, vented mesh handles wind far better than a solid banner.

How ordering works

• Send your artwork — Upload print-ready artwork at any stage — we check scale, resolution and bleed before anything goes to press and come back to you if something needs adjusting.
• Made to your size — Every panel is cut and finished to your dimensions. Tell us the finished size you need and how it is being fixed, and we will allow for hems and fixings correctly.
• Printed by dye-sublimation — Colour is transferred into the polyester fibre under heat, so the image becomes part of the cloth rather than a layer sitting on top of it.
• Finished and shipped — Hems, eyelets, pole pockets, silicone edge and other finishing are applied before your order is folded, boxed and dispatched worldwide.

Technical detail

What to expect from service life. Indoors and out of direct sun, printed polyester holds its appearance for five years or more. Outdoors, published ranges for dye-sublimated polyester run from roughly six to twenty-four months depending on how exposed the position is, with the shorter end applying in high-ultraviolet regions such as the Southwest, Florida and the Gulf Coast, and in coastal or high-wind locations. Sheltered and north-facing installations reach the longer end. Coated and tarpaulin-grade constructions extend beyond that band because the coating carries the UV load.

Best suited to

High-visibility work where the panel has to be seen first and read fast — safety marshalling, course marking, sports and event perimeters.

For multi-season outdoor installations, our coated Oxford and PU ranges hold colour longer; for indoor décor, our satin and knit ranges give a softer finish.
