Silky Promo Flag Banner (210T Taffeta)

Silky Promo Flag Banner (210T Taffeta) — The lightest cloth we print — a crisp, papery taffeta that reads through to the reverse, specified for promotional banners.

Taffeta is a tightly woven, very fine cloth with a dry, slightly crisp handle and a faint sheen. At this weight it is almost nothing to carry, which is what makes it the standard choice for hand-waved flags and short-run ceremonial pieces. Because the cloth is so thin, the printed image shows through as a soft mirrored ghost on the back.

Promotional banners are the everyday workhorse — short campaigns, quick turnarounds, and a need to look sharp for as long as the offer runs and no longer.

Best for

• Storefront and sale-header banners
• Hanging ceiling banners
• Retail promotional walls
• Sidewalk and A-frame inserts
• Feather and forecourt promo flags

Key advantages

• Lightest option in the range — lifts and flies in barely any wind at all
• Packs down to almost nothing, which keeps shipping and storage costs low on large quantities
• Crisp woven surface holds fine line work and small type more sharply than an open knit
• Soft sheen gives a ceremonial look that suits parade and presentation pieces
• The most economical way to produce a printed flag in volume

Specifications

Choosing the right specification

Buy for the campaign, not for the decade. If the offer runs six weeks, a light knit does the job at the lowest cost and stores flat for reuse next season. Save the coated wovens for anything going up permanently. If you rotate messaging often, consider a frame system with interchangeable fabric skins — the frame is the capital cost, the graphics are cheap.

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

Hand-carried and short-run work where weight is the deciding factor — wave flags, ceremonial pieces and high-volume promotional flags.
