Description
Flag PET is a transparent, polyester fabric with a fine texture and slightly glossy appearance. It is made from 100% recycled PET bottles. Flag and Flag PET have exactly the same characteristics and appearance. So are you going for sustainability? Then choose Flag PET.
The material is weather resistant and is wind permeable due to its open structure. Thus, the material can be used outdoors without being immediately blown to pieces.
Like Flag and Flag Longlife, this material has a maximum one-piece print width of 306 cm. Weighing 110 grams/m2, this is a very light material.
Print visible on the back
This material is printed on one side only. Due to the fine texture, the print prints through on the back of the material. As much as 98% of the print comes back on the back in mirror image. Your print is thus clearly visible on both sides.
Most common applications
Flag PET can be used both indoors and outdoors. It has a fire certificate and is therefore also suitable for public areas. The material is used as a banner, beach flag, banner flag, building fence banner and facade flag.
The inks are not UV light resistant. So over time the colors will fade in outdoor applications. However, this process will take longer than the life of the material, so this need not be a problem.
Different flag materials
Flag, Flag PET and Flag Longlife are three materials that are tremendously similar. Flag is the basic variant and has good quality. Flag PET is similar to the basic variety in everything. The only difference is the durability of the material. In fact, this material is 100% made from recycled material. Flag Longlife does not fray as quickly due to its slightly coarser structure. As a result, hemming is not necessary and the delivery time is shorter than the other variants.
Finishing options
Flag PET has many finishing options. The most common is a strap with hooks. You use this for a mast flag. At the top of the flag there will then often be a tunnel, this way your flag will be easy to see and read even without wind power. To extend the life of the material, you can choose to have it hemmed. The material frays quickly, but because of the hem, this no longer happens.
In addition, another option is to add velcro, tunnels, strap with d-rings, strap with cord or a strap with rings.
