Ultra Violet Rays Affect Flag Life.

Water Based Dyes are used in the printing process and this means that Ultra Violet (UV) rays affect the flags quicker than many other print processes. Some colours will deteriorate quicker than others – testing is underway to try to extend the colour integrity of all flags. UV rays and high winds cause the breakdown of fibres in flags, particularly the extremities and sewn edges. As light does not ‘illuminate’ the back of Double Sided flags, the impression is that UV affects Double Sided flags quicker.

Increase Flag Life By allowing flag to Fly Freely!

To increase the life of your flag, ensure that it flies freely. It should not be impeded by surrounding structures. It is important that it is properly attached to the pole so that it does not wrap itself around it repeatedly. If you wish to maximise its life, bring it in each evening and in bad weather. Note, flags are not designed to be secured by all four corners.

Good Flag Design Means Being Everything to Everyone. A flag usually represents something large that contains many smaller, diverse things. That means it needs to go for more universal imagery, to encompass everything. While there may be certain things you want to focus on, be careful that your designs aren’t coming off too select or niche. The more all-inclusive the design, the bigger it seems. Take the United States American flag as an example. The fifty stars symbolize all 50 states, bringing a sense of inclusivity.
