Bunting Bunting and more Bunting
Bunting: a quick guide
Bunting really is the ultimate celebratory decoration, from Jubilee's to Christmas there is bunting for every occassion. The question is which style of bunting do you go for?
PVC, the same material banners are made from, quick to print and easily customisable for your brand. On small runs it tends to be expensive on higher quantaties this is your perfect match
Pre-fabricated option, makes for a low cost on smaller quantities, however you are stuck when it comes to design, only 2 held in stock.
Polflex offers a cheap solution in the bunting world, if you are after plain colours then this is it really. They can be customised with vinyl grpahics / lettering, however this then becomes labour intensive and the Polyflex doesn't become the cheapest option. However it does make for great cheap red, white and blue style bunting.
Liven up any event in an eco friendly way, this material is made from ripstock recycled nylon bunting. It does mean the number of options is down to what comes to us, but if you are looking for a great eco alternative this is for you.

Should I get a single sided or double sided flag?
Should I have a single sided or double sided flag? This is one of the more frequent questions that we encounter. First of all let’s start by explaining them.
Single sided flags
A single sided flag is exactly that. Printed on one side, but what a lot of people don’t expect is that the design is mirror imaged onto the reverse of the flag. This means your design can be viewed from both sides.
Double sided flags
A double sided flag is essentially two flags sewn together with a blanking sheet in the middle to stop show through.
So why would you choose a single sided flag over a double sided flag and vice a versa?
90% of the orders we receive are for single sided flags. Double sided flags sound like a great idea, but in reality there are some drawbacks. The way double sided flags are made (two flags sewn together with a blanking sheet in the middle), mean they tend to turn out very heavy and unfortunately don’t fly as well as a single sided flag. The other drawback is that they are quite expensive! Double flags do look great but because of these drawbacks they are probably not the best choice for the majority of people.

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Olympics and Paralympics are over....What’s next?
I’ll start off by saying what an amazing year it has been so far. A good old fashioned national celebration for Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee where communities were united at street parties, followed by an absolutely fantastic Olympic and Paralympics games in London where Team GB and Paralympics GB did the whole country proud. As Flags, Flagpoles and Bunting suppliers it was fantastic to see so many people supporting the nation with Team GB flags, Union Flags and decorating their street parties with bunting. With such a great start and middle to the year let’s keep the Flag flying going all year round! Halloween Flags and yes the dreaded “C” word....Christmas flags are now on sale.
