Heavyweight polyester

Heavyweight polyester for flags is a robust and durable technical material, designed for applications requiring greater mechanical resistance and a more structured and prestigious appearance.

Heavyweight flag polyester is a robust and durable technical material, designed for applications requiring greater mechanical resistance and a more structured, authoritative appearance.

Thanks to its higher weight, it guarantees excellent stability even in sustained winds, keeping the flag tidy and clearly visible.

It is ideal for producing desk flags (sizes 10x15 – 14x21 – 16x24 cm), as well as covers, roll-ups, and larger flags up to a maximum size of 150x150 cm (beyond which the weight would prevent the flag from flying properly).

Made of 100% polyester, it features a thick, compact weave that ensures high resistance to tearing, wear, and weathering. The surface, generally matte or slightly satin-finished, offers excellent color rendering and long-lasting color fastness.

Heavyweight polyester is particularly suitable for institutional, commemorative, and permanent flags installed on fixed poles or in contexts where greater fabric solidity is required. It is compatible with dye-sublimation and various applications, thanks to its consistent and opaque structure.

Overall, heavyweight flag polyester represents a reliable, resistant, and professional choice, ideal for long-term outdoor installations and ceremonial use.
