Materials & Colours
Polycotton:
The standard material used for most
flags, and is available in many colours
(other colours may be available on
request):
Black
White
Red
Wine
Royal Blue
Navy Blue
Light Blue
Yellow
Orange
Dark Green
Polyester:
This is beneficial for large waving flags,
of a size bigger than about 6ft x 6ft, as it is
lighter, although, not as hardwearing as Polycotton.
It comes in a slightly different range of colours
(other colours may be available on
request):
Either 15mm
plastic tubing (for smaller flags) or 22mm
tubing (for larger flags).
For most length handles, they are made of 3
parts
(see photos), allowing
them to be quickly put
together and taken apart, and also for
unobtrusive carrying.
The 22mm
type is made with 16mm wooden dowel rod inserts in the lower two
parts (15mm tube type has 12mm dowel).
As an example, a four ft long
22mm handle is made of three
parts, each just 20 inches in length.
The usual price
of these handles is £5 (dependant on length).
3-part handle
3
sections of handle
Handle in flag sleeve
Handles for flags over 5 ft in
height are made from telescopic carbon fibre (the
price is usually less than £10, but again dependant
on length).
