Description

Product Overview

These replacement graphics are all you need to completely re-skin an existing Flamingo Economy Flag. This can be a more cost-effective way of prolonging already-purchased units.

The graphic is made from one piece of flag material, securely stitched on the top and side to form the right-angled, two-pocket shape. A hem with a weighted nylon rod is added in the bottom edge to help hold and maintain the flag’s shape.

Base and pole not included with replacement graphics.

Specification

Shape

• The red line is the bleed line. Artwork must extend to this line. The area in between this line and the safe area line must only be used as a quiet area.
• The blue line is the finished line. This is the perimeter of the visible graphic area, after the hems and pole pockets have been added.
• The green line is the safe area line. Important content (text, logos etc.) must be kept within this line.

Notice

Please note, our replacement graphics are specifically designed and sized for product hardware that we sell. Using our replacement graphics on hardware that is not from us or not completely identical to ours may result in non-fitting or ill-fitting graphics.

If you are ordering replacement graphics for a unit you have previously purchased form us, please quote the original order ID. This will aid us in ensuring you have the most suitable replacement graphic for the hardware. This is especially important in cases where supplier hardware has altered slightly in the past, and where our latest templates may not be the required size for your model.

Not suitable for double sided flags.

Due to the nature of flag bases and flag poles, units can often lean slightly depending on the direction they are facing. This is normal behaviour and should be accompanied by securing the base as strongly as possible.

Consider where you position your flag, as air pollution will cause the white areas to become grey and UV can, over time, cause deterioration and fading to the fabric.

Flags can be washed in a regular washing machine on a 40° wash with everyday detergents. Always allow your flag to completely dry out before storing.

Ensure that your flag doesn’t catch or snag on its pole or any other surrounding objects. Do not place poles too close together.

Dismantle your flag during adverse weather conditions, including strong winds in excess of beaufort scale 4 (13-18mph). Heavy rain combined with high winds can increase the weight of the flag and put extra strain on the pole.

Life expectancy is entirely dependant on the climatic conditions and hours of flying. Realistic maximum lifespan of a regularly used flag is six months.
