Designed for Reliable Outdoor Performance 

MrFlag® best quality outdoor printed England flags are among the most versatile and best value flags on the market. Manufactured by us to produce optimum flying weights from top-quality materials, our knitted polyester option is a fantastic combination of flyability and durability. For an even more durable option, try our exclusive Rhyfeler ™ polyester.

We expect our outdoor printed flags to last as well as sewn flags, whilst flying much better at lower wind speeds. In our view, heavier sewn flags appear to last longer only because they spend less time flying in light wind.

If another flag maker claims that sewn flags last longer than printed ones for the same number of visible flying hours, challenge them to provide the test data!

Colour and Print Quality 

Our colours are bright and vivid. We start with vibrant RGB art and lay down our own 8 colour bi-directional print onto the fabric, forcing far more ink through the weave than many of our competitors. Our flags regularly test as 95% show-through; a difference which is very nearly indistinguishable to the untrained eye. Poor show-through on flags is almost always the result of cutting corners with ink volumes or value-adding processes.

'Anti-fray' netting option.

Choosing the Antifray option results in a piece of white netting being sewn to the right edge of an outdoor flag. It is commonly believed that the netting will fray first, extending the life of the flag. However, there is no statistical evidence to support this theory. We believe this is an unnecessary expense, which in some cases achieves the opposite result. We offer an 'antifray' option ONLY because customers occasionally insist on it. Furthermore, we do not recommend it.

Made to order.

England flags are made to order, and customers should allow 5-7 days for them to be manufactured and dispatched. If your order is time-sensitive, please tell us at the time of ordering.

How long do Mr Flag flags last?

Even quality flags as durable and well-made as ours will succumb to high winds. Strong and frequent winds will require you to replace your flag sooner. This is normal wear and tear.

We regularly receive reports of our standard 115-130gsm knitted polyester flags lasting 12-18 months or longer, but this is not the norm and should not be expected.

You can increase the life of any flag by taking it down at night, avoiding flying it during periods of severe weather, and also by ensuring that the flagpole is free of rough patches and protrusions upon which the flag can catch.
