Flags & Banners
Flags and Banners printing is an effective and visually striking way to capture attention and convey messages for businesses, events, or campaigns. Unlike other ways of advertising, flags and banners are highly noticeable, inexpensive and mobile. They are versatile and can be used both indoors and outdoors, making them a popular choice for everything from trade shows and conventions to store openings and sporting events. Whether you’re a small business looking to catch the eye of passersby or a large corporation aiming to make a splash at a major event, promotional flags are a great investment for effective marketing.

Material and Print Quality
When it comes to materials, durability is a key factor, especially for flags intended for outdoor use. Polyester is the most commonly used material due to its resilience against the elements. High-quality print is also essential. Digital printing allows for intricate designs and a broad spectrum of colours, ensuring that logos and text are crisp and readable from a distance.
Design Considerations
Effective design is crucial for maximising the impact of your promotional flags. The design should be simple enough to be understood at a glance but engaging enough to hold attention. Also, make sure that the use of colours aligns with the brand or event theme. Have a chat with one of our designers if you want advice on the best way to design your flags for maximum impact.
Environmental Factors
When designing and printing promotional flags, it’s also vital to consider environmental factors like wind, rain, and sun exposure. UV-resistant inks can help in maintaining the flag’s appearance over time, while double-sided printing may offer increased visibility, especially in windy conditions.
Cost-Effectiveness
One of the biggest advantages of promotional flag printing is its cost-effectiveness. Unlike digital advertising that requires ongoing investment, a well-made promotional flag is a one-time expense that can be used again and again. Additionally, flags are lightweight and portable, offering ease of transport and installation.
Sustainability and Eco-Consciousness
As the worldwide focus on sustainability and eco-consciousness grows, Glasgow is no exception to the trend. Many businesses and organizations are opting for eco-friendly printing options to align with the city’s commitment to reducing environmental impact.
This includes using recycled paper, vegetable-based inks, and minimising waste during the printing process. By incorporating sustainable practices into flyer and leaflet printing, Nettl of Glasgow demonstrates its dedication to both effective marketing and responsible stewardship of the environment.
Outdoor Banners
Outdoor banners are constructed to withstand the elements. As a result, they are generally made from heavier, more durable materials like heavy-duty vinyl or canvas. UV-resistant inks are commonly used to ensure that the colours don’t fade quickly in sunlight. The print quality might be slightly lower than indoor banners, but they are designed to be legible from a distance and to endure the challenges of the outdoor environment such as strong winds, rain, and direct sunlight.
When it comes to mounting, outdoor banners are usually equipped with stronger eyelets and may even have reinforced corners. Some use mesh material to allow wind to pass through, reducing wind resistance and increasing durability. They are often seen hanging on street poles, fences, or the sides of buildings, making them highly visible for outdoor events, sales promotions, and other forms of outdoor advertising.
Indoor Banners
Indoor banners are typically used in environments where they are less exposed to the elements. Common locations include shopping malls, trade shows, conferences, and indoor sporting events. The materials used for indoor banners are usually lighter and may not be as durable as those meant for outdoor use. Commonly used materials include lighter vinyl, polyester, and even paper. The print quality for indoor banners is often higher, offering more detail and a wider colour gamut, as they are viewed from a closer distance and not exposed to sun, wind, or rain.
Because they’re used indoors, these banners often come with various mounting options, such as grommets, pole pockets, or adhesive backing for easy placement. They can also be double-sided and offer a higher level of detail, as the lighting conditions are more controlled. Since they are protected from the weather, indoor banners have a longer lifespan when kept away from sunlight.
