Beach flags and feather flags in hemp or CiCLO®
Choose the shape first. Sign is the rectangular beach flag with a straight top edge, which keeps a longer text readable; Event is the curved feather flag. Both come in small, medium and large, and the configurator shows the exact size in centimetres for the production route you pick.
In CiCLO® polyester a beach flag is light and unfurls in less wind. It is printed on one side, with up to 98% show-through. CiCLO® polyester biodegraded 90 to 94% in independent ASTM lab tests, after 952 to 1,362 days. The hardware (frame, bag, mounts) is not part of that result.
In Hemptex® (55% hemp, 45% cotton, no polyester) it is a beach flag with no plastic fibres, printed in the Netherlands. The finished Hemptex® flag, with its print and seams, has not been tested for biodegradation.
The configurator offers what holds the flag up, for the flag you configure: foot plates, cross and parasol bases, ground pegs and plugs, stands, a carrying bag and wall mounts. Where the flag is made and how long it takes depends on the production route; you see both before you order.
Recycled PET is still conventional polyester. How the two materials compare: the myth of the recycled flag.
