Anti-Fray
Anti-fray netting can be added to any national flag to improve the flags longevity and prevent extensive repairs. The netting is sewn onto the flag externally to offer protection to the flags hem. The hem is the most vulnerable part of the flag due to the strain at which it is under, hence anti-fray is useful in reducing this.
Flag Change Service
To make a memorable first impression and maintain a professional appearance, national flags should be replaced regularly.
Our team provides scheduled inspections, replacements and repairs to ensure every country flag remains in excellent condition.
