How durable are your flags?
The lifespan of your flag is greatly influenced by the weather as well as the location of where the flag is being used. For example coastal and windier sites reduce the lifespan of a flag.
Lifespan can also be heavily influenced by the material  and method of manufacturing. We constantly monitor the wet fastness and light fastness of inks used in our digital and screen printing processes.
We offer a range of quality materials to suit different needs, customer requirements and expected lifespans from conventional knitted polyester to our new long lasting Zephpol IEP.
We have created a couple of guides to instruct in the care of your falg to help lengthen it’s life and a sheet explaining the different cloths avaialable and their pros and cons. Please click on the buttons below to download the guides.

Can you recycle my flag?
Unfortunately at present we cannot recycle your old flag. We are continually looking at new technology and innovations to help remedy this situation. We can provide flags made from recycled plastic if required but at present we are limited as to what can be achieved with spent flags.

What is your company's environmental policy?
We at Zephyr have a work ethic with a high level of awareness of waste management, waste minimisation and a desire to recycle and reuse materials when practical. We endeavour to reduce the use of plastic and reduce our carbon footprint.
We encourage employees in our office and on our sites to promote and establish recycling schemes that are relevant to their individual activities.

So in a “throw-away society” with over consumption and excessive production of short-lived or disposable items over durable goods. We are trying to radically shift peoples habits from short-term buying to long-term buying one quality flag at a time. We have introduced environmentally friendly mounting options and our new IEP flags last longer reducing waste. We continue to investigate and invest in a cleaner and greener future.
