How long does a flag last?

Did you know that a Premium flag lasts an average of 3-6 months with intensive use? After this period, flags often show some wear and the colors fade. 3-6 months does not seem like a long time, but imagine that in most cases the flag is simply hanging outside 24 hours a day, in all kinds of weather. That has quite an impact on the materials.

The lifespan of a flag does of course depend on the circumstances the flag has to deal with. Certain weather conditions, such as wind, sun and rain, play a decisive role in this. For example, if you live on the coast where there is more wind, a flag will last less than in a wooded area, where there is little wind. In addition, we advise you not to hang your flags and banners in the mast at wind force 6 or higher.
