Printed Flags vs. Sewn Flags

Whether you are covering an entire sector or waving colors behind the goal, the manufacturing method makes all the difference. As a direct European manufacturer, Ultrasshop produces both modern printed flags and traditional sewn flags. Here is how to choose the right style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which flags are best for 90 minutes of constant waving?

Traditional sewn flags (60 g/m²) are the absolute lightest option. They move dynamically with even the slightest breeze, perfect for active sectors.

Can I order a massive sector flag using the sewn method?

Yes, for simple stripes or block colors. If your tifo design includes a detailed image or text, a printed sector flag with 3-meter wide panels is the professional choice.
