Discover the Benefits of Knit Poly for Your Custom Printed Flags

Custom Printed Knit Poly Flags at ATLAS Plant 

Custom flags can be produced in various ways including printed, appliqué, and embroidered – all of which we can produce in-house at ATLAS. But in this article, we’ll dive deep into all the benefits of using our premium knit poly for your custom-printed flags. 

 

The Importance of Custom Flags

Custom flags serve a multitude of purposes and hold significant importance across various contexts.

Here’s a breakdown of their importance and uses:

Brand Promotion and Marketing

Custom flags are powerful tools for brand promotion and marketing, providing an eye-catching way to display a company’s logo or message. Whether used at events, trade shows, or outside business premises, custom flags help businesses attract attention and create brand awareness.

Identification and Signage

Custom flags are often used for identification purposes, helping to mark specific locations, events, or businesses. They help guide people to desired destinations such as retail stores, event venues, or public facilities. 

Celebration and Commemoration

Custom flags are often utilized to celebrate special events, holidays, or milestones. They serve as symbols of pride, unity, and community spirit, representing shared values, traditions, and achievements. Custom flags are commonly seen at parades, festivals, sporting events, and patriotic ceremonies, where they evoke feelings of patriotism, solidarity, and celebration.

Expression and Representation

Custom flags provide a platform for individuals, groups, or communities to express themselves and convey messages, beliefs, or causes. They serve as vehicles for cultural expression, political statements, social movements, and personal expression.

Their Role in Society

Overall, custom flags play a versatile and impactful role in society, serving as powerful tools for branding, identification, celebration, and expression. They are an excellent way for businesses, events, organizations, groups, and individuals to increase visibility and create impact in a crowded world. 

Not to mention, custom flags aren’t going anywhere! Despite the immense evolution of marketing over the years, custom flags are a unique marketing tool that have stood the test of time! They’re here to stay, and we’re excited to offer two options for custom flags of any size, with any design. 

Atlas Custom Flags

At Atlas Flags, we are proud to offer Single Reverse and Double Sided with liner printed flags. 

Atlas Custom Printed Flags are 100% Made in the USA – in our Tucker, Georgia plant – using our premium Atlas Knit Poly material. This is a high-quality, durable material designed to withstand the elements, making our custom printed flags suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Our flags are printed with vibrant, fade-resistant colors.

Our double-sided flags are made using a special liner that ensures the image is clear and crisp on both sides. The double-sided design allows the flag to be displayed on a flagpole with the image facing forward on both sides. Our flags are easy to care for and can be spot cleaned, machine washed and hung to dry, ensuring they remain in excellent condition even with frequent use. 
 
But you might be asking yourself, if everyone else is using Nylon for custom flags, why is Atlas Flags using knit-poly?
 

Why You’ll Love Our Knit Poly Custom Flags

 
Nylon is widely used in the U.S., while knit poly (also known as polyknit, knitted polyester, knit polyester, duraknit, and more) is more common in Europe and other parts of the world. Although nylon and knit poly are fairly comparable, our process sets us apart.
 
Penetration printing for flag use is a complex process. The ink must penetrate the fabric to appear on the back side and withstand outdoor elements.
 
Traditional nylon and polyester dyeing methods require multiple steps of steaming and washing that take several days to complete. This process often results in flags with fuzzy edges, inconsistent colors, and variable reverse-side penetration. Additionally, colors may not adhere well to the fibers, leading to quick fading and sometimes even running. These issues stem from the many variables involved in the traditional process.
 
Atlas has developed a proprietary system that ensures crisp lines, vibrant and consistent colors over a broad spectrum, and excellent penetration on durable knit polyester. Our system has proven in lab tests and customer feedback to outlast nylon in terms of color fastness and durability under the same weather conditions. 
 
The best part? Our system can produce and complete flags in just hours, compared to the days required by traditional methods.
 
Our print system, combined with our team of seasoned sewers, allows us to be extremely nimble, meeting your customers’ crucial in-hand dates. In the custom flag business, this can make the difference between getting the job or not.
 
Here’s a breakdown of the 8 reasons why we love using our Atlas Premium Knit Poly material to print custom flags in our Georgia plant, and why we’re certain you’ll love it too!
 

Quicker Turn-Around Times

Atlas Premium Knit Poly allows for faster production than traditional nylon, streamlining our flag-making process and meeting tight deadlines with ease.

Better Color Fastness

With enhanced color retention capabilities, our flags maintain their vibrant hues over time, resisting fading even when exposed to harsh sunlight or adverse weather conditions.
 
 
 

 

Improved Single Reverse Penetration

The specialized composition of Atlas Premium Knit Poly ensures deeper ink penetration into the fabric, resulting in clearer and more defined imagery on both sides of the flag. Atlas Premium Knit can achieve near 100% pass through.

Darker Blacks & Truer Whites

Atlas Premium Knit Poly provides a pristine canvas for printing, ensuring that whites appear crisp and pure, contributing to the overall clarity and brilliance of the flag. We also achieve a richer and deeper black tone, enhancing overall visual impact.

More Vibrant Color Gamut

By utilizing Atlas Premium Knit Poly, we expand our color spectrum, allowing for the reproduction of a wider range of colors with heightened intensity and accuracy.

More Image Clarity (Hi Res)

Thanks to its advanced texture and printability, Atlas Premium Knit Poly minimizes blurriness in images and text, resulting in sharp and precise detailing for a professional finish. The fabric’s reduced wicking properties prevent ink from spreading or bleeding. Sharp edges and fine lines in the printed design add exceptional clarity and precision.

Printing

Fly Better

Atlas Premium Knit Poly, engineered for durability, challenges the traditional notion that heavier is better. Unlike woven nylon, its knit construction prevents debris entrapment, ensuring longevity by resisting unraveling even with prolonged outdoor exposure and frequent handling. The lighter nature of Knit Polyester results in a better flying flag.

Supporting US Manufacturing

When you work with Atlas Flags, you know that all your products are 100% Made in the USA. We will not send you options for Chinese vs. American products. Everything we offer is made in-house, in our Tucker, Georgia plant. Supporting American-made products not only helps to create and maintain jobs in the United States but also has several other benefits.

Boosting Domestic Employment

Buying American-made products supports domestic industries and businesses, which in turn helps to create and sustain jobs in our own country. This not only benefits the individuals who are employed, but it also has a ripple effect on the economy as a whole. When people have steady jobs and income, they can spend more money on goods and services, which helps to stimulate economic growth.

Strengthening the Manufacturing Sector

In addition to supporting job creation, buying American-made products also helps to boost our country’s manufacturing sector. A strong manufacturing base is vital for a healthy economy, as it provides a foundation for innovation and technological advancement. When we support American manufacturing, we are investing in the future growth and competitiveness of our country.

Ensuring Quality and Craftsmanship

Another benefit of buying American-made products is that they often come with a higher level of quality and craftsmanship. Many American manufacturers take pride in their work and strive to produce top-quality products that stand the test of time. This could not be more true of Atlas Flags – our goal is to raise the bar when it comes to the products and services that we offer. We strive to showcase the unrivaled quality and value of US manufacturing by utilizing the creative minds of our people in our plant in Tucker, Georgia. We aspire to set the standard by which all others are judged.

Reducing Environmental Impact

In addition to the benefits of supporting job creation and investing in American manufacturing, buying American-made products also helps to reduce our carbon footprint. When we buy products that are made locally, they do not have to be shipped long distances, which reduces the number of fossil fuels that are consumed in the transportation process. This is good for the environment and helps to reduce our reliance on foreign sources of energy.
