Mirror image to the reverse, what does it mean?

Just a quick blog post to clear up any confusion over what "mirror image to the reverse" means. You'll normally hear this term used when asking about printed flags or printed bunting. It simply means your design will show correctly to one side, but on the other side it will show as if it mirrored or flipped horizontally.  The reason for this is because of the nature of the material it is being printed on. Standard polyester material is quite thin so the design printed on one side is shown through the material. This is why we can't print double sided polyester bunting. If double sided bunting is what you need then materials like PVC and Synthetic have many of the outdoorsy properties of polyester so make very good substitutes.

Synthetic Bunting in more detail

You may hear the name Synthetic printed Bunting thrown around a lot in the Bunting world, but what exactly is it? The best way to describe it would be, a waterproof, tear proof, weatherproof paper, but it isn't paper. Similar in weight and appearance to paper but much superior in durability, which is why we are keen to distance it from paper.
Being waterproof and tear proof means Synthetic Bunting is weatherproof and can withstand the rigours of the British climate.Wind, rain, snow or if we're lucky sunshine, is no problem for Synthetic bunting. A cost effective solution for outdoor display with no real colour deterioration, it can be displayed constantly for months and months!

Nursery Bunting

Not just limited to Nursery bunting in it's use, cotton bunting can also be used as decoration around the home, shop, wedding or even outdoors at a garden party.

The three main things to consider when choosing a material for your bunting are:

• Budget

Bunting

Those individuals that have ever been to a festive event, or a vintage event, will be able to tell you that they have seen bunting. They might not have realized it but they most likely did.

What you should know about custom bunting is that is can often be used to show amazing patriotism. The Union Jack is the design of the United Kingdom flag and it dates back to the early 1800’s. You will find that bunting has been used with the union jack and hung in order to decorate for different events such as sports, community events and even different military celebrations that have taken place over the years.
