Upcycling flags
Some materials are too good to throw away. Take flags, for example. Designed to withstand all weather conditions, strong in quality and often beautiful in colour. That is why we give used flags a second life. As a new bag or laptop sleeve, they can last for many more years.
From flag to bag or laptop sleeve
Flags are highly suitable for upcycling into a bag or, for example, a laptop sleeve. We hear you thinking: isn’t the material of a flag too thin to protect a laptop? True, which is why we use an extra layer of material for some products. Combined with a protective foam layer and a soft lining fabric, this creates the perfect laptop sleeve.
Materials suitable for upcycling include flags, beach flags, banners, advertising banners, press walls, promotional fabrics, facade banners, construction fence banners, event banners, exhibition walls, festival towers and promotional banners.
Unique products with your logo
A bag or laptop sleeve made from used flags can be personalised in several ways with your company logo. This gives your own flag not only a second life, but also a representative new purpose. Depending on your preference and the look of your brand, we offer different options. Do you have something else in mind? We are happy to discuss the possibilities and think along with you.
Embroidered fabric label – subtle and stylish
This option is perfect for those who prefer subtle branding. The fabric label with your logo is attached to the side of the product. Its placement and size create an elegant and refined appearance. Perfect for a minimalist look with a professional touch.
Rubber patch – bold and powerful
Would you like your logo to stand out more prominently? Then a rubber patch is an excellent choice. This form of personalisation gives the product stronger brand recognition without compromising on design. This patch is especially suitable for personalising the laptop sleeve.
Handmade in the Netherlands, with attention to detail
We upcycle your old flags in the Netherlands and do so entirely by hand. We work with a small and dedicated team and design every product with attention to detail. This makes us flexible and allows us to move quickly. We often deliver both small and large quantities within a short time.
Every bag, laptop sleeve or custom-made product is carefully crafted from your own flag material. This gives the flag not only a second life, but also a new purpose that will last for years to come.
Give your flags a second life
Would you like to give your old flags a new life? We would be happy to think with you about how we can transform this material into unique circular products such as laptop sleeves and bags. Feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities.
