At the recent Vertu Trophy Final between Birmingham City FC and Peterborough United, UFabrik’s flag material was used by Birmingham fans to display the club’s crest.
The flag, measuring at 35 x 37m, was produced by Hollywood Monster, signage and branding supplier to Birmingham City FC. The UFabrik flag textile was printed using an EFI Vutek Q5r UV LED 5m printer.
Simon McKenzie, CEO of Hollywood Monster, commented: “What began with producing traditional wooden pitch side signs has evolved into creating cutting-edge digital signage and massive fabric installations that showcase the technological journey that both our companies have been on. These massive fan flags convey the strength of the supporters’ love and loyalty towards their team.”
The UFabrik flag material is compatible with dye sublimation direct, paper transfer, and UV. It offers the lightweight handling characteristics needed for crowd-surfing displays, and its vibrant colour reproduction is ideal for creating visual impact on TV, social media, and with fans in the stadium, stated UFabrik.
“UFabrik flag textile is an extremely versatile media, which can be used across dye sublimation and UV print technologies,” stated Damien Clarke, sales director of UFabrik. “Hollywood Monster is the first print company to run it through a UV printer, and the results have been stunning.”
