Bunting Flags in Dubai: Measured in Metres, Not Pieces
Nobody orders a number of bunting flags. They order a length. Bunting flags in Dubai are specified by how far the run has to stretch and how much drop you want in the middle, and getting that length right is the difference between the reference photo and a disappointing straight line.

Six steps happen between the brief and the finished job. Here they are, in the order they happen on our floor in Dubai South.
Length Beats the Gap It Crosses
Bunting always has to be longer than the distance between its two fixings. Pulled tight it looks severe and stops moving. A quarter again on top of the measured gap gives the familiar sag.
Flags Are Sewn Into a Tape
Each piece folds over a continuous binding tape and is stitched along it in one pass. The tape carries all the tension, so the flags themselves are never pulling against anything.
Spacing Is Set Before Sewing
Gaps between flags are fixed along the run. Even spacing reads as a pattern from a distance, and uneven spacing reads as a mistake even to someone not looking closely.
Sequence Makes It Look Intentional
A repeating order of two or three designs looks planned. Random variety looks like leftovers. We set the repeat and keep it consistent across every string in the order.
It Rolls, It Does Not Bundle
Finished runs are rolled onto a card with both ends marked. Bundled bunting arrives as a knot and takes longer to untangle than to hang.
Reusable for Years
Taken down carefully and rolled the same way, a run of bunting survives many seasons, which is why schools and compounds tend to buy good quality once. For a permanent position, ask for the heavier outdoor cloth. Lightweight bunting is made for a weekend, and a season of sun and dust leaves it looking tired well before it fails. Fixing points are worth confirming before the run is made. Bunting needs something solid at both ends, and on a forecourt with no obvious anchor the usual answer is a pair of weighted poles, which is a second order nobody budgeted for.
The mistake we see most often: somebody measures the gap, orders exactly that, and ends up with bunting stretched flat. Measure the gap, then add a quarter, and the result looks like what you had in mind.

Setting up your file.
- 01Work at full size or to scaleBuild the file at full size, or at a stated scale such as 1:10 when the canvas gets too big, and tell us the scale.
- 02Match resolution to distanceSomething read from a few metres away needs far less resolution than a business card. Around 100 dpi at full size is usually plenty.
- 03Tell us how it will be fixedHems, eyelets, pole pockets and frames take up material around the edge. Tell us the fixing and prepress allows for it.
