What is 24/7 Performance Testing?
Every Flagaholic product is built to survive the real world, not just the showroom. As part of our 24/7 outdoor colour and performance testing programme, we install representative flags, banners and displays in continuous outdoor conditions and photograph the same test units at regular intervals.
The result is an honest, unedited record of how our printing, fabrics and finishing hold up to sun, wind, rain and time. We have run the programme in two cycles: Cycle 1 (2016–2018) and Cycle 2 (2021–end of 2022). The programme has not continued since the end of 2022, when the original test poles were moved on to other use.
Look closely and you will spot the same hardware throughout — the original test poles and spike bases are still in active service today. The timeline below runs from the oldest test photo to the newest, so you can watch the colours and materials age month by month.
