Crisp graphics on woven sailcloth.
Very thin printed insignia cloth with light block — easy for the loft to mount and suitable for full-colour images, logos and numbers.
Designed to look integrated.
The material is thin and flexible, so it follows the sail rather than sitting on it like a heavy patch. An opaque backing prevents the image from showing through when marks are mounted back to back.
- Light-block backing
- Very thin and light insignia cloth
- Any full-colour image
- Simple application
- Available up to one metre wide
Straight answers.
The same questions come up on every project. Full versions of these, and more, are on the answers page.
What can be printed on a Dacron sail?
Sail numbers, class insignia, national marks, sponsor logos and full-colour artwork on woven polyester cloth.
Full answer →Does heavier cloth change anything?
Yes. Woven Dacron is opaque, so a graphic that must read from both sides has to be printed on both sides, in register. Thin cloth is the easy case; thick cloth is the interesting one.
Full answer →How long does it last?
Durability is a specification, not a constant. What wears sail graphics is handling, UV and packing rather than wind — and in practice the cloth usually tires before the print fades.
Full answer →What artwork do you need?
Vector artwork — PDF, AI, EPS or SVG, with fonts converted to outlines. For the first conversation a rough visual is enough.
