FA Cup Final banners

Piggotts branding – a leading manufacturer of flags and banners established in 1780 – is at the forefront of digital printing and sustainable products.

One of the latest remits for the Essex-based company was to manufacture huge pitch banners for the recent F.A. Cup Final at the new Wembley Stadium.

The footballing showpiece – which saw Chelsea defeat Manchester United 1-0 after extra-time to lift the famous old trophy – returned to Wembley after a seven year absence.

Watched by a capacity crowd of almost 90,000 at the new stadium and a television audience of 450 million worldwide, the fans and players alike were treated to a wonderful spectacle of noise and colour.

Piggotts client event360, who were solely responsible for the production and implementation of the match entertainment and opening ceremony, required 15 metre by 15 metre pitch banners representing the competing teams as part of the ceremonies.

“As ever, our brief was to make this year’s final the biggest and best ever!

“The plan included giant club banners and we chose Piggotts branding for their experience with large format banners, as well as their ability to deliver high-quality products on time.”

The banners were digitally printed, using a direct to textile dye sublimation printing process, onto B1/M1 rated fire retardant 120gsm lightweight 100% knitted polyester. Finished with reinforced webbing and coloured perimeter grab handles allowed for easy access into the ground and to be unfurled correctly.

Piggotts branding Business Development Manager, Rory Blackwood said: “At Piggotts we have provided a tailor-made service for manufacturing sports banners and flags for more than 200 years.

“On this occasion, it was a case of one of the oldest private UK companies, supplying brand new innovative products from our new Piggotts branding Division, for one of the world’s oldest football competitions, at the country’s newest stadium!”

Rory continued: “We can manufacture a variety of different supporter items including, crowd banners, surf banners, hand held flags, national flags, supporter flags, club flags and huge replica shirts. Each one is created to specific requirements and digitally printed onto the desired material.

“All of our sports banners and supporter products are made from eco-friendly materials, which we are able to take back for recycling at the end of their useful life.”
