Choosing the Right Size

The 90 × 150 cm version is the most versatile choice for a home, garden or standard flagpole. The two smaller sizes work well where space is limited, while the 120 × 180 cm and 150 × 250 cm flags provide greater visibility at events, commercial venues and outdoor celebrations.

Single Sided Printing

The design is printed on one side of the fabric and remains approximately 90% visible from the reverse. Because the colour passes through the material, the design and coat of arms appear mirrored when viewed from the back.
