The combination of
modern materials and traditional methods ensures unsurpassed colour fastness
and length of life.
We are able to supply flags of any nation, mostly from our extensive
stock. National flags vary in shape and proportion. The normal practice
when flags are flown together is for them to be made to suit the flag of
the host country. Thus in Britain we supply flags to match the Union Jack
(2:1 proportion) unless requested otherwise. If you are purchasing flags
for use overseas you may consider changing the proportions of your flags
to match those of the host nation as a sign of courtesy.
We are able to supply flags to all shapes and sizes. Prices will reflect
the amount of material used and the complexity of the design.
Flags for Hire
We can supply a range of National flags for hire on a weekly basis. The
main stock is held in 2 yd size with a few available in 2½ and 3 yard
sizes.

National
& International Flags
National and International flags are normally manufactured in woven polyester
as tested and recommended by the British Admiralty.
The price of each flag is governed by its simplicity or its complexity
and therefore graded into categories.
For prices of individual national flags please choose the country(s).
On occasions due to quantity manufacture (popularity) dyeprinted versions
are available.

Sizing
of Flags
When the flag is to be flown on top of the building the safest way to estimate
its size is to draw a scale diagram to show the height of the building and
the size of the flagstaff. It is then a simple matter to draw a suitably
sized flag. Don't forget to take account of any supporting stays or struts
which could foul the flag when it is limp against the flagstaff.
When a flag is to fly from a flagstaff set in the ground it is suggested
that one yard of flag should be allowed for each 10' of staff. A 25' staff
would therefore need a 2.5 yard flag and a 40' staff, a 4 yard flag.
Flag Protocol
Where there are two or more flagpoles next to one another the home national
flag should be flown from the flagpole on the left when facing a building.
In the event of one flagpole being taller than the others, the home national
flag should be flown from the tallest.
Subject to the above, we suggest all other national flags should be
placed from the left in alphabetical order.
