Description
Zimbabwe flag
The flag of Zimbabwe was adopted in 1980. It has seven horizontal stripes of green, gold, red, black, red, gold and green. On the left side of the flag is a white triangle, with a red five-pointed star. A gold Great Zimbabwe Bird, the national symbol of Zimbabwe, sits on top of the star.
The flag is made of five colours. The green represents the agricultural areas of the country. The gold symbolises Zimbabwe’s wealth of minerals. The red signifies the blood shed during the country’s struggle for independence. The black reflects the heritage and ethnicity of the country’s black majority.
The white triangle symbolises peace. The red star stands for the nation’s aspirations.
Your print options
Digital printing – For the budget conscious we offer a standard digital print option. Printed onto 115gsm quality knitted polyester these flags still have the same print quality as our other printed flags.
Handsewn – For an added touch of quality our handsewn flags are meticulously appliqued using 155gsm woven polyester by our UK based team of seamstresses. A handsewn flag is an investment so we would recommend adding anti-fray to help prolong the life of your flag.
Eco-friendly flag – For the more environmentally conscious customer we offer an alternative to the digitally printed standard knitted polyester which is made from recycled plastic items. It has the same durability, strength and versatility of its knitted polyester equivalent but with a much lower environmental impact.
Anti-fray provides extra protection to the hem to prevent fraying and prolong the life of your flag.
What size flag should I purchase?
We’d recommend opting for a 2 yard flag if your flagpole is 6 metres tall or a 2.5 yard flag if it is 8 metres or taller. Flags are finished with a rope and toggle so are ready to fly as soon as you receive them.
Fabric choice
Knitted polyester – This is the most common flag fabric. Your flag will be digitally printed onto 115gsm quality knitted polyester.
Handsewn – Giving an extra touch of quality to your flagpole our handsewn flags are meticulously appliqued using 155gsm woven polyester by our team of seamstresses based in the UK. A handsewn flag is an investment so we would recommend adding anti-fray to help prolong the life of your flag. It provides extra protection to the hem to prevent fraying.
Eco-friendly option
Eco-friendly flag – This revolutionary fabric is made from recycled plastic items such as PET bottles and industrial polyester waste which has been melted down into chips, then spun into yarn that is knitted to form a material. It has the same durability, strength and versatility of its knitted polyester equivalent but with a much lower environmental impact. We are the first UK supplier to offer an eco-friendly option rather than the standard polyester flags made from virgin plastic.
Anti-fray
An anti-fray netting can be added to your knitted polyester or handsewn flag to help prolong the life of your flag. It provides extra protection to the hem to prevent fraying. A handsewn flag is an investment so we would recommend adding anti-fray.
