Description
Botswana flag
The Botswana flag was adopted in 1966 following the country’s independence from Britain. The flag has a light blue background with a black horizontal stripe, outlined in white.
The blue represents rain water. Due to the agricultural background of country, the people of Botswana are reliant on rain water. This is a precious resource given the climate of the Kalahari Desert. The motto on the coat of arms even translates to ‘let there be rain’.
The black horizontal stripe with the white outline represents harmony between people of different skin colours in the country. They are also thought to symbolise the national animal of Botswana: the zebra.
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.

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.
