Moldova Flag

Introduced in 1990 after Moldova left the Soviet Union and turned towards its Western neighbor Romania. This explains why Moldova and Romania share the same blue, yellow and red tricolor, but Moldova has a shield of a golden eagle in its center

Product Description

We manufacture and supply the Moldova flag ready to fly on the top a flagpole in either hand sewn or digitally printed options.

We highly recommend hand sewn national flags as the preferred choice for your flag. Manufactured using Ministry of Defence approved 155gsm woven flag material, this fabric offers the best possible durability and has been used by the Navy and other military branches for many years.

Hand sewn Moldova national flags are made to MoD & Flag Institute standard patterns by cutting panels of the required colours from a roll of fabric, before being sewn together by our skilled flagmakers to create the official Anguilla pattern. National flag designs with complex details will have a printed panel or badge added to the main field of the flag.

Dye-sublimated Moldova national flags are created using our state-of-the-art textile print systems and woven polyester flag fabric in our UK manufacturing facility. Chosen for strength and durability, knitted polyester is an ideal choice for anybody looking for a good value national flag finished ready to fly from your flagpole.

The Moldova national flag is finished by hand with a headband rope and toggle as standard, ready to attach directly to a flagpole. The three exposed sides of the flag are finished with a strong double hem and a triple sewn hem on the fly edge for extra durability.

Other finishes are available, please be sure to select the correct option for you or contact a member of our team for support.

Please note - for all handsewn Moldova flags 1.5 yards and smaller it is necessary to include printed elements to ensure we are able to achieve the correct design. If you have any queries about this, please contact our team.

All of our printed Moldova flags are made by a process called Dye Sublimation. This process impregnates the fibres of the fabric, the result is a flag that has very accurate colour, and importantly the design appears clearly on both sides of the flag. This is known as ‘printed through to reverse’ and is an important consideration when choosing your flag as both sides will be seen when flying.

From the 14th Century till 1856 the area was a Danubian Principality called Moldavia. The Flag at the time was a plain red field with a golden bull in the centre featuring a five pointed star above its head, a flower to the left and a crescent moon facing right on the right hand side.

Moldavia became a Democratic Republic for a short time from 1917 to 1918, its flag was a blue-yellow-red horizontal tricolour with the Coat of Arms in the centre.
