Moldova
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.

Brief History
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.
