Product Description

We manufacture and supply the Togo Flag 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 Togo Flag 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 Togo Flag pattern. National flag designs with complex details will have a printed panel or badge added to the main field of the flag.

Dye-sublimated Togo Flag 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 Togo Flag 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.

Brief History

In 1884 Germany became a Protectorate of the area that was to become Togo. The German black-white-red horizontal tricolour, with coat of arms at the centre, flag was flow until 1914 when the British and French forced Germany out of the region.

In 1916 Britain and the French occupied Togoland and split it up into administrative zones in 1922. The flag in British Togoland was the Blue British Ensign with the emblem of the Gold Coast at the centre right.

The Flag that was flown in French Togoland was the French blue-white-red vertical tricolour. In 1956 French Togoland became an autonomous republic and a new flag was adopted. The flag was a plain green field with two five-pointed white stars, one top right and one bottom left, and the French tricolour in the top left. The stars represent British and French Togoland.

When the area became closer to independence in 1958 the French tricolour was removed from the flag. The ratio was 3:5.

In 1960 Togo gained full independence from Britain and France and a new flag was adopted. The new flag featured five yellow and green stripes with a red square and white five-pointed star in the top left corner. Taking the colours of the Pan African movement, the red symbolises the bloodshed in the fight for independence, the green represents the agriculture, the yellow the riches of the land and the white star represents hope.
