Product Description

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

Dye-sublimated Romania 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 Romania 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

The first modern tricolour was used as the “Justice, Fraternity” flag of the Wallachian revolutionaries in 1848. When Wallachia finally joined with Moldiavia to become the United Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia in 1859 the flag was the Romanian horizontal Tricolour.

From 1881 to 1947 the Kingdom of Romania was created under the constitutional monarchy of Carlo I of Romania and ended in 1947 with the abdication of Michael I of Romania. The Flag during this time was a blue-yellow-red vertical tricolour.

In 1948 the Monarchy was replaced with Romanian Communist Party and the Kingdom of Romania became communist People’s Republic and eventually named the Socialist Republic of Romania in 1965. All previous state flags were banned.

The new flag was similar to the vertical blue-yellow-red tri-colour with the Arms of the Socialist Republic of Romania in the centre.
