Belgium
The national flag of Belgium is a tricolour flag that features equal horizon blocks of black, yellow and red. These colours were taken from the traditional Duchy of Brabant coat of arms, which featured a golden lion with red paws on a black background. The flag was introduced in 1830, and has stood proud as a symbol of Belgium nationalism ever since.

Product Description
The Belgium flag can be digitally printed or hand embroidered, ready for mounting on a flagpole.
Our recommendation for your flag is hand sewn national flags. Using 155gsm woven flag material that has been approved by the Ministry of Defence, these flags offer the best durability and have been used by the Navy and other military branches for years.
To create the official Belgium pattern, our skilled flagmakers cut panels of the required colours from a roll of fabric, and then sew them together to create hand-sewn Belgium national flags. For national flag designs with complex details, a printed panel or badge is added to the main field.
