Netherlands

The Netherlands flag is one of the oldest flags in the world, dating back to the 13th century. During the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648), Dutch patriots used this flag to symbolise their struggle for independence from Spain. The current design of the Netherlands flag was adopted in 1937, and it consists of three colours: orange, white, and blue. This flag is often referred to as the "Prince's Flag" or the "Orange-White-Blue."

Product Description

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

Hand-sewn Netherlands 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 Netherlands pattern. National flag designs with complex details will have a printed panel or badge added to the main field of the flag.

Dye-sublimated Netherlands 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 and ready to fly from your flagpole.

The Netherlands 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.
