Mexico Flag

Designed in 1821 and introduced 1968, the flag of Mexico depicts a green, white and red tricolour with a central coat of arms depicting ancient Aztec symbols of an eagle, a cactus and a serpent. This design was implemented as the national flag of Mexico after the nation claimed their independence from Spain, and has been a symbol of the Mexican national identity since.

Product Description

The Mexican 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 Mexico pattern, our skilled flagmakers cut panels of the required colours from a roll of fabric, and then sew them together to create hand-sewn Mexico national flags. For national flag designs with complex details, a printed panel or badge is added to the main field.

Hand sewn Mexican 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 Mexico pattern.

Dye-sublimated Mexico 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 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.

Mexico Flag Design

In the Mexican flag design, the nation’s traditional colours of green, white and red are used in three horizontal blocks. Green is placed on the left, red on the right and white in the middle. In the centre of the flag, the traditional Mexican coat of arms is used. This depicts an Eagle sitting on a cactus, which is a gesture to a traditional Mexican legend that recalls how the Aztecs found the ancient city of Tenochtitlan.
