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.

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

Dye-sublimated Belgium 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.

Other finishes are available, please be sure to select the correct option for you or contact a member of our team for support.
