About The Union Flag Company

The Union Flag Company is a British flag maker specialising in high-quality flags, flagpoles, banners and bunting for homes, businesses and organisations across the UK.

We combine traditional manufacturing methods with modern printing and finishing techniques to produce flags that look smart, fly well and stand up to real-world British weather. Whether you need a Union Jack for your home, a county flag for your village green or a full ceremonial set for official events, we build products to be used, not just photographed.

Who we are

The Union Flag Company is a UK-based business that is proud to keep flag making close to home. We work with experienced British manufacturers and specialist printers to deliver consistent quality, reliable lead times and genuine accountability.

We sell directly to:

• Homeowners and enthusiasts
• Event organisers and venues
• Councils, schools and churches
• Veterans' groups and military organisations
• Businesses, retailers and trade customers

If you need a flag, there is a good chance we either have it - or can make it.

What we do

We focus on doing a few things properly:

• National and regional flags - Union Jacks, national flags, county and regional designs in a range of sizes and finishes.
• Flagpoles - Aluminium and glass-fibre flagpoles, wall-mounted and ground-mounted options, plus hardware and accessories.
• Ceremonial flags and sets - Church, regimental, parade and presentation flags with suitable poles, bases and carrying gear.
• Custom printed flags and banners - Your logo, crest or message, printed on suitable textiles for indoor or outdoor use.
• Bunting and event dressing - Fabric and lightweight options to dress streets, venues and events quickly and effectively.

Every product is specified with practical use in mind: correct ratios, clear artwork, sensible finishing options and honest guidance on which textile is right for the job.

Our approach to quality

Flags are often bought for important moments - commemorations, civic events, parades, national days, openings and celebrations. Our view is simple: if you are taking the time to fly a flag, it should look right.

That means:

• Using the correct designs and colour references wherever possible
• Offering durable woven and knitted polyester options where they make sense
• Providing appropriate finishes such as rope and toggle, eyelets, anti-fray netting and reinforced headings
• Being clear about how long different materials can realistically be expected to last in normal UK conditions

We will not oversell a product just to win an order. If a cheaper option is likely to fail quickly for your use case, we will say so.

Made for real customers, not just a catalogue

A lot of flag retailers operate as anonymous catalogues. We do not.

If you contact us, you are dealing with a real person who understands the products, not a generic call centre. We regularly help customers with:

• Choosing the right flag size for their pole or building
• Selecting the best textile for exposed coastal locations or high-use ceremonial work
• Preparing artwork for custom designs and checking it will reproduce clearly at scale
• Working out practical lead times for events, unveilings and official dates

We would rather ask a few questions up front than sell you the wrong thing.

Sustainability and packaging

Where we can, we aim to:

• Use recyclable packaging materials
• Avoid unnecessary plastic
• Specify durable products that do not need constant replacement

Flags are, by nature, a textile product that we expect to be used, flown and worn over time. Our job is to ensure what we supply is robust enough to earn its keep for as long as possible.

Who we supply

Our flags, flagpoles and accessories are used by:

• Local authorities and parish councils
• Schools, colleges and universities
• Military and veterans' organisations
• Businesses, construction sites and industrial premises
• Churches and community groups
• Individuals who simply want a good flag on a proper pole

From a single house flag to a full civic installation, we treat every order with the same level of detail.

Based in and serving the UK

We currently supply customers across the United Kingdom only. That allows us to keep control over quality, shipping, returns and ongoing support. If something is not right, we are here to put it straight.

If you are planning a project and are not sure where to start, get in touch. Tell us what you are trying to achieve - a permanent pole, a temporary event, a ceremonial standard or a one-off celebration - and we will recommend a practical solution, not just the most expensive one.
