Flag of Aland Islands

Flag of Aland Islands

The flag is manufactured by waterproof digital printing on polyester designed specifically for the flag industry. Digitally printed flags are made using a 4-color process printing machine that refines the CMYK color model with a more specific code known as Pantone Matching System (PMS). We use the solid-coated version of the PMS colors in our manufacturing process to receive the exact colors according to international standards for every national flag. Our printing process is with photo quality sharp colors and durability in weather conditions. You can even machine wash your flag to keep it clean and fresh. The flag is ideal for use on standard flag poles or held by hand. Our production with wide format printers can print on rolls as wide as 10,5 feet in width. If you need a huge size of even 10 feet in height X 15 feet in length, the same can be seamlessly manufactured.

The flag of Aland Islands is with a photo-quality dye-sublimation digital print and then precisely handcrafted by experienced seamstresses with a double-stitch finish ensuring that through wind and rain will stand out from the crowd. The flag provides a rich and lustrous appearance and has superb wearing strength due to the material’s superior strength-to-weight ratio. It is sturdy to handle all weather conditions and light enough to fly in gentle breezes and gales. You will see the amazing workmanship that has gone into this flag.

The flag is made of 117gr/m2 polyester, a material specially designed to resist wind resistance as little as possible. On average, the lifespan of a flag exposed outside is 6-9 months, but we have clients who change them for even longer periods. We must also take into account the area where they are exposed, the weather and pollution conditions (strong wind, area with a high degree of pollution, frost/thaw, etc.).

It is recommended to lower the flags from the masts when extreme weather conditions are announced: strong wind, storm, hail, etc., precisely to extend their shelflife. 

That flag has the following characteristics:

- it is made of polyester, 100%, with a weight of 117 gr/m2;

- it has good resistance in any atmospheric conditions and is UV stable and antistatic;

- has low opacity but is resistant to peeling and wrinkling;

- the material is treated fireproof class B;

-tension at wind gusts 1042 kN/m2;

- air permeability 950 l/min;

- fiber tension: in length approx. 400N; in width approx. 700N;

- heat deformation (195 degrees C): in length max 2%; in width max 2%;

- the ink used is sublimation printing ink fixed on the textile material in a special oven at 160 degrees Celsius, ecological.

It is great for gifts, commercial or personal use. A perfect decoration for desks, parades, patios, and national-themed parties. Improving the looks of your home or room and showing your pride with a new flag with bright colors. The flag is ideal for attaching to the top of the flagpole, either for hanging on the balcony, as a garden decoration outdoors, or as an outdoor game for children.

The flag of Åland (Swedish: Ålands flagga) is a yellow or gold Nordic cross with another red cross inside on a blue background with the vertical bar shifted towards the hoist side. It is intended to resemble the Swedish flag defaced by a red cross symbolizing Finland. The flag was officially adopted as the flag of Åland in 1954 and first hoisted in Mariehamn on 3 April 1954. Prior to autonomy, an unofficial horizontal bicolour triband of blue-yellow-blue was in use until it was made illegal in 1935.
