Ceremonial Flag plus another flag

First time I have ordered from this company and I will use them again. Two great, high quality flags and great customer service. I had a couple of queries that were answered & resolved very quickly.

Amazing customer service

Amazing customer service, and a fantastic product which was exactly as I expected and hoped for. If I ever need another flag, I will definitely be ordering from here again. (Though as I’m 51 and this is the first flag I’ve ever bought…..). Thanks Mark!

Got My Flying Colours Just Right!

Mark and the team at Flying Colours jumped on my order for two slightly off-piste flags that i needed to adorn a memorial we have created for British solidiers lost in the Bosnian War - i hadnt left them with a long lead time and made the order as tricky as i could (!) and they have delivered everything ahead of time, exactly as required. Timing was important as i will be taking these two flags out to Bosnia in two days to replace the ones there currently. Very grateful, fabulous service, thank you! Nick

Great Quality and Service

I have made a couple of purchases over the past while. I have never been disappointed.

The quality is outstanding and the attention to detail is exceptional. The printing colours are vibrant and sharp and the appliqué technique is of the highest quality.

If you are looking for a high quality flag you will not be disappointed.

Bespoke Flag

I have previously ordered 'off the shelf' flags from Flying Colours and found the quality of both materials and workmanship to be excellent. On this occasion I ordered two bespoke flags, one printed and one sewn and as a great believer of you get what you pay for I found both these flags to be excellent, again in both material and workmanship. While dealing with producing the bespoke design they showed great patience and willing to get the design perfect. All in all a quality experience.

Disappointing...

This was a Disappointing experience!
(I have edited for clarity after the response from the company)

The website offers 10% discount on orders over £150. I spent £159.59 on two flags and it refused to give me the discount. Only the 5% worked so I used this.

The flags themselves are very disappointing. They seem to be well made but use a thin, see through synthetic material, and should not be flown in wind, rain, snow or at night.

The Label says:
"Do not fly in winds above Beaufort 6 (25mph+), heavy rain or snow."
"Flags flown in daylight hours last approximately 4 times longer than a flag flown 24 hours a day"

I would have spent more on two flagpoles but when I phoned the company (to ask what "Anti fray netting" was, and to check what flag fitting I should get, and to ask about the flagpoles) I was told the flag poles do not qualify for any discount, and if I applied the discount to flagpoles, I would be contacted to pay the difference.

Hi Edward,

Thank you for your feedback.

It appears the discount code you used (AUG5) was for a 5% discount. Our website offered a 10% discount on orders over £150 if you used code AUG10.

When were you informed that the flagpoles did not qualify? All products on our website qualified for the discount during the promotional period if ordered online.

This promotion ended on 31st Aug.


Regarding the flags, I’d like to clarify that all our flags are made from industry-standard, MoD-approved flag fabric, designed to withstand various outdoor conditions. While the material is indeed lightweight, it is chosen for its durability and weather-resistant qualities.

We do not advise they "should not be flown in wind, rain, snow or at night", we recommend tips for making your flag last longer.

Wash your flag in normal detergent on a 30 degree wash, at least once every two months
Check flags for any signs of wear and tear at the fly end.

We recommend that you lower your flag in wind speeds exceeding Beaufort 7

A flag flown in day light hours will last approximately four times longer than a flag flown night and day.

Excellent Service

I have used Flying Colours in the past and they have never disappointed. A fairly short deadline for a new banner was speedily processed and dispatched well within the time...no problems, no hassle and always polite and on top of communication. Thank you Chris and all at Flying Colours - you passed the service test with "flying colours"!

5/5 - great experience all round

5/5 - every flag one of the 4 flags we've bought has been great - easy to order, arrives promptly & quality is excellent ... have yet had to replace any of them despite them being up for several years. I'm no Flag expert but they are are always super helpful whenever I have any questions.

Great Service

Just entrusted that company with a bespoke banner for a university degree exhibition. The team was very professional and quick acting during the different phases of realisation. They have accomplished a great job making every effort to work within our tight schedule. The banner is everything we expected regarding the design and quality. It looks absolutely amazing !

Repeat order given thanks to original quality

We had a great experience when they made new flag for our sailing club. They had made the original many years before, which is testament to the quality. When it came to the new one, they were helpful, professional, competitively priced and quick. They even did a quality repair on our old flag until the new one was ready.

Great Custom Burgees

Flying Colours made three custom burgees for me, in addition to Japanese courtesy flags (I live in Japan but it's impossible to get rugged Japanese courtesy flags here!!). The design work was professional and fast and the quality of the burgees/flags was first rate -- very strong and well made. And they were all delivered to me in Japan ahead of schedule. I will be definitely using them next year to design another new burgee and to make more of the ones they made for me this year.

Military Coffin Drape.

I ordered a Military Coffin Drape for my friends upcoming funeral, I was very pleased with the outcome it being made of quality material and the Regiment Badge was very clear. The experience and service from FlyingColours was second to none and I thank all the team that worked on my drape.
