Australian Land Flag of 1901

On 3 September 1901, two designs were announced as the competition winners - a blue flag for use by the government and the same design with a red field for use by merchant ships. Ordinary Australians continued to use the British Union Jack on land. The competition design featured a large six pointed star to represent the Federation of the previous colonies, now states. The stars of the Southern Cross had different numbers of points to indicate the relative brightness of each star. It was used between 1901 and 1903.

Fully sewn flags are made with poly woven fabric, which is also referred to as woven "bunting", they are appliquéd, using layers of fabric and custom stitching to make the artwork. Long-lasting, durable, as well as the most elegant and undoubtedly a keepsake item. These are made using the traditional methods of flag making.

Printed on a poly woven fabric similar to the fully sewn flags just a less denier for the ink to penetrate through the fabric, this makes them suitable for indoor and outdoor use, this is the most durable and traditional of the printed flags. These are either screen printed or digitally printed.

Digitally printed can be printed on a lightweight satin or a poly knitted fabric, a cost-effective option.

All flags are made in house in our workroom here is Sydney, and are finished with double stitched hems with UV stable header tape and UV stable recycled thread.

All flags unless specified otherwise are finished with sister clips, other finishes are available such as sleeves for poles, or loop and tail etc, if you require these please put the finish you would like in the notes when you view your cart.
