Description

Welsh Flag

welsh flag

The Welsh Flag consists of the red dragon passant on a background of green and white. This is the official portrayal of the Welsh Flag as ordered by the Welsh Office in 1959. However, the dragon can be designed in any way as long as it is still a dragon. The red and green can vary in any shade and still be considered heraldically official. The Ashburner Family (MrFlag®) were sent the above design by the Welsh Office in 1969.

The Welsh Flag is not represented on the Union Flag (Union Jack) because in 1606 when the first Union Flag was created, the Principality of Wales was united with England and was no longer a separate Principality. In 1535 and 1542 there were acts called the “Laws in Wales Acts" that formally incorporated Wales into the Kingdom of England and ended the existence of the Principality of Wales.

The Red Dragon (Y Ddraig Goch) on the Welsh Flag is the Red Dragon of “Cadwaladr the Blessed", The King of Gwynedd from 664-682. Cadwaladr was said to have been “peaceful and pious" and suffered a terrible death from a devastating plague in 682.

The green and white were the colours of the Tudors who originated from Wales. The Welsh Flag was used by Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 who was victorious in the battle and thus won the “War of the Roses" and was the first Monarch to be of the Tudor Dynasty and the first Welsh King of England. Henry VII was born in Pembroke Castle and his Grandfather, Owen Tudor was originally from the Tudors of Penmynydd, Anglesey.

MrFlag® best quality outdoor printed Welsh flags are among the most versatile and best value flags on the market. Manufactured by us to produce optimum flying weights from top quality materials, our knitted polyester option is a fantastic combination of fly-ability and durability. For an even more durable option, try our exclusive Rhyfelwr™ polyester.

We expect our durable outdoor quality printed flags to last as well as sewn flags whilst flying much better at lower wind speeds. In our view, heavier sewn flags appear to last longer only because they spend less time flying in light wind.

If another flag maker claims that sewn flags last longer than MrFlag durable outdoor quality printed flags for the same number of visible flying hours, challenge them to provide the test data!

Bold vivid colours on both sides of the flag.

Our colours are bright and vivid. We start with vibrant RGB art and lay down our own 8 colour bi-directional print onto the fabric, forcing far more ink through the weave than many of our competitors.

Welsh Outdoor Quality Flag

Most flag makers in the UK and across Europe send out flags with 75-85% show-through on the reverse – while some produce as little as 50-60% after tempting you with super-low prices.

Our flags regularly test as 95% show-through; a difference which is very nearly indistinguishable to the untrained eye.

Poor show-though on flags is almost always the result of cutting corners with ink volumes or value-adding processes.

'Anti fray' netting option.

Choosing the Antifray option results in a piece of white netting being sewn to the right edge of an outdoor flag. It is commonly believed that the netting will fray first, extending the life of the flag. However, there is no statistical evidence to support this theory. We believe this is an unnecessary expense, which in some cases achieves the opposite result. We offer an ‘antifray‘ option ONLY because customers occasionally insist on it. Furthermore, we do not recommend it.

Made to order.

Welshe flag durable outdoor quality printed flags are made to order and customers should allow 5-7 days for them to be manufactured and despatched. If your order is time-sensitive, please tell us at the time of ordering.

How long do MrFlag flags last?

No flag lasts for ever. This is a universal truth.

Welsh Outdoor Quality Flag

Even quality flags as durable and well-made as ours will succumb to high winds. The stronger and more frequent the wind, the sooner your flag will need to be replaced. This is normal wear and tear.

We regularly receive reports of our standard 110-115gsm knitted polyester flags lasting 12-18 months or longer, but this is not the norm and should not be expected. Many customers need to replace their flags every six months or so and most within a year, but in the winter – especially during sustained high winds – this can be much less.

You can increase the life of any flag by taking it down at night, avoiding flying it during periods of severe weather, and also by ensuring that the flagpole is free of rough patches and protrusions upon which the flag can catch.
