FLAGS PRODUCT
EXAMPLES
Manufactured in Canada, these flags use a premium
high tenacity, lightweight nylon. The nylon meets Federal government
specifications. The flags are manufactured for strength and ultraviolet
resistance. Its finish is a brilliant satin appearance in a lightweight fabric
that flies in the slightest of breezes. All flags are screen printed with
water based permanent dyes. The flag is sewn with a double needle lock-stitch
with added backstitching at key stress points for maximum durability.
The Canadian, Provincial and USA Flags are all
available in a variety of sizes ranging from 10"x6" stick flags to 144"x72".
Our most popular sizes are 54"x27", 72"x36" and 108"x54".
Other Countries, Specialty Flags and Custom Designed
Flags are also available. Poles, Brackets and Accessories are also available.

Flag Protocol |
|
-
Do not fly any other flag higher than the National
Flag.
-
When placed on a wall, make sure that the National
Flag is hung as if the mast were on the right side of the flag (your left).
-
No Flag, banner or pennant should be flown or
displayed above the Canadian flag when on the same flagpole.
-
When three flags are flown together, the Canadian
Flag should occupy the central position, with the next ranking flag to the
left and third ranking flag to the right, as seen by spectators in front
of the flags.
-
When two flags or more than three nation's flags
are flown, use separate staffs of the same height.
-
In processions, carry the National Flag on the
marching right.
-
When several other flags are carried abreast,
carry the National Flag in front of the centre of the line.
-
When crossed with another flag, the National Flag
is on the flag's right (reader's left) with the staff over that of the other
flag.
-
A church flag is often used with the National
Flag in the Chancel of a church. In such cases, the National Flag should
be on the left and the Church Flag on the right as you face the chancel.
-
When flying the National Flag at half-mast, first
raise it to the masthead, and then slowly bring it down at least the flag's
width from the masthead, but not more than half way.

Flag Care |
|
-
Where possible, a flag should be taken down every
night.
-
Never store a wet or damp flag; spread it out
until dry.
-
If soiled, a flag may be safely hand washed using
any domestic soap or detergent, which does not contain bleach.
-
If lightly frayed or torn, a flag should be repaired
at once. It could save the cost of a new flag.
-
When your flag is in such condition that it is
no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified
manner.
