Flag making - AA Flags
The tradition of flag-making is rich and diverse, spanning cultures, history, and craftsmanship. Flags have ancient origins dating back to 11th century BC China and other civilizations such as India, Egypt and Rome. Originally, they were made of light materials allowing them to flutter freely in the wind, simple patterns were favoured, often excluding wording. As they developed, the traditional method of producing a flag involves stitching pieces of fabric together using an industrial sewing machine, however printed versions are becoming more popular.
AA Flags Limited has been making flags from its Consett base since 1992. They can make and supply flags of every type to enhance ceremonial settings and for use by all branches of the military from currently serving units to ex-service associations together with youth organisations, businesses, and individuals. Their flags are all made in high quality, durable fabric, and all the materials are Ministry of Defence approved, and feature a special reinforcement system, which is added during manufacture. Logos and text are either dye printed, or appliqué sewn.
