Flags FC: custom football flags made in the UK

Flags FC is a British supplier specialising in digital printing of bespoke football flags. The company presents itself as the UK's leading football flag supplier and operates through its online shop, where customers can create their own design from scratch or start from pre-made templates. Its catalogue covers flags for clubs, national teams and fan groups, with free shipping to mainland UK addresses.

Custom design: templates, your own files or design service

The customisation process offers three routes. The first is to select a template from the catalogue — for example, an England flag — and add logos, text or photos using the online designer. The second allows you to upload pre-made artwork, preferably as an editable PDF, when placing your order. The third option, called "Need Us To Design Your Football Flag", covers cases where the customer cannot find a pre-designed style or does not know how to create their own file: the company handles the design.

The workflow described on the site consists of four steps: choose colours, add text, upload files (badge, logo, image or illustration) and preview the design before confirming the order.

Flag and product catalogue

The shop organises its products into several categories. Football flags include models such as the England flag, the upload your design flag, the horizontal tricolour, the St George's Cross, the saltire, the vertical tricolour, the Union Jack, the white ensign, the seven-stripe vertical flag, the five-stripe horizontal flag and the half-and-half horizontal flag. There is also the option for the company to create the design.

Alongside football flags, the catalogue includes other categories: crowd flags, surfer flags, festival flags, hand waving flags, pitch flags, personalised player cards, beach towels, coffin drapes and feather flags. Site navigation allows filtering by competitions and clubs: International, Premier League, Championship, League One, League Two, National League and Other Clubs.

Technical features and finishing

Printing is done with sublimation inks and equipment, which according to the company produces the best possible print quality. Standard finishing includes a reinforced 25 mm hem sewn on all four edges, eyelets inserted automatically every 50 cm and plastic D-rings in each corner for easy hanging.

The flags are fire-retardant, allowing them to be taken into stadiums with the appropriate permission. Each flag has a sewn-in FR label and the company can email a copy of the document if requested. They are also machine washable on a standard 30-degree cycle.

Sizes, lead times and shipping

In addition to the sizes available on the website, the company makes flags and banners in virtually any size upon request for a quote. The stated goal is to produce and dispatch all orders within four working days, with free shipping to mainland UK addresses. The site notes that for last-minute orders for important matches or events, they can probably still deliver on time.

Customer service and resources

The company handles enquiries by email and via a quote request form. It has sections for FAQs, fan groups and team requests. It also publishes a blog with articles on football flag design, choosing sizes for stadiums, comparisons between British and Chinese manufacturing, and promotions such as Black Friday.
