Description
Our European Union flags are manufactured using nylon, a durable and weather-resistant fabric built for outdoor flying. The blue background and 12 stars are digitally printed for vivid colors that are UV-resistant, even when flown in direct sunlight.
These EU flags come equipped with a strong canvas header and brass grommets for reliable mounting on any of our outdoor flagpoles. We offer Europe flags in sizes 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’. The 3’ x 5’ flag is the most popular among our customers and fits great on our 6’ tangle-free flagpole.

How Many Stars Are on the EU Flag?
The European Union flag features 12 gold stars in its design. The number 12 is associated with ‘entirety’ and order, and the use of 12 stars on the flag represents the whole of Europe. This number also plays a significant role in local religions. For example, the ancient Greeks had 12 major deities, the Olympians. This number also appears in Judaism and Christianity, such as Jacob’s 12 sons and Jesus’ 12 followers.
European Union Flag History

G. Lévy and Arsène Heitz. The flag of Europe was later adopted as the official banner of the European Union on June 29, 1985.
