These flags are constructed in the United States using premium nylon, a durable, fray-resistant material. Nylon is also lightweight, meaning it can fly even in gentle breezes. The iconic blue Nordic cross is digitally printed for vivid color and sharp lines that are also fade-resistant.

Finland Flag Meaning & History
After Finland declared independence in 1917, a nationwide competition was held to determine the new national flag. One submission used the same Nordic cross design as the Danish flag, but as a yellow cross on a red field. Another entry consisted of diagonal blue and white stripes. These two designs were combined to create the blue Nordic cross we see today.
The Nordic cross on Finland’s flag is blue, symbolizing the country's lakes and skies. The cross symbol itself represents Christianity. The white background represents the snow that covers the nation in winter.
