Guatemala Flag

Celebrate the country of Guatemala with this high-quality Guatemalan flag. These flags are manufactured in the United States using premium nylon, a lightweight fabric that dries quickly and flies beautifully even in gentle breezes. The iconic tricolor and national coat of arms are digitally printed to create vibrant, fade-resistant colors for use under direct sunlight.

These flags have a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets for straightforward attachment to any of our outdoor flagpoles. We offer the flag of Guatemala in sizes 12” x 18”, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’. The 3’ x 5’ flag is a bestseller among our customers and is an excellent fit for our 6’ house-mounted pole.

Please note that the 12” x 18” flag is the civil ensign and does not feature the coat of arms.

Guatemala Flag Meaning & History

The current flag of Guatemala was adopted on August 17, 1871, and is based on the flag of the Federal Republic of Central America, a state that existed from 1823 to 1841. The light blue stripes symbolize the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans surrounding the country, while the white is for peace.

In the center is Guatemala’s coat of arms. Inside is a scroll that marks the date Central America gained independence from Spain on September 15, 1821. On top of the scroll is a resplendent quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala. Below the scroll are two crossed rifles and swords, representing honor and defense of the country. Surrounding all these elements is a crown of bay laurel, which stands for victory.
