Description

As the birthplace of the Red Cross, Switzerland pursues peace-keeping missions worldwide, keeping with the country’s infamous neutrality in international warfare. Show off your national pride for this harmonious nation with a flag of Switzerland!

Our Swiss flags are made in America of 100% nylon fabric, creating a durable and sturdy flag ideal for outdoor or indoor display. Nylon is a lightweight material, ensuring your flag will fly regally in the breeze. The classic red and white cross design is digitally printed for vivid colors that are fade-resistant, even when flown in direct sunlight.

These Switzerland country flags come equipped with a strong canvas header and brass grommets for use with an outdoor flagpole. The 3’ by 5’ flag is our most popular size and is an excellent fit for our 6’ tangle-free flagpole.

Switzerland Flag Meaning & History

Switzerland’s flag holds a unique status: Apart from the flag of Vatican City, it is the only national square flag worldwide constructed with a 1:1 ratio. The flag we offer comes in a 2:3 ratio, Switzerland's official civil and state ensign.

The white Swiss cross has a long history, starting in the late 13th century. The Old Swiss Confederacy used it as a field sign, a mark used to identify group members. The confederation was a loose organization of several independent states within the Holy Roman Empire, formally achieving independence in 1648 through the Treaty of Westphalia. Switzerland’s flag was officially adopted on October 11, 1841, when it was declared the uniting symbol of the Swiss cantons.
