New Zealand National Flag, High Quality

Two Eyelets, Not a Pole Sleeve.

Most flags get bought off the photo and then hung on the wrong thing. You order one for the antenna on the 4x4 or for a telescopic camp pole, it turns up with two eyelets down one edge, and you finish up in the dark with a handful of cable ties trying to make it work.

This is a rope-and-eyelet flag. There is a white header strip down the hoist edge with a metal eyelet in the top corner and another in the bottom corner. It ties, clips or screws to a halyard, a fence, a roof rack, an awning leg or a shed wall. It does not slide onto a pole, because there is no sleeve on it.

It comes in two sizes. At 900 × 1500 mm it is a full-size flag rather than a car pennant; at 600 × 900 mm it suits a wall, a window or the caravan. Either way, for the money it is a display flag — a shed wall, a campsite, a clubroom, a weekend on the tracks. It is not a permanent flagpole flag that lives outside in the weather, and we are not going to pretend it is.

Flying more than one flag? Other countries' flags from the same maker, Australia's included, are on our Australian & International Flags listing.

What it Does

• Shed, Garage or Man Cave: two eyelets, two hooks or screws, and it is up. No pole, no rope, no drama — and the 600 × 900 mm fits where the big one won't.
• Strung Across the Awning: cable-tie or clip it between two awning legs so your mob can find the camp after dark.
• Kiwis Working Across the Ditch: it goes straight up on the donga wall or in the crib room, and folds back into the bag when the swing ends.
• Clubrooms & Sports Days: 900 × 1500 mm is the bigger of the two sizes, for a pole at the clubrooms or the ground.
• On an Existing Halyard: if you already run a flagpole with a rope and snap clips, clips go through the eyelets. Eyelet size is not specified by the supplier, so check your clips fit.

Key Features

• Two Metal Eyelets: one in the top hoist corner and one in the bottom, set through a white header strip, as shown in the supplier's photos.
• No Pole Sleeve: there is no tube or casing down the hoist edge, so it will not slide onto a camp pole, a garden pole or a 4x4 antenna.
• Two Sizes: 900 × 1500 mm for a pole or a clubroom, 600 × 900 mm for a wall, a window or a caravan.
• Proportions: 900 × 1500 mm works out at 3:5 and 600 × 900 mm at 2:3 — measure your bracket or halyard span before you choose.
• Printed Polyester: polyester with the design printed on it. The supplier does not publish a fabric weight.
• The Design: Union Jack in the top hoist corner, four red stars of the Southern Cross across the fly half. No lettering or slogan is printed on it.
• Sold as One Flag: flag only. No pole, no rope, no clips and no wall fixings in the box.
• Delivery: Free Standard Delivery, 5 to 10 working days from the day you order. Allow 1–2 days for fulfilment. Regional and remote addresses can take longer.

Limits

Here is what this flag will not do, so nobody finds out the hard way.

• It will Not Fit a Sleeve Pole: the hoist edge is a flat header strip with eyelets, not a tube. If your pole, antenna or garden spike needs the flag threaded onto it, this is the wrong flag.
• It is Not an Official-Spec Flag: the official New Zealand Flag is twice as long as it is high, and this one is cut at 3:5 or 2:3. The supplier publishes no colour reference and no standard either. If it is going up for an official ceremony where the exact blue, red and proportions have to be right, that is a certified flag's job, not this one.
• It will Not Last Flown Full Time: no colour-fastness, UV or wind rating is published for it, and nothing is stated about reinforced stitching at the fly end. Any flag goes at the fly end first. Treat it as a display flag you bring in, not a flag you leave up all year.
• We Cannot Describe the Back: every photograph the supplier provides shows the front face only, and nothing is stated about how the reverse is printed. We are not going to guess at it.
• It is Not a Boat Ensign: nothing here is rated for constant salt spray and marine wind loading, and no marine grade is claimed for it.

Q & A

Will it Slide Onto my 4x4 Antenna or a Telescopic Camp Pole?

No. It has two metal eyelets on a flat header strip, so it needs something to tie or clip to. There is no sleeve to thread a pole through. Check what your pole needs before you buy.

What Sizes can I Get?

Two — 900 × 1500 mm and 600 × 900 mm. The larger one suits a domestic or club flagpole, a clubroom wall or a sports day. The smaller one suits a shed wall, a window or a caravan awning. Pick the size on the product page before you add it to the cart.

What does the Back Look Like?

Not specified by supplier. Every image supplied shows the front face, and nothing states whether the reverse is separately printed or simply shows through the fabric. We have not sighted the back of one, so we are not going to describe it.

Will it Survive Being Flown Outside All the Time?

No rating exists to answer that honestly. What we can tell you is what is on it: a printed polyester flag with no published fabric weight, UV rating or wind rating. Flown around the clock in real wind it will fray at the fly end, the same as any flag without a reinforced fly. Hung on a wall or run up for the weekend, it is doing the job it is built for.

Does Anything Come with it?

Just the flag. No pole, no rope, no snap clips, no wall hooks. If you are hanging it on a wall, two screws or two hooks through the eyelets is all it takes.

How Long will it Take to Get Here?

5 to 10 working days from the day you order. Allow 1–2 days for fulfilment. Regional and remote addresses run longer again. Free Standard Delivery.
