Large Format | Traditional Sewn Construction | Proudly Australian Made | Ideal for Maritime Institutions, Civic Buildings & National Ceremonies

Fly a flag that honours Australia’s maritime legacy with dignity and scale. The 2400mm x 1200mm fully sewn Red Ensign Flag is a large-format, professionally crafted flag designed for high-visibility display on flagpoles between 9–12 metres. Suitable for outdoor or indoor use, this flag is ideal for naval commemorations, heritage centres, civic ceremonies, and formal government settings.

Each element of the design—the Union Jack, Commonwealth Star, and Southern Cross—is individually cut from colourfast woven polyester and sewn into place, creating a richly textured, durable, and historically respectful flag. This is not a printed product, but a carefully constructed symbol of service and national heritage.

What the Red Ensign Represents

The Australian Red Ensign carries the same structural elements as the national flag but is set against a bold red background. This version of the flag was historically used by Australian merchant ships under the British Merchant Shipping Act, and remains a powerful emblem of maritime service.

• The Union Jack reflects Australia's colonial origins and ties to the Commonwealth.

• The Commonwealth Star, with seven points, symbolises the unity of Australia’s states and territories.

• The Southern Cross, positioned on the fly, evokes Australia’s geographical location and independent identity.

• The Red Field marks the flag’s official role in identifying Australian commercial and merchant vessels throughout the 20th century.

Today, the Red Ensign is flown on ANZAC Day, Merchant Navy Day, and at memorials and maritime museums across the nation.
