Red Ensign Flag (fully sewn) 3600 x 1800mm

Jumbo Format | Hand-Sewn with Precision | Australian Made | For Government Buildings, Naval Ceremonies & Maritime Heritage Sites

Make a powerful and respectful statement with the 3600mm x 1800mm fully sewn Australian Red Ensign Flag—a monumental symbol of Australia’s maritime legacy, designed for maximum visibility and ceremonial dignity. Crafted to official specifications and sewn by skilled Australian flagmakers, this large-format flag is suited to flagpoles 12 metres and taller, making it the preferred choice for government buildings, defence sites, war memorials, and major civic spaces.

Each component—the Union Jack, Commonwealth Star, and Southern Cross—is cut from high-quality colourfast fabric and individually stitched into place. The result is a flag of exceptional texture, durability, and symbolic weight, worthy of the service and history it represents.

About the Red Ensign

The Australian Red Ensign shares its design with the national flag but features a striking red field, historically used to identify Australian merchant vessels under the British Merchant Shipping Act. Over time, the flag has become an enduring maritime emblem—honouring the men and women who served at sea, especially during times of conflict.

• The Union Jack reflects Australia’s colonial heritage and Commonwealth ties.

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

• The Southern Cross, visible from Australia’s southern skies, serves as a guiding symbol of identity, resilience, and honour.

• The Red Background identifies this as the historic flag of Australia’s merchant fleet and remains the official flag of the Merchant Navy.

This flag is commonly flown on ANZAC Day, Merchant Navy Day, and at commemorative installations across the country.
