What is the «proportion», and which one is right for my flag?

The proportion is the ratio between the height and the width of the flag. The common one for a classic flag is 2:3. Every country has its own official proportion, which is not always 2:3.

A flag in proportion 2:3 is two units tall and three wide: 100x150cm, for example. A flag in 1:2 is twice as wide as it is tall: 100x200cm.

On the product page the line Sizes for proportion shows the proportion in use; Change opens the others.

Which one for a national flag?

Every country sets its own. Italy, France and Spain use 2:3. Slovenia, Croatia, Ireland and Hungary use 1:2.

In practice, a flag looks right when it matches the ones flying next to it. In Italy almost every flag is 2:3, so a Slovenian flag flown in Italy is usually ordered in 2:3 rather than in its official 1:2. If the flag flies alone, or in its own country, choose the official proportion.

The limit, said plainlyThe official proportion of Germany, Bulgaria and Lithuania is 3:5, which we do not offer yet.
