About Us

The Flag Shop Ltd. – New Zealand’s Trusted Flag Specialist

Who We Are

Based in Christchurch and proudly serving New Zealand and the world, The Flag Shop Ltd. has been supplying high-quality flags and banners for over 20 years. Whether you need one flag or ten thousand, we offer fast, reliable service with a personal touch.

Who We Serve

We supply individuals looking for stock flags, custom-made designs, or even their first flagpole for home. We also work with businesses that need large orders or branded flags and banners for promotions. Our clients include government departments, the New Zealand Defence Force, and many local councils and schools.

What We Offer

We stock the largest range of flags in New Zealand, ready for same day dispatch. Most of our products are sourced from trusted overseas wholesalers. If we don’t have the flag you’re looking for—and neither do our suppliers—we’ll go the extra mile to find it, or we can design and custom-make it for you.

Our Story

Owned and operated by flag enthusiast Timothy Simpson, our journey began with a passion for collecting and sharing flags—something that still drives our mission today. From humble beginnings on Trade Me, we’ve grown into a locally owned, long-standing online business. Collecting flags remains a core part of our identity, which is why we’re not profit-driven. Our goal is to keep flags accessible and affordable for everyone and to see more flags flying around this great country of ours.

Why Choose Us

We have experience supplying flags for major events, including the 2010 Rowing World Cup, the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships, the 2013 World White Water Rafting Champs, the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2025 World Choir Games. We even supplied flagpoles for the Olympics surfing event held in Tahiti and we also supply events such as the NZ Golf Open, motor racing competitions, and Bowls NZ events. Whether you need one flag or 10,000, we are swift, reliable, and ready to deliver.
