Buy / Sell Swiss flags: discover all the secrets of the Swiss flag !

The Swiss flag consists of a red background on which a white cross is placed. It is one of the symbols of the Swiss Confederation, a multilingual country in Europe known for its military and political neutrality and on which many international organisations sit. The Swiss flag is one of the few flags in the world with a square shape in a 1:1 ratio proportion. The official Swiss flag was adopted on 12th September 1848 and its standard measures established by the Swiss Federal Council. Officially, the square flag is used as a national flag. The merchant and state maritime flags have a rectangular shape unlike the national flag.

The red symbol with a white cross is also used as the Coat of Arms of Switzerland, the heraldic definition of which is "gules with a cross reamed Argent", i.e. red in colour with a white cross that must not touch the edges of the crest. The historical origins of the Swiss Federal Cross are uncertain: some historians claim that this symbol would be a symbol of the Burgundian kingdoms of the 4th century, others declare that the Swiss cross would come from the imperial banner of the Holy Roman Empire of the 12th century.

Today, the white Swiss cross on red of the Swiss national flag is found in some official flags of the Swiss Cantons such as Schwyz or Neuchâtel, in the field of Swiss sport (Swiss Gymnastics Federation, Swiss Olympic National Association) and also in the commercial field with famous Swiss brands such as the Victorinox Swiss knife brand or the Swatch watch brand.
