Google/NHS printer and ink. (Best value for money )
Peter pig ones are nice but small.
The flag dude dude?
My favourite were I think sheets done by Essex on slightly glossy paper?
Isn’t there a manufacturer that comes with pole and finials attached, if they exist, they are excellent.*
I’d just trawl eBay . People sell sheets of flags they’ve just printed off for like £2 but some of them are as good as commercial and much cheaper.
This is a terrible answer really.

Re: Nicest 15mm ACW flags?
There is chap who does the flags ready mounted on poles (I wish he'd explain to his customers that you're supposed to cut the pole to the correct length). I believe he prints the outline of the flag on thin paper and then, so it appears, the colour is added in thin washes. That may not be the way he does it but the washed out end effect is really very nice. I think he's Canadian (don't know where I got that idea from) and does quite a few shows down south.Purple wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 10:05 am Google/NHS printer and ink. (Best value for money )

Maverick flags are pretty good and he'll do custom sizes.

I had good service from Maverick Models in the past when I needed some AWI flags. Can't comment on their ACW offering.

I brought some ACW Union flags decades ago but can' remember who from, it may have been PP. Anyway, I did a little shading on them but apart from thoise I have always painted my own.

GMB are excellent, if a little ‘clean’.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.
