Flags Importer Asexual Pride Flag – 2' x 3' Polyester

For a bedroom wall, a dorm door or a front window, this 2 × 3 ft asexual flag from Flags Importer is the size that fills the space without taking over the room. The four ace stripes are dye-sublimated into polyester, and header tape with two metal grommets lets you hang it from hooks, a rod or a railing in a couple of minutes.

What the ace flag represents

The asexual flag was picked by the community itself, through a design contest held by AVEN, the Asexual Visibility and Education Network. Its four horizontal stripes run black, grey, white and purple, top to bottom. Black represents asexuality; grey covers grey-asexuality and demisexuality; white stands for allies and non-asexual partners; and purple stands for the community as a whole. Flying it is a simple way to say that asexuality is part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum too.

Hanging a 2 × 3 ft flag

The grommets sit along the short hoist edge in reinforced header tape. Indoors, two removable adhesive hooks are usually enough, and you won't leave holes in a rental. Across a window, clip the header to a tension rod. On a balcony, zip ties through the grommets will hold it to a railing; bring it in before high winds so the free corners don't fray.

Print and build

Dye sublimation sets the colour into the fibres, so the stripes stay sharp and don't crack. It's printed on one side, and the dye soaks through to show the stripes on the reverse in mirror image. The edges are double-stitched, with four rows of stitching on the fly end, which takes the most strain.
