International Code of Signals Pennant — Numeral Eight (8)

The International Code of Signals Numeral Eight (8) Pennant is part of the internationally standardized maritime signaling system used to convey numeric information visually at sea. As a result, mariners rely on numeral pennants aboard commercial vessels, naval ships, and recreational boats for clear and accurate communication.

These pennants allow vessels to display numbers individually or within a multi-pennant hoist. Moreover, they remain effective when radio or electronic communication becomes limited. Consequently, the Eight pennant supports precise, universally recognized numeric signaling across marine environments.

When flown alone or combined with other numeral pennants, the Eight (8) pennant contributes to numeric messages involving bearings, distances, time references, headings, and vessel identification.

Made by Advertising Flag Company — Marine-Grade Construction

Advertising Flag Company / FlagPro proudly manufactures all International Code of Signals flags and pennants, ensuring consistent quality across the entire Code of Signals series.

Each pennant is produced using Glaser Mills marine-grade nylon, selected for its strength, excellent color retention, and resistance to sun, wind, and saltwater exposure. In addition, the lightweight weave allows the pennant to stream cleanly and remain highly visible while underway.

Available Sizes — International Code of Signals Numeral Pennants

The Numeral Eight (8) pennant is available in multiple standardized pennant sizes, which differ from the square alphabet flags. As a result, mariners can select the appropriate length for vessel scale and hoist visibility.

• Size #0: 8″ × 24″ (20 × 60 cm)

• Size #2: 16″ × 36″ (40 × 91 cm)

• Size #3: 16″ × 36″ (40 × 91 cm)

• Size #7: 24″ × 54″ (61 × 137 cm)

• Size #10: 32″ × 72″ (81 × 182 cm)

• Size #14: 32″ × 108″ (81 × 274 cm)

Because these pennants follow international proportions, they integrate seamlessly when flown as part of a complete numeric hoist.

Canvas Heading with Solid Brass Grommets

Each International Code of Signals numeral pennant includes a canvas heading with solid brass grommets, which serves as the only and standard finishing option.

This construction provides secure attachment to signal halyards. Additionally, it delivers durability for repeated hoisting and extended outdoor marine use.
