Municipal flag of Šmartno ob Paki, horizontal and vertical versions - Images by Željko Heimer, 12 June 2006

The municipality of Šmartno ob Paki was formed in 1995.
Šmartno ob Paki (this last means "on Paka"
river) is one of the smallest municipalities in Slovenia (17,84 sq. km;
2,818 inhabitants).
Željko Heimer, 25 March 2000
According to Stanič [stj05], the flag and arms of Šmartno ob Paki were adopted on 28 October 1996. The flag, in proportion 1:2, is vertically divided blue-white-blue with the coat of arms in the middle. The height of the coat of arms is 2/3 of the flag height. Blue represents the Paka river whereas the white background increases the visibility of the coat of arms.
A coat of arms of this size would be touching the blue fields in the
vertical flag and is therefore not used; apparently the coat of arms in the
vertical flag is 2/3 of the width of the white field - as shown by Stanič and as seen on photographiess of table flags provided by the municipal administration. However, the horizontal flag shown by Stanič has an even smaller coat of arms, being of the height equal to 1/3 of the flag width. The horizontzal and vertical flag in that book are obviously
from two sources as they differ in colour shades.
The official colour specifications are: Blue, HKS 46K; Red, HKS 23K.
The flag and arms are also described on the municipal website.
