Beaver dam sells them, but I think they only come packaged with a new spring as well.

I have a trap with a 4"×6" Norwegian flag on it, purchased at a flag store.  My late grandparents both came by boat from Norway in the early 1900's and thought it was fantastic.

Victoria secret has a big selection of elastic banded ones.
Oops wrong catalog.

If you can think about what your traps go through and still find it respectful go for it. Hopefully you at least find some made in the USA if you stick with the idea.

Small flags are available everywhere, they don’t need to say tip up flags.   ::)
