There are several materials to choose from when purchasing a flag. There are many variables that determine a flags quality, durability and price. Materials used for flags are designed for specific use, flying habits and climate. They vary in thickness, weave and weight. The quality of the inks used to dye the material, or for the digital printing process, determine the level of fade resistance and color fastness. The type of thread and methods to stitch the flag and the fly ends determine whether your flag will fray or shred in high winds. The most popular and best waving flag is nylon – USA Flag Co.® US Nylon American flags. If your flag will be flown outside you need to first decide if you will fly it only on flag flying holidays or daily. Then you must take into consideration your climate, as extreme climates and wind will dictate a special fabric. The best material for extreme weather is polyester – USA Flag Co.® US Polyester American flags.

This is the most common question asked in the industry and the most difficult to answer. No two flags will wear the same due to weather conditions and how often the flag is flown. Our flags offer the best stitching and highest quality materials to get your flag off to a great start.

Do not hang a flag where the wind will whip it against rough surface, such as tree branches, wires or cables or the outside of your home or building. Inspect your flags regularly for signs of wear. Repair any minor rips or tears right away this can be mended easily with a sewing machine or sewing kit. Keep the surface of the pole free of dirt, rust or corrosion that could damage or stain your flag.

If your flag is significantly faded, torn or tattered it is time to retire your flag. Your flag should be retired privately in a dignified manner. In addition, many local community organizations have flag disposal centers that will dispose of your flag for you.

Exposing your flag to rain, wind, snow or high winds will shorten the life of your flag considerably. If you leave your flag exposed to the elements, it will greatly reduce the life of your flag.

The most common flag for residential use is a 3’ x 5’ which can be used on a 5’ and 6’ pole that is attached to the house on an angel or a 20’ in-ground flagpole. Please visit our Flag Materials and Sizes page for more information.

Yes, as long as your pole is large enough to support the weight of the flags. The USA Flag must always fly at the top. The flag underneath should be at least one foot lower and be one size smaller than the USA Flag. Flags of other countries are not to be flown beneath the USA Flag.

We recommend that you hand-wash your flag with mild soap, rinse thoroughly and air dry. You can also use a dry cleaning service. Remember to not fold the flag or put away damp. The colors may run or the flag could become moldy.

The easiest way to get wrinkles out of a flag, especially a US Nylon flag is with an iron. USA Flag Co. recommends spraying some water lightly on the flag, setting the iron to cool to warm (make sure the iron is not too hot so as not to melt the material) and just gently go over the flag until the wrinkles are out. If you have a steamer, that will also work as long as it is set to a low temperature.

Previous to Flag Day, June 14, 1923 there were no federal or state regulations governing display of the United States Flag. It was on this date that the National Flag Code was adopted by the National Flag Conference which was attended by representatives of the Army and Navy which had evolved their own procedures, and some 66 other national groups. This purpose of providing guidance based on the Army and Navy procedures relating to display and associated questions about the U.S. Flag was adopted by all organizations in attendance.
