FLAG MATERIALS
We carefully control the quality of the fabrics used in the production of our flags. From fiber selection to weaving to final finishing, each step is carefully executed. Flags must be colorfast to sun and rain, lightweight, and have high tensile strength. To achieve these results, one must design and construct the fabric to exacting specifications. Because we do all of this, we offer the finest selection of flag fabrics in the world. 100% Made in the U.S.A!
U.S. Flag Description
Our United States flags, 2'x3' up to 12'x18', have embroidered stars and sewn stripes. Our U.S. flags 15'x25' and larger have applique (sewn) stars and stripes.
Our U.S. flags up to 6'x10' have brass grommets, while 8'x12' and larger flags have a heavy-duty rope & thimble design for added strength and support.
Nylon
This heavyweight DuPont SolarMax™ nylon is the most popular and versatile flag fabric available. Nylon's combination of strength and brilliant display, along with its quick drying ability, make it suitable for a wide range of applications. Great in rainy areas, its light weight and close weave enable it to fly in the slightest of breeze, giving the fullest visual effect. Nearly every flag we sell is available in nylon material.
