Which type of flag/material should I choose for my outdoor flag?
Where and how you use your flag determines what type of material is best.*
*We recommend using the same material for all flags in multi-flag displays.
MOST USES - NYLON is the most widely used. It is the ideal material for most flag displays. The 200 denier material we use to make our nylon flags is tightly woven so it will fly in the slightest breeze, yet it is strong enough for most weather conditions. Nylon flags are lightweight, dry quickly, and have a rich, lustrous appearance.
HIGH-WIND CONDITIONSÂ - Buy POLYESTER if your flag will be displayed in an area with frequent high-wind conditions. The two-ply material we use to make our polyester flags has an open weave. The open weave allows wind to flow through the material resulting in a flag that will wear exceptionally well and look great. Polyester flags are ideal for use in areas where windy conditions will cause a nylon flag to deteriorate very quickly.
WALL-MOUNTED FLAGPOLES - Buy NYLON if your flag will be hung from a wall-mounted flagpole. When there is rain, polyester flags hold moisture and sometimes become so heavy they will cause a flagpole to break.
