Types of American Flags

Embassy Flag offers a wide range of American-made USA flags, including:

Outdoor American Flags

Our selection of outdoor nylon and outdoor polyester American flags includes:

• Extreme Size USA Flags. Our extra-large USA flags are available in 40 ft x 70 ft, 40 ft x 75 ft, and 50 ft x 80 ft in both nylon and woven polyester.
• U.S. Government Specification Outdoor Flags. Available in cotton and nylon materials, these flags are made in adherence to Federal Specification DDD-F-416F and Title 4 US Code. They feature a hoist-to-fly ratio of 1:1.9, sewn stripes, embroidered stars, heavy canvas duck heading, and #2 rolled rim, solid brass toothed grommets.
• Garrison Flags (Army, Navy, Marines). Available in the standard 20 ft x 38 ft size, military garrison flags are displayed on Sundays, special flag-flying holidays, and regional celebrations, in place of regular post flags.
• Post Flags. We supply post flags to meet government specifications for military posts, including 8 ft 11 3/8 in x 17 ft nylon post flags for Army and Air Force posts, as well as 10 ft x 19 ft nylon or woven polyester flags for Navy Ensign and Marine Corps posts.
• Storm Flags. Our nylon 5 ft x 9.5 ft storm flags meet military size requirements for flying in inclement weather.
• Internment/Burial/Casket Flags. These flags are draped over the casket or accompany the urn of a deceased veteran who served in the US armed forces. The internment flag is typically given to the next-of-kin as a keepsake after the funeral. We offer both cotton and nylon casket/internment flags with dimensions of 5 ft x 9.5 ft. Our cotton burial flags are not suitable for regular outdoor display.
• Boat Flags. We supply smaller USA outdoor flags for boats. They are available in 12 ft x 18 ft, 16 ft x 24 ft, 20 ft x 30 ft, and 24 ft x 36 ft in nylon materials. Embroidered stars and sewn stripes are available from Annin Flag only – the rest are printed nylon.

American Flags Variations

American Flag Materials

USA flags from Embassy Flag are made with the following materials:

• 200 Denier Nylon. This is the longest-wearing nylon flag material available, designed for daily outdoor use. These flags dry quickly and fly easily.
• 2-Ply Open Weave Polyester. This material is heavier, making it an ideal option for flags flown in high-wind areas.
• Heavyweight Outdoor Mercerized Cotton. These flags are meant for hanging on indoor walls or for occasional use. They are not recommended for regular outdoor use.

Construction details for outdoor flags may also vary, depending on their size. Stripes are generally sewn on flags that are 3 ft x 5 ft or larger. Embroidered stars are included on flags from 3 ft x 5 ft to 12 ft x 18 ft. Appliqued stars are included on flag sizes of 15 ft x 25 ft and over.

Color Brightness for American Flags

We guarantee colorfastness for nylon and woven polyester United States flags for one full year.
