Q: How long should a flag last?
A: Much of this depends on the care and quality put in by the manufacture as well as the care you give the flag. How long you allow the flag to fly without attention, how the location of the flag effects this as well as the weather conditions. Of course the largest factor effecting longevity is you. Nevertheless you can rest assured that all of our flags are made to the highest standards using the very best materials.

Q: How can I receive a quote for a custom flag or banner?
A: You may contact us directly or simply use our quote form for this. The process is simple and painless!

Q: How long have you been in business?
A: Over 26 years.

Q: How do I determine the correct size flag or flagpole?
A: The length of your flag should be at least 1/4 the height of your flagpole. For example, a 40' flagpole requires a 6' x10' flag or larger. This guideline applies to flagpoles 20' and larger. Most residential flags are 3' x 5' or 4' x 6'. It is not uncommon to see a factor of 1/3 being used.
