American Flags For Sale

If you're a business or organization not affiliated with a government agency or military base, your sizing options are more flexible. Choose based on:

• The size of your space
• The flag aesthetic you want
• Whether you already have a flagpole

U.S. flags flown from flagpoles typically range from 2' x 3' to 12' x 18', with larger options like 30' x 60' or 50' x 80' used for dramatic, high-visibility installations.

To save money, start by choosing high-quality flags made in the U.S.A. Flags with materials like Nyl-Glo nylon or Tough-Tex polyester, reinforced stitching, and hand-sewn or embroidered details tend to last longer, reducing replacement costs. Look for options backed by a guarantee and made by manufacturers with professional certifications, such as those from the Flag Manufacturers Association of America or members of the National Independent Flag Dealers Association.

Another way to save is by buying in bulk. Ordering multiple flags at once—for backup or for use in several locations—can reduce the cost per flag and minimize reordering.

Proper flag care plays a major role in extending the life of your American flag. Here are some expert-recommended maintenance tips:

• Match the material to your environment.
  For outdoor flags in harsh or windy conditions, choose a durable polyester U.S. flag.


• Inspect your flag every 2–3 months.
  Look for tears or fraying. Even minor damage can quickly spread. Trim and hem any worn areas to prevent further wear.


• Clean your flag regularly.
  Hand wash outdoor flags with warm water and mild soap, then lay flat to dry. For indoor flags, use professional dry-cleaning to preserve quality.


• Rotate large flags.
  For flags 12' x 18' or larger, consider alternating between two. This gives one flag time to rest or be repaired while the other is displayed — and may qualify you for a bulk discount.

These care practices, combined with high-quality materials, can significantly prolong your flag’s appearance and performance.

American-made flags are known for their superior materials and craftsmanship. While imported flags may cost less upfront, they’re often made with lower-quality fabrics and tend to wear out faster. Buying a U.S.-made flag supports local manufacturers and helps ensure long-term durability.

Follow these U.S. flag etiquette rules to display your flag with proper respect:

With state, city, or organization flags (same pole):
The U.S. flag goes at the top.

With other countries' flags:
Each flag must be on its own pole, all at the same height. The U.S. flag should be to the viewer’s left.

On a wall or window:
Hang vertically or horizontally with the blue union in the top left (viewer’s perspective).

In a group of flags:
The U.S. flag goes at the center and highest point.

On a stage or podium:
Place the flag on a staff to the speaker’s right (audience’s left).
If hung flat, display it above and behind the speaker.

Sometimes flying the American flag on its own is enough. But pairing it with other flags can enhance your display and reflect the diversity and pride within your organization or community. Popular flag pairings include:

• State Flags – Represent your specific state alongside the U.S. flag.
• City Flags – Show civic pride with your local city flag.
• Military Flags – Honor our nation’s service members with military branch flags.

Each of these options pairs beautifully with the American flag, whether you're displaying them outdoors, in a lobby, or at a special event. Just be sure to follow flag etiquette to ensure respectful presentation.

Use this checklist to guide your search for American flags for sale. Asking the right questions up front ensures you select a flag that’s durable, appropriate for your environment, and proudly made in the U.S.A.

Don’t begin your flag-shopping journey without answering the following:

• Will you be flying the flag primarily indoors or outdoors?
• Is your business located in an area with severe wind and weather conditions?
• Are you a government or non-government organization?
• Do you need to purchase a flagpole?
• Are the flags you’re considering made in the United States?
• Does your potential flag retailer offer any guarantee that covers repairs or possible replacements?
