American Flag & Banner Company

How long will my flag last?

It impossible to say how long any flag will last because of the many different applications, locations of use, equipment they are displayed on, whether they are used in the daytime only or 24 hours a day, etc. All things considered our flags will last as long as or outlast any competitors brand.

Because we use on domestic outdoor Dupont Nylon, and hand sew with our  "Gem Bright" colors you can be assured they will last or outlast any other flag sold today. Our Storm Tough message flags will outlast most other custom printed flags 3 to 1.

We realize that many of our valued customers are not familiar with the characteristics of flag construction, dyes, and materials used in manufacturing.  All dyed flags absorb rays.  The color absorption process not only gives us our flag color but aids in the degradation of the dye (fading) from the sun.  The flag materials are effected in the same way and are acted upon by the forces of wind and airborne particles driven into the flag.  The reinforced fly end is also exposed to these factors especially during windy and rainy conditions.  So, flags can be expected to wear or fade out in response to geographical conditions, methods of attachments, and placement within the local area of display.
