How Long Will My Custom Flag Last?

Actual flag life will vary depending on weather conditions, location, frequency of use, and how the flag is cared for.

Protect Your Flag During Severe Weather

For the best results, do not expose your flag to rain, snow, or abnormally high winds. These conditions can considerably shorten the life of any fabric flag.

Avoid Flying Your Flag When It Is Wet

Flying a heavy, wet flag in the wind puts excessive strain on the fabric and stitching; and will greatly reduce the life of your flag.  Should the flag become wet, spread it out and allow it to dry completely.  Regardless of how well it is constructed, a flag is not indestructible.  Since they are made from fabric and subjected to the elements, all flags will wear out sooner or later.  Reasonably good care of your flag can contribute greatly to give it a longer life.

A Note About Double-Sided Flags

Double-sided flags are not intended for prolonged outdoor use.

 They are constructed of two printed flags attached back to back with a block out liner in the middle.  They are heavy and will need more wind to fly.  They will also retain more water putting more stress on the flag which will deteriorate faster than single reverse printed flags.
