The American flag stands as a symbol of the country's principles and deep rooted history.

The U.S. Government has laid out some guidelines for the manufacturing of these flags and how they should be hoisted and lowered. If you are thinking of buying American flags, here are a few important points that you must remember:
Fabric is an important factor that needs to be considered when purchasing American flags, and you should first determine whether you want these flags for indoor or outdoor use. Although you can easily use the outdoor flags for indoor events, the ones that are especially for indoors are made of very delicate materials that are not suitable for outdoor use. Furthermore, the indoor flags may have further decorations that are perfect for use at homes. The common types of fabric used for making these flags are nylon, cotton, and polyester.
According to the American Government, cotton is the most suitable fabric as it is economical, and good for both indoor and outdoor use. They have also laid down specifications for the type of cotton fabric to be used for flags. If you are looking for highly durable and long lasting flags for outdoor use, we would recommend that choose the ones made of polyester.
Structure of the flag is the next important thing that needs to be considered, as the framework plays an important role in ensuring that the flag lasts really long. The printed American flags are just like images that are straight printed on fabric, while the woven flags are colored fabric sewn together to create the flag, thus the woven ones last longer.
