Construction
Stars
- Embroidered stars (standard on most flags) are densely filled with high-gloss polished white thread for a rich finish.
- Printed stars (on select styles) do not block the light shining through the fabric, meaning the stars appear bright no matter what angle of the sun.
- Appliquéd stars for flags 12' x 18' and larger
Stripes
- Sewn stripes (standard on most flags) are constructed with double-stitched seams for added quality. The red & white stripes are sewn together for a traditional look.
- Printed stripes (on select styles) use a dyed fabric for an economical choice.
Edges
- Outside edges (fly-end) are reinforced with 4 rows of lock stitching to resist tearing, insuring a longer-lasting flag.
Headings
- Heavy white polyester canvas headings for stability
- 8' x 12' and larger: roped canvas headings with galvanized thimbles
- Full-sized brass grommets for durability
- 6' x 10' and smaller: solid brass grommets
