What Type of Flag Material Is Best Suited to Your Display?

Flag Store USA sells flags in five materials:

  • Cotton: Cotton flags are made of 100% heavyweight cotton but are not treated with any type of preservative, so they are the least durable.
  • Nyl-Brite: Made of all-weather nylon, Nyl-Brite flags are a little less durable than Nyl-Glo flags and do not have a colorfast guarantee, but offer excellent value for the budget-conscious.
  • Nyl-Glo: Nyl-Glo flags are made of the longest-lasting nylon flag material available, and are warrantied to keep their colors for one year.
  • Tough Tex: Made of heavy duty 2-ply polyester, Tough Tex flags are the sturdiest type of flag available.
  • Signature Series: The Flag Store USA’s Signature Series flags are a great option for gifts, retirement presents, etc. They have bigger, brighter stars and brighter material than the Nyl-Glo flags, and come wrapped in tissue paper in beautiful presentation-style boxes. Signature Series flags come in only three sizes:
    • 2½ x 4
    • 4’3” x 5’
    • 4 x 6

Will Your Flag Be Mounted Indoors or Outdoors?

  • Indoor: For all indoor flag displays, you’ll want an all-weather nylon Nyl-Glo flag . We sell ready-to-use indoor flag sets including a fringed Nyl-Glo flag, floor stand, pole, cord and tassles, and a 7-inch or 9-inch gold-plated eagle.
  • Outdoor: Nyl-Glo flags are good for mild-weather environments that don’t get too much wind—a nylon flag will flutter in a 5-6 mph wind. Nyl-Glo flags are made of the longest-lasting nylon flag material available, and are warrantied to keep their colors for one year, which is good to have for an outdoor flag. A Tough Tex flag is best for areas that get high winds and severe weather, though because they are significantly heavier that cotton and nylon flags, they do not move as freely in light wind.

How do you properly retire a worn American Flag? The most common way is by burning. The Ceremony for Disposal of Unserviceable Flags was approved through Resolution No. 440 by the National Convention of The American Legion meeting in New York on September 20-23, 1937. At that time most American flags were made of cotton or wool. Today the vast majority of American flags are made of nylon or other petroleum-based materials. These synthetic materials last much longer but it's important that they are recycled instead of burned.

Ceremony for the Disposal of Unserviceable Flags The current American flag disposal ceremony was set forth in September 1937 when virtually all flags were made with cotton or wool. Today’s durable flags last much longer and are made of nylon or polyester.

Recycling - A Great Alternative
Recycling American flags is an acceptable alternative. Unfortunately, this respectful way of disposal has never been promoted. Now is the time and here is why.Occasional flagstone

Burning American flags made of nylon (a petroleum product) creates hazardous gases and wastes resources. Ironically, burning American flags increases our dependence on foreign oil.

According to DuPont’s “Material Safety Data Sheet” burning nylon produces:

“Hazardous gases/vapors produced in fire are formaldehydes, ammonia, carbon monoxide, cyclopentanone, oxides of nitrogen, traces of hydrogen cyanide, incompletely burned hydrocarbons.

(When burning worn American flags) keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus wear full protective equipment.”

Historical Fact
American flags have been recycled for years. In the 1800’s and 1900’s people would often take two worn cotton or wool flags and patch them together to make one presentable flag. Even today, large flags are trimmed, folded, re-stitched and patched to extend its life.

Fortunately, a new nylon recycling process has been discovered that converts virtually 100% of a nylon flag back into virgin grade nylon material which can be made into another new American flag.
