Frequently Asked Questions

Q-How do I prevent my decorative flag from wrapping around my pole?
A-For regular size decorative flags we recommend poles equipped with anti-wrap kits. The anti-wrap kit reduces stress on the flag by allowing it to move around the pole and avoid tangling.

Q-Are some flags better quality than others?
A-We pride ourselves in selling the best quality flags available. There are some things to watch for in a good quality flag. Sublimated or Heat set are the best treatment for a fade resistant art
flag. Silk screen treatments are not fade resistant, usually are less expensive and do not have as long a life. Applique flags are made with different quality nylons and stitching. Some are more fade resistant than others (ask questions before you buy your flags). Applique flags with a cleaner fly end and no areas where the wind can pull the fabric loose are a better value. Do look at the construction of your flag. The applique flags that we sell are the most fade resistant that we can find and we are careful of clean flowing fly ends.

Q-How often should I change my flag?
A- Ideally you should change your flag a minimum of 3 times a year. This truly extends the life of your flag. This allows you to inspect your flag, changes your decorative look with the season, and will aid in keeping your flag looking fresher longer.

Q-How do I dispose of my old Canada flag?
A-When a flag is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display and cannot be repaired, it should be disposed of privately by burning.
