Flag Buying Guide
Not sure which flag to pick? Use this guide to choose the right size, material and print for where you plan to fly or display it.
Size Guide
| Size | Inches | Centimeters | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12"x18" | 12 × 18 in | 30.5 × 45.7 cm | Dorm rooms, offices, desks, boats, golf carts and small display areas |
| 2'x3' | 24 × 36 in | 61 × 91 cm | Walls, windows, balconies, tailgate tents and smaller flagpoles |
| 3'x5' (Most Popular) | 36 × 60 in | 91 × 152 cm | The classic size for porches, house-mounted flagpoles and game-day displays |
| 4'x6' | 48 × 72 in | 122 × 183 cm | Large walls, garages, fan caves and taller flagpoles where you want a statement |
Tip: measure the space or pole before you order. As a rule of thumb, the flag's long side should be no more than about a quarter to a third of the pole's height.
