Standard Polyester or Rip-Resistant Polyester — Which One Is Right for Your Flag?
The fabric you choose can make a big difference in how your custom flag looks, moves, and performs outdoors.
* Standard Polyester — Light, Vibrant & Easy to Fly
100D | ~80 g/m²
Looking for a lightweight flag with beautiful movement and vibrant colors? Standard Polyester is a great everyday choice.
Its smooth, lightweight fabric catches even a light breeze, while the surface helps deliver bright colors and sharp design details.
It’s a great fit for:
• Garden and yard displays
• Welcome signs
• Seasonal decorations

Need something more durable for demanding outdoor use?
Rip-Resistant Polyester is made with a rip-resistant weave and reinforced fibers, giving it a much thicker and stronger construction than standard fabric.
It’s designed to better handle wind, rain, sun, and frequent outdoor use.
A great choice for:
• Businesses & storefronts
• Boat and motorcycle flags
• Long-term outdoor displays
• High-wind locations
