Frequently asked questions

How long does a polyester garden flag last?

A double-sided polyester garden flag lasts 1–3 years in full outdoor display, depending on UV exposure and climate. Rotating flags every 90 days extends life significantly.

What is double-sided polyester printing?

Double-sided printing means the design is printed on both sides of the flag so it reads correctly from both approaches to the stand — no mirrored or backwards lettering.

Can polyester flags be washed?

Yes — cold hand wash with mild detergent, air dry in shade. Never tumble dry or machine wash on hot. Full instructions in our wash guide.
