Here are some suggestions to help you enjoy your new custom-made flags or custom banners longer.

How long should a custom made flag last? This is a common question, but there is no exact answer. The lifespan of custom flags depends on several factors, such as the materials of the flags and weather conditions. Because exposure and care vary, no fixed service life can be guaranteed for a polyester flag.

Here are some suggestions to help you enjoy your new custom-made flags or custom banners longer:

Dry It Before Packing
Do not expose your custom-made flag to rain, snow or exceptionally high winds. These forces of nature can shorten a flag’s life considerably. Should the flag become wet, it should be carefully spread out and allowed to dry completely. Never fold or roll up a wet or damp flag; otherwise, it will become moldy and will wear out quicker.

Keep the Flag Clean
Clean your flags regularly to keep your custom made flag or custom banner looking bright. When the flag gets dirty and needs minor repairs, take it down, repair and then wash it. Do not let your custom flag or custom banner remain in the wash water; otherwise, colors may run. Hang to dry or tumble dry immediately on “air cycle”.

The service life of a custom flag or banner depends on weather exposure, installation, cleaning, storage, and overall care.

For a longer life, one of the most important suggestions for you is to store your custom made flag in a dark location.
