U.S. Merchant Marines Flag Size Recommendations

• 12x18” – Typically used for wall decor, boats or on stick flags for special occasions or celebrations.
• 2x3’ – A size below our most popular, the 2x3' flag is best for large boats or on smaller poles, like our house mount 5' spinning poles.
• 3x5’ – The most popular flag size, seen on 6' house-mounted poles or in-ground poles up to 20' in height.
• 4x6’ – Flown regularly on 25' tall in-ground flagpoles, offering a larger display compared to the 3x5' option.
• 5x8’ – Best suited for 30' poles.
• Header and grommet style – The most widely used method for attaching flags, compatible with both house-mounted and in-ground poles. Durable brass grommets ensure secure attachment to spinning poles and flag clips.
• Pole sleeve and tab options – Ideal for poles without grommet capabilities, often used on house-mounted or indoor flagpoles where a pole sleeve setup is required.
• Pole sleeve with fringe option – A stylish choice for indoor flag sets, with decorative fringe providing an official, polished look, perfect for offices or government buildings.
