Poly-Max 3" x 5" The Poly-Max™
3' x 5' is our most popular US flag for business.
At American Flags Express we want you to get the right flag for your needs.

The chart below will help you buy the correct US flag for your need. If you're purchasing for a business or fine home, we suggest our BEST SERIES for best look and lowest maintenance. For businesses, the Poly-Max™ is an excellent investment.The Poly-Max™ is also my personal favorite due to its long life, bright color and natural cotton look although it is made of Polyester.
