By order of the Governor and in accordance with the Honoring Hometown Heroes Act, flags over the State Capitol, all State office buildings, all county and city buildings in the state and upon all Tennessee public grounds shall be flown at half-staff from sunrise until sunset on August 15, in honor of Memphis Police Officer Demetrice Lavelle Johnson who was killed in the line of duty on August 2, 2024.

Rest Overnight: flying the flag overnight almost doubles exposure to winds, unless required take flags down at dusk and raise at dawn.

Expected Life: flags flown continuously last 3 - 9 months, but can last up to 2 years if brought in at night and out of strong winds.

Knitted polyester is a lightweight fabric that is suitable for indoor and outdoor use and flies easily in the wind. It is recommended for use in calm to moderate environments, as it will fly even in a slight breeze.

Fully sewn flags are the most prestigious-looking option. They are made from the same woven polyester material as flag bunting, but the design is sewn on rather than printed, giving it a premium look.

The Nauru Flag is screen printed on a single side of knitted polyester material and the ink bleeds through the material so the design appears as a mirror image at the other side of the flag. The flag is suitable for outdoor and indoor use and can be installed on a flagpole.

It's important to note that flag life will depend on weather conditions including wind, rain, and UV exposure. For tips on maximising the lifespan of your flag, visit our Flag Care page.

Our stock flags are available in three main fabric types: Knitted Polyester, Woven Polyester, and Fully Sewn. Each fabric offers unique characteristics to suit various environments and purposes. It is important to understand the differences in order to choose the right type of flag for your needs.

Flags are subjected to the elements. Ultra violet rays and high winds cause the breakdown of fibres in flags, particularly the breakdown of the sewn edges at the extremities.

The Nauru Flag is screen printed on a single side of knitted polyester material and the ink bleeds through the material so the design appears as a mirror image at the other side of the flag. The flag is suitable for outdoor and indoor use and can be installed on a flagpole.

Select the right material: woven polyester fabric is more durable to withstand strong winds. Knitted polyester flies best in light to moderate winds.

Woven polyester is a heavy-duty linen-look fabric that is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It is considered to be longer-lasting and more durable than knitted polyester, and has a higher UV resistance, making it suitable for harsher conditions.
