Argentina Flag - Durable Polyester National Flag - 60x90cm

This flag is available in 60×90 cm (approx. 2×3 ft) and 90×150 cm (approx. 3×5 ft). The 90×150 cm (3×5 ft) size is the standard outdoor display size — it's what you typically see on a 5–6 ft residential flagpole and large enough to read clearly from the street. The 60×90 cm (2×3 ft) size works well on a shorter 4 ft pole, mounted on a wall bracket, or for indoor display on a desk stand. If you're flying it outdoors next to other flags, match sizes — a 3×5 ft next to a 4×6 ft looks mismatched.

This flag is made from 100% polyester, which handles light outdoor display well. It's fine for weekends, events, and occasional flying. For continuous 24/7 outdoor display, expect the colors to start fading after 3–5 months of direct daily sun — polyester has less UV resistance than nylon. If you plan to fly it year-round outdoors, take it inside on windy or stormy days. The fabric is fade-resistant, which slows but does not stop UV degradation over time.

This flag has two brass grommets on the left (header) side — one near the top corner and one near the bottom corner. Standard flagpole clips attach directly to these. For a wall mount, use two screw hooks spaced to match the grommet distance. The grommets are reinforced with a canvas header strip so they won't pull through with normal use. If attaching with rope, use a bowline knot — it holds tension without slipping and doesn't damage the grommet.

The flag is printed using dye-sublimation, which bonds the ink directly into the fabric rather than sitting on top of it. This is a single-sided flag — the design is printed on the front, and the reverse shows a mirror image that is slightly faded. This is standard for most display flags at this price point. If you need a fully opaque double-sided flag (for wall mounting where the back is visible), that option is available separately.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent — avoid bleach, which degrades the polyester fibers and strips the color. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. High heat causes polyester to pill and shrink slightly. Do not wring — lay flat or hang to dry. If storing for a season, fold loosely rather than stuffing tightly, which causes permanent crease lines in the fabric.

The light blue and white stripes were adopted by General Manuel Belgrano in 1812 and are said to represent the sky and clouds above Buenos Aires during the May Revolution of 1810. The golden Sun of May in the center — with 32 rays alternating straight and wavy — commemorates the appearance of the sun through the clouds during the first mass demonstration in favor of independence. The sun's face is based on the Incan sun god Inti.
