The design is actually sublimated into the entire thickness of the fabric, not just silkscreened on top. Of ultra heavy-duty 650-denier polyester, this flag offers outstanding quality at an affordable price. The flag is single-thickness; design shows on both sides. Light shining through the vibrant colours create a lovely stained glass effect. The flag will retain its colour and beauty for years if displayed in shade or semi-shade and is rainproof. Flagpole not included.
