You've seen them on the front porches and draped on fences. Bunting flags. That festive fabric, paper, cardboard, and even paper decorations. They spring up during national days and events. They usually come in pleated fan shapes or strings of vibrant red, white, and blue triangular shapes. A classic patriotic symbol.
But what else do you know about buntings, especially flag buntings?
Flag buntings are not limited to the 4th of July decorations, political events, and state holidays alone.
You can use them during sporting, business, and social events, too.
Note that if you intend on displaying your bunting flags for several days straight, and in a sunny region or season without damaging them, do get ultraviolet-protected and nylon bunting.
That range protects your patriotic investment against fading and making the bunting feel as if the colors have run or violated the U.S. flag Code.
You can choose to get a 100% nylon flag bunting or a heavy-duty cotton blend, both of which you can use both indoors and outdoors.
Also choose between printed or hemmed, double-stitched sewn stripes. Choose any American bunting size you wish as well, including stripes’ width.
For a strong finish, you also can have your flag bunting stitched with a reinforced header on both cut ends, with grommets attached on the top, bottom or both sides of each header.
You can also get creative and use flag buntings together with one or multiple U.S. flags, Red/Blue/White bows, and banners.
For example, you can raise the American flag on a flagpost in the yard (especially powerful for veterans), string banners on the front porch, and display your bunting around your fence or on one side.
Flag bunting allows patriots to be a little more playful with the Red, White, and Blue.
However, you are encouraged to respect the integrity of the flag bunting as it is a form of the United States flag.

It is easier to buy flag bunting now than ever before.
You can purchase online from the comfort of your couch and have the bunting delivered well in advance of your special event.
Watch out for online American flag bunting sellers that import their products from foreign countries. Bunting made in America by an American team knows by heart and adheres to the U.S. Flag Code. Not undermine the patriotic symbol by outsourcing its making to a foreign entity.
Also, check independent online reviews of the store on social media and a platform such as Yelp! Do they provide high-quality bunting? Do they offer custom flag bunting? Do they stay true to their warranty terms, too?
That way, you can learn from the experience of others. If they rate the store highly and gladly recommend them, you can expect to purchase satisfying bunting.
