Flag Size Guide & Pole Chart

Not sure which flag size is right for your display? Use this guide to quickly choose the best size for your pole or setup. Great for retailers, event companies, and wholesale buyers stocking popular sizes.


Quick Rule of Thumb

Typically, the shorter side of your flag should be no more than half the height of your pole. For example, a 3x5ft flag is usually the largest flag you want to use on a 6ft pole.

Our rectangular flags are compatible with our poles because the flag clips are adjustable. Use the chart below to pick the best size for your needs.

Common Flag & Pole Size Chart

Pole Height Recommended Flag Size Typical Use
5 ft pole 2x3 ft Small displays / indoor / compact setups
6 ft pole 3x5 ft Most popular size for homes, storefronts, and events
8–10 ft pole 4x6 ft Commercial displays / higher visibility
15–20 ft+ pole 5x8 ft or larger Large buildings / stadiums / major events

Other Popular Flag Sizes

Not all flags are flown on poles. These sizes are also very common for retail and wholesale orders:

  • 12x18 in – stick flags, parades, desk displays
  • Garden flags – outdoor seasonal décor (with garden stands)
  • Car flags – vehicle windows and event use

Wholesale Stocking Tip

For most retailers, the best-selling sizes to stock are 3x5 ft and 2x3 ft, plus seasonal add-ons like garden flags and 12x18 in stick flags. These cover the majority of customer demand year-round.
