How do I know if I am buying an American Flag that is Made in the USA?

The Flagpole Company is a longstanding proud member of NIFDA. Assuring all of our customers that any American Flag you purchase from us is guaranteed to be MADE IN THE USA!


The National Independent Flag Dealers Association (NIFDA) is made up of American Flag Manufactures & American Flag Dealers who manufacture, retail or distribute American Flags that are exclusively Made in the USA.

Manufactures, Retailers & Distributors who sell manufactured offshore brands are not allowed to join. NIFDA Members & their businesses are vetted to insure loyalty & trustworthiness to manufacturing & or retailing ONLY American Flags made in the USA.

What's behind the Label?

      While USA guidelines for sales & trade regarding American Flags currently only require a "Made in the USA" label or       tag for American flags made in the USA, it does not require or mandate American Flags to be made in the USA.

      Sadly, due to non regulation, many American Flags are actually made in China or other offshore entity & imported       into the USA for sales distribution throughout the USA via Amazon, Facebook & other social media outlets.
      Amazon, Facebook & the rest of social media do not require American Flags sold on their platforms to be
      Made in the USA.

      NIFDA has found many sellers on these platforms claiming to be selling "Made in the USA" American Flags with       falsely tagged made in the USA stickers & labels attached to them as well as Logos and brands of true iconic long       standing USA Manufactures such as Valley Forge & Annin Flag.

      Importing American Flags specifically from China & retailing them in the USA and or branding them
      "Made in the USA" has become a serious problem in the united states.
