North Carolina Flag

Our American-made North Carolina state flags are constructed from high-quality nylon, a durable and lightweight material that can fly even in gentle breezes. Nylon is a quick-drying material, which helps prevent mildew growth after rain. The design is digitally printed onto the fabric, creating vibrant colors that are fade-resistant.

Each North Carolina state flag comes equipped with a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets for attachment to any of our outdoor flagpoles. To determine what size flag to buy for your pole, refer to our table of flagpole heights and the flag size that best fits it proportionally. 

NC Flag Features:

• Produced in the United States
• Authentic 1885 design
• 100% fray-resistant nylon
• Strong canvas header*
• Brass grommets for easy attachment*

*Flags 8' x 12' and larger use a heavy-duty rope and galvanized thimbles for the added strength needed for larger flags. Flags smaller than that size are equipped with a canvas header and grommets.

To set up an indoor display in honor of North Carolina, we recommend using our state flag, which is finished with three borders of gold fringe and a pole sleeve.

North Carolina Flag Meaning

The usage and placement of the blue, red, and white fields are based on the national flag of the USA. 

The first date on the flag of North Carolina, May 20, 1775, is for the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The citizens of Mecklenburg County passed a document called the Mecklenburg Resolves, which annulled all British laws governing the territory. 

The second date, April 12, 1776, is for the Halifax Resolves, a document passed on that day by the North Carolina Provincial Congress that called for independence from Great Britain.
