Description
Our Argentine flag is constructed in the United States from premium nylon, a lightweight fabric that flies beautifully, even in gentle winds. Additionally, nylon is a quick-drying material, which helps prevent mildew buildup after rain. The classic stripes and Sun of May icon are digitally printed for precise, vibrant, and fade-resistant colors.
Our Argentina flags are available in several sizes, including 12” x 18’, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, and 5’ x 8’. The 3’ x 5’ flag is the most popular among our customers and is an excellent fit for our 6’ house-mounted pole. Each flag has a durable canvas header and brass grommets for secure mounting to any of our outdoor flagpoles.

Argentina Flag Meaning & History
The design of Argentina’s flag was drawn by Manuel Belgrano and first used during the Argentine War of Independence in 1812. However, the flag would not be officially designated as the national flag until 1816.
Belgrano initially chose white and light blue to create the Cockade of Argentina, a circular symbol worn on hats to symbolize allegiance to a political movement. He then used the same colors to create the flag of Argentina, stating that the skies and clouds inspired him. Later, the Sun of May was added to the flag to represent the ancient Inca sun god Inti.
