Description
Showcase your connection to the Central African Republic with a high-quality national flag!
Our Central African Republic flag is made in the United States from lightweight nylon, which allows it to fly proudly even in mild winds. Nylon’s lightness also means it can dry quickly after rain, helping prevent mildew growth. The flag’s stripes and yellow star are digitally printed, creating bold, UV-resistant colors.
Each of our flags comes with a durable canvas header and brass grommets for easy installation on an outdoor flagpole. Our bestselling 3’ by 5’ flag is an excellent fit for our 6’ house-mounted pole. Refer to our table of outdoor pole heights and their recommended flag size to help determine which option is right for you.
