patriotic banner

Patriotic banners come in a wide range, from small bunting pieces and pennants up to very long garlands. Examples from listings include mini bunting about 1.5 × 3 ft, single banners around 8 ft 3 in, pennant garlands about 12.5 ft, and long banner lengths up to 60 ft.

Common materials include plastic and paper, natural-look burlap, polyester/textiles, and woven poly-cotton blends (polyester/cotton).

Most banners are strung on cord and draped or tied across walls, tables, mantels, windows, doorways, railings, fences, or used vertically as star curtains. Many kits include cord, making them easy to drape or suspend.

They’re commonly used for patriotic holidays—Independence Day (4th of July), Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Flag Day, Presidents Day, and Election Day—as well as backyard barbecues, weddings, birthdays, and graduations.

Individual shapes and pennants vary by product. Examples include shapes about 5.5 × 5.25 in up to 7.75 × 7.25 in, individual pennants around 7.5 × 5.5 in, and kits listing large and small pennants such as 6.25 × 7.5 in (large triangle), 3.75 × 3.75 in (circle), and 3.25 × 2 in (small triangle).
