FAQs about New Jersey Flags
What materials are best for New Jersey flags?
New Jersey flag material guide: Choose 200-denier nylon inland/suburbs—great everyday flyer—while 2-ply woven polyester fits shore towns, exposed bay fronts, and rooftops. Ensure a reinforced header, brass grommets, lock-stitching, and extra fly-end. Nylon: 3–6 months crisp; polyester lasts longer with coastal breezes. Tip: rotate and lower for nor’easters.
What size New Jersey flag should I buy?
U.S. & State Flag Size Pairings (3×5 to 5×8)
| U.S. Flag | Typical Pole Height | Same Pole (state flag below U.S.) | Separate Poles (side-by-side) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3′ × 5′ | 15–20 ft | 2′ × 3′ or 3′ × 5′* | 3′ × 5′ | State ≤ U.S. |
| 4′ × 6′ | 20–25 ft | 3′ × 5′ | 4′ × 6′ | Equal OK on separate poles |
| 5′ × 8′ | 25–30 ft | 4′ × 6′ | 5′ × 8′ | Use heavier fabric in high wind |
* Same-size (3′×5′ + 3′×5′) on one pole is acceptable—U.S. must remain at the peak.
Quick Rules
- Nothing flies above the U.S. flag.
- On separate poles, place the U.S. flag on its own right (observer’s left) and at the same height or higher.
- Half-staff (one pole): raise U.S. to peak first, then lower to half; state flag stays below it.
How long will this New Jersey flag last?
Outdoor lifespan depends on wind and sun. In windy or coastal areas, polyester usually outlasts nylon. Rotate a spare and trim early frays to extend life..
Can I wash my New Jersey flag?
Yes. Most nylon and polyester flags can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry fully before reuse.
What’s unique about the New Jersey flag design?
National flag of New Jersey; colors and layout follow the official national design.
Any special protocol for displaying New Jersey flags?
- Same pole (same halyard): The U.S. flag goes at the peak, and the state flag is beneath it. Nothing may be flown above the U.S. flag.
- Separate poles (adjacent staffs): The U.S. flag should be on its own right (the observer’s left as they face the flags) and at the same height or higher than the state flag. Hoist the U.S. flag first and lower it last.
- Size: Other flags should be equal to or smaller than the U.S. flag—never larger.
