The price for flags varies significantly, with smaller decorative flags costing less than $50, standard-sized flags typically ranging from $50 to $200, and large, heavy-duty, or specialty flags costing thousands of dollars. Factors like material (nylon, polyester, cotton), size, construction (e.g., reinforced corners, sewn stripes), and intended use (indoor, outdoor, parade) influence the final cost.
