This is the flag of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It is made to order in the USA from heavyweight 200-denier nylon. The fabric is dyed with an aniline dye process for deep color, wash-fastness and light-fastness.
The perimeter has a 1-inch double-edge fold, with four rows of lock-stitching on the fly edge and reinforced stitching at the top and bottom fly corners. Standard sizes have solid brass grommets on the hoist (left) edge. Sizes 8x12 ft and larger attach with rope and thimble. Grommets can be added to the top and bottom edges for wall mounting or display cases.
It is built for long-term outdoor display. Suggested settings include NOAA research stations and field offices, government and federal buildings, maritime and coastal installations, embassies, honor guard and color guard displays, and schools, universities and science centers.
