Betsy Ross Flag — 13 Star Circle — Printed Made in USA

Betsy Ross Flag — 13 Star Circle | Commercial Quality Printed Nylon | Made in USA

The Betsy Ross Flag — with its iconic circle of 13 stars — is one of the most recognized symbols of America’s founding. This is the flag that flew during the Revolutionary War, stitched (according to legend) by Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross at the request of General George Washington himself. Today it stands as a powerful symbol of American heritage, independence, and the birth of a nation.

Built to commercial and municipal quality standards, these flags are trusted by military installations, government agencies, city parks departments, and patriotic households across the country. Made to order in the USA using premium nylon and aniline-dye printing for deep, lasting color — the same construction used on flags flying at courthouses, federal buildings, and military bases.

Single Sided vs. Double Sided — What’s the Difference?

Single sided: The design is printed on one face of the flag. The reverse side shows a mirror image of the design through the fabric — it is not white or blank. For most outdoor flagpole and wall display applications, single sided is the standard commercial choice and the most cost-effective option.

Double sided: Two layers of fabric are sewn together with a liner in between, so the flag displays the correct image on both faces independently. This is the preferred choice for municipal and institutional display where both sides of the flag are visible — such as on a boat, a bracket mount, or a freestanding pole in a high-traffic public area.

Printed vs. Sewn — Which Is Right for You?

This flag uses high-resolution nylon printing — the stripes, stars, and canton are all printed onto the fabric. The surface is smooth; there is no raised stitching between the stripes or stars. This method delivers commercial-grade color accuracy and is ideal for larger sizes and institutional display.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the back of a single-sided flag white?
No. Single-sided nylon flags are not white on the back. The design prints through the fabric, so the reverse shows a faded mirror image of the flag. For a fully correct image on both sides — preferred for municipal and institutional display — choose the double-sided option.

Q: Are the stripes and stars stitched, or is the whole flag smooth since it’s printed?
The entire flag is smooth — stripes, stars, and all. This is a printed flag, not a sewn-appliqué flag. There is no raised stitching between elements. The colors are applied via an aniline-dye process directly into the nylon fabric, producing deep, colorfast results built for commercial outdoor use.

Q: What is the typical delivery time?
These flags are custom printed and made to order. Production time is typically 5–10 business days, plus shipping transit time to your location. Expedited production may be available — contact us before ordering if you have a hard deadline or a municipal/government procurement requirement.

The History of the Betsy Ross Flag

During the Revolutionary War, America’s official flags were made by several craftspeople. In Pennsylvania, Betsy Ross made flags for over 50 years, including flags for the Pennsylvania State Navy in 1777. The earliest records of the popular “Betsy Ross flag” — displaying 13 stars arranged in a circle — suggest it appeared in the 1790s. This iconic design has come to symbolize the birth and early years of the nation.

The story was first brought to public attention in 1870 by her grandson, William J. Canby, who recounted that Colonel Ross, Robert Morris, and General Washington visited Mrs. Ross and asked her to make a flag from a rough drawing — which Washington then redrew in pencil in her back parlor, prior to the Declaration of Independence.
