id=\"caption-attachment-2867\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flag-Works Name on its Small American Flags<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I get this question all the time, and never gave it much thought because all my American flags, country, state, etc. are made in America.\u00a0 Anyways, I decided to check out the competition on the internet.\u00a0 Well, I couldn&#8217;t believe how many people are buying American flags from China companies.\u00a0 Some of the companies are Anley, G128 and VSVO to name a few.\u00a0 Not surprising but I guess the cost is to good to be true.\u00a0 If you have prime for free shipping you can get a Lite polyester flag for $5.65.\u00a0 Simply fantastic right.\u00a0 Hum, read the reviews, you get what you pay for, it&#8217;s junk. Our low price printed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flag-works.com\/american_flags.htm\">American flags<\/a> are made of high quality poly-cotton with good strong grommets and quality stitching. Our price is $15.95 with free shipping.\u00a0 You don&#8217;t have to be a prime member either. Our lowest price printed American flag will out fly, out shine, outlast, out perform any cheap flag from China, or &#8220;good&#8221; flag from China.\u00a0 In fact, for a few dollars more you can get our Made in America sewn stripes and embroidered star <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flag-works.com\/american_flags.htm\">American flag<\/a> for $24.95 and free shipping.\u00a0 This flag will be one you will be proud to fly and tell your neighbors that your flag is made by Americans, in America for Americans and you can prove it.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you prove your flag is made in America or how do I know if my flag was made in China? The short answer is if it doesn&#8217;t have a label you won&#8217;t be able to tell.\u00a0 However, what I do know is by law the flag is suppose to be marked with its place of origin.\u00a0 The only one who can remove that label is the end user.\u00a0 So all american made flags will have a\u00a0 similar label to the ones I have pictured here.\u00a0 The best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flag-works.com\/american_flags.htm\">American flags<\/a> have the FMAA label.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2869\" style=\"width: 179px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a
