Standard sizes for outdoor state flags are 2x3 ft, 3x5 ft, 4x6 ft, 5x8 ft. and 6x10 ft. Extra large outdoor nylon flags are offered in 8x12 ft, 10x15 ft and 12x18 ft. Production process includes a #10 white nylon rope is sewn into the 2” cotton polyester blend header. Galvanized metal thimble ends are crimped to the rope ends for attachment to the flag snaps. An additional brass grommet is placed midway on the heading for use with a third flag snap for durability and stability on the halyard.

White flag with the state flag emblem in the center, the word "ILLINOIS" underneath. Illinois was admitted as the 21st U.S. State in 1819. Illinois has had two official state flags. The first was adopted on July 6, 1915 after a design contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution.A bill to amend the original flag act of 1915 was passed by the General Assembly and became effective July 1970. It modified the design, specified colors to be used, and added the word "Illinois" underneath the seal. On a white field the flag displays elements from the state seal—a rock on a stretch of land with water and the rising sun behind it, and a shield bearing the national stars and stripes in the claws of a bald eagle. A ribbon in the beak of the eagle bears the state motto “State sovereignty—national union”. The dates 1818 (for statehood) and 1868 (for the first use of the state seal) are shown on the rock beneath the eagle..
