The company sells directly through its own e-commerce website, by phone, and via local pickup at its East Greenbush, NY facility, serving consumers, government agencies, first responders, and veterans' organizations across the United States.

Product overview

Gettysburg Flag Works is a manufacturer and retailer of flags, banners, flagpoles, and related hardware products. The company operates a platform of physical products organized across several core categories: American flags (indoor/outdoor in various materials), custom flags and banners (personalized with customer artwork via sewing, embroidery, or digital printing), flagpoles (in-ground commercial/residential, wall-mount, parade, and vehicle-mount), and comprehensive hardware accessories. The military memorial product line includes flag display cases (wood, aluminum, plastic in burial and award sizes), grave markers (bronze/aluminum for military branches and conflicts), military medallions, and mourning products (bunting, streamers, casket drapes). Additional categories include state/country flags, historical replicas, civil service flags (fire/police/thin line designs), boating/marine flags, garden flags, awareness flags, and lapel pins. The company emphasizes American-made craftsmanship and serves both retail consumers and institutional customers including government agencies, fire/police departments, and educational institutions. Custom flag manufacturing is a key differentiator with options for hand-sewn applique, embroidered seals, and digitally printed designs.
