5”x9” seems quite small. Usually, a 3’x5” standard flag is presented to the family. Looking at my well folded 3x5, it would never fit into that small of a box.
Folks make display boxes specifically for flag and awards etc- two compartments with a 5 sided polygon shape.

By 5x9 case, he means a case made for a 5'x9 1/2' flag when folded. Don't know if his is a triangle. Just what I found with a quick search.

The flags they use for military honors is 5’ x 9’ to cover the casket.

Burial flags are 5x9. The smaller 3x5 are usually presented to the service member for retirements after they been flown over the capitol.
