Fully Sewn Bangladesh Flag

To ensure the longevity and vibrant appearance of your flag, please follow these care instructions:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to avoid fading and never apply bleach or similar products.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is needed, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
   • Drying: Air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can lead to shrinkage and damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the Bangladesh Flag:
   • Place the flag on a clean, flat surface with the green field facing up.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the two shorter edges together.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise once more, ensuring the edges remain aligned.
   • Starting from one end, fold the flag into a triangle shape, making sure each fold is smooth and the red circle remains visible.
   • Continue folding the triangular shape inwards towards the flagpole end until the flag is in a neat triangular form.
   • Ensure the flag is evenly folded with no wrinkles.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp surfaces that could cause snags, tears, or abrasions.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly hoisted and not in contact with the ground or obstacles.
   • Flag Exposure: Minimise exposure to harsh weather conditions by taking the flag down during severe weather or in the evening.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, replace the flag with a spare and have the damaged one professionally repaired by a seamstress.
   • Replacement: As the flag ages, showing significant signs of wear, consider ordering a new one to maintain a fresh appearance for upcoming events or ceremonies.

Flying the Bangladesh Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flagpole is clean and free of any obstructions.
  • Securely attach the flag to the halyard or rigging.
  • Gently raise the flag to the top of the pole, ensuring it does not touch the ground.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is fully unfurled and not tangled or bunched up.
  • The flag should be hoisted high and kept clear of any objects or surfaces that might obstruct its view or cause damage.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • Raise the flag to the top of the pole briefly before lowering it to the half-mast position.
  • Position the flag halfway down the pole, symbolising mourning or respect.
  • Raise the flag back to full mast after the period of mourning or when appropriate.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise, ensuring it is the first flag to be hoisted and clearly visible.
  • Lower the flag at sunset, ensuring it is the last flag to be taken down.
  • Avoid flying the flag in darkness unless it is properly illuminated, as the flag should not be displayed without adequate lighting.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag during severe weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, or storms to prevent damage.
  • In windy conditions, consider using a flag with reinforced edges or taking the flag down to prevent wear and tear.
  • Regularly inspect the flag for signs of weather-related damage and replace it if necessary.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn or damaged beyond repair, retire it with respect.
  • Remove the flag carefully and either properly dispose of it by burning in a dignified manner or replace it according to local customs and regulations.
  • Consider organising a formal retirement ceremony to honour the flag’s service and significance.
