Fully Sewn Cambodia Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Clean your flag using a mild detergent to maintain its colours and fabric quality. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is needed, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent damage.
   • Drying: Air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high temperatures can shrink or harm the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing to avoid mould or mildew. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the Cambodia Flag:
   • Step 1: Lay the Flag Flat – Place the Cambodia flag flat on a clean, even surface, ensuring that the Angkor Wat emblem is facing upwards.
   • Step 2: First Lengthwise Fold – Fold the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the bottom edge with the top edge. Smooth out any wrinkles to keep the emblem flat.
   • Step 3: Second Lengthwise Fold – Fold the flag in half lengthwise again, bringing the newly formed bottom edge up to meet the top edge. This will centre the emblem along the flag’s edge.
   • Step 4: First Vertical Fold – Fold the flag vertically by bringing the right edge to align with the left edge.
   • Step 5: Additional Vertical Folds – Continue folding the flag vertically into small, even sections until it becomes compact. Ensure the Angkor Wat emblem remains clearly visible and centred.
   • Step 6: Final Adjustments – Smooth out any creases and ensure the flag is neatly folded with the emblem prominently displayed for proper storage or presentation.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Prevent damage by keeping the flag away from sharp or rough surfaces.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely fastened and can move freely when displayed.
   • Flag Exposure: To extend the flag’s life, take it down during severe weather or at night to minimise exposure to harsh conditions.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small frays or wear, replace the flag with a spare and have the damaged flag professionally mended by a seamstress.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows significant wear, consider purchasing a new one to maintain a fresh appearance for important occasions.

Flying the Cambodia Flag:

• Raising the Flag
  • Securely attach the flag to the flagpole, ensuring the Angkor Wat emblem is facing outward.
  • Raise the flag smoothly and swiftly to full height, demonstrating respect for the nation.
  • Once hoisted, check that the flag is free of obstructions, not tangling, and not touching the ground.
• Displaying the Flag
  • When placing the flag on a wall or podium, ensure the emblem is upright and prominently visible.
  • When displayed with other flags, place the Cambodia flag in the position of honour—either higher than other flags or to the viewer’s left if on stage.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it briskly to the top of the pole.
  • Then, lower it slowly to the halfway point, performing this action with respect and deliberation.
  • When lowering the flag, raise it back to the top of the pole before bringing it down completely.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset. It should not remain hoisted in darkness unless properly illuminated.
  • When lowering the flag at sunset, do so with care and reverence, folding it neatly for storage until the next day.
• Weather Conditions
  • Avoid flying the flag during severe weather, including heavy rain, storms, or strong winds, to prevent damage.
  • If adverse weather is anticipated, take down the flag to maintain its condition and show respect.
• Retirement of the Flag
  • When the flag becomes worn, faded, or damaged, retire it respectfully. Do not use a tattered flag for important events or public displays.
  • Retire the flag through a dignified process, such as incineration, in a private ceremony to ensure it is handled with the respect it deserves.
