Fully Sewn Iran Flag

To ensure the longevity and vibrant appearance of your Iran flag, please adhere to the following care instructions:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, as this helps maintain its colours and fabric integrity. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that could cause fading.
   • Machine Wash: If you need to machine wash, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag and select a gentle cycle with cold water to minimise potential damage.
   • Drying: Air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it up. Avoid tumble drying, as high temperatures can shrink or harm the material.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Make sure the flag is completely dry before storing it to prevent mould or mildew. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the Iran Flag:
   • Position the Flag: Begin by laying the flag on a clean, flat surface with the front side facing down. Ensure there are no wrinkles or creases for a smooth fold.
   • First Lengthwise Fold: Fold the right side of the flag over to align with the left side, creating a long, narrow rectangle. Make sure the edges are even and the colours are aligned correctly.
   • Press the Fold: Firmly press down along the crease to create a sharp fold that retains its shape.
   • Second Lengthwise Fold: Take the newly formed rectangle and fold it in half again lengthwise, bringing the top edge down to meet the bottom edge. This will decrease the width of the flag while keeping the design intact.
   • Form Triangles: Starting from the open end of the folded flag, take the bottom corner and fold it diagonally towards the top edge to create a triangle. This initiates the traditional folding technique.
   • Continue Triangle Folds: Repeat the triangle folding, moving along the length of the flag until you reach the closed end. Each fold should form a triangle that overlaps the previous one.
   • Secure the Final Fold: Once you reach the top, tuck the remaining fabric inside the last triangle to secure all folds and prevent them from coming undone.
   • Store Properly: Place the folded flag in a protective storage bag or box to preserve its condition and avoid any creasing.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp items or rough surfaces to prevent snags and tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure that the flag is firmly attached and can move freely while displayed.
   • Flag Exposure: To extend the lifespan of the flag, consider taking it down during extreme weather or at night to reduce exposure to harsh conditions.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If you notice fraying or wear, replace the flag with a spare and have the damaged flag professionally repaired by a seamstress.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows signs of significant wear, consider purchasing a new one to ensure you always have a vibrant flag ready for important occasions.

Flying the Iran Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flagpole is clean and free from any obstructions.
  • Grip the flag by the header with loops or the vertical sleeve, making sure it doesn’t touch the ground.
  • Gradually hoist the flag to the top of the pole while ensuring it remains untangled.
  • Secure the flag using suitable clips or fasteners to keep it firmly in place against the wind.
• Positioning the Flag:
  • The flag should be prominently displayed to ensure visibility from a distance.
  • The flag must be raised with the green section positioned at the top, followed by the white, and the red section at the bottom. When displayed, the emblem in the centre should always face forward and remain upright, whether hung vertically or horizontally.
  • When displayed with other flags, the Iran flag should be positioned to the viewer’s left or centred among the group.
  • Ensure the flag is hung in a way that allows for full visibility, without any obstructions from nearby objects or structures.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  • To display the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole before lowering it to the halfway point.
  • This practice is reserved for commemorating significant events, such as periods of national mourning.
  • After the mourning period, return the flag to the top before lowering it for the day.
• Flag Etiquette for Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
  • When hoisting the flag in the morning, it should be done respectfully, often accompanied by a salute or the national anthem.
  • If illuminated at night, the flag may remain displayed; however, if not lit, it should be lowered at dusk.
• Weather Considerations:
  • Refrain from flying the flag during severe weather conditions, such as high winds, rainstorms, or snow, as these can damage the fabric.
  • If adverse weather develops unexpectedly, lower the flag promptly to prevent it from becoming worn or damaged.
  • In windy conditions, consider using flags specifically designed to endure harsh weather, ensuring durability and longevity.
• Retiring the Flag:
  • When the flag is tattered, worn, or no longer represents the nation with dignity, it should be retired with respect.
  • The respectful retirement process often involves burning the flag in a dignified manner, ensuring it is done privately.
  • Alternatively, seek guidance from local authorities or veteran organisations on appropriate flag disposal methods that honour its significance.
