Fully Sewn Kazakhstan Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag and protect its colour and fabric. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
   • 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 avoid damage.
   • Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can shrink or damage 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 Kazakhstan Flag:
   • Step 1: Start by laying the flag flat on a clean surface, ensuring it is clean and dry, with the blue field and golden sun and eagle emblem facing upwards.
   • Step 2: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the top edge down to align with the bottom edge, while keeping the emblem visible on the outside.
   • Step 3: Fold it in half lengthwise once more, making sure the edges align perfectly to form a long, narrow strip, with the emblem now positioned along the top edge.
   • Step 4: Begin from the fly end (the side opposite the pole) and create a series of accordion folds, folding towards the hoist side. Ensure that each fold is even and tidy.
   • Step 5: Keep folding in this manner until you reach the hoist end, resulting in a compact rectangular shape with the emblem prominently displayed on the outer layer.
   • Step 6: After folding, check that the flag is smooth and secure. Store it in a protective case or a designated storage area to maintain its pristine condition.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects or rough surfaces to prevent snags and tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely fastened and can move freely while displayed.
   • Flag Exposure: To extend the life of the flag, take it down during severe weather or at night to minimise exposure to harsh elements.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If you notice fraying or wear, switch to a spare flag and have the damaged one repaired professionally by a seamstress.
   • Replacement: As the flag nears the end of its lifespan, consider purchasing a new one to ensure you always have a fresh flag for important events.

Flying the Kazakhstan Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Start by checking that the flag is clean and free from any damage.
  • Attaching the Header with Loops: If your flag features a header with loops, pass the halyard through the reinforced loops at the top of the flag to secure it firmly in place.
  • Mounting the Vertical Sleeve: For flags equipped with a vertical sleeve, slide the flag down onto the flagpole to your preferred height. Make sure the flag is properly aligned and able to move freely in the breeze.
  • Gradually hoist the flag to the top of the flagpole with a steady motion, ensuring it does not touch the ground.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Make sure the flag is positioned correctly, with the sun and eagle emblem directed towards the viewer. This guarantees that the flag is displayed with the utmost honour and respect.
  • When displayed alongside other flags, the Kazakhstan flag should be flown at the same height as the other national flags.
  • If presented with state or local flags, position the Kazakhstan flag on the far left from the viewer’s perspective to indicate its national significance.
  • Ensure the flag is fully unfurled and visible, allowing it to wave freely in the wind.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, raise it to the top of the pole first, then lower it to the half-mast position.
  • The flag should be lowered to the midpoint of the flagpole rather than the midpoint of the flag itself.
  • This act is typically performed to commemorate mourning periods or memorials; be sure to adhere to local customs regarding the duration.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise, ensuring it is hoisted swiftly and ceremoniously.
  • Lower the flag at sunset slowly and respectfully, acknowledging its role as a national symbol.
  • If the flag is illuminated overnight, it may remain hoisted, but it should still be taken down at dawn unless it is a special occasion.
• Weather Considerations:
  • Refrain from flying the flag in severe weather conditions, such as high winds, storms, or heavy rain, to avoid damage.
  • If inclement weather is predicted, take the flag down and store it safely until conditions improve.
  • In regions prone to extreme weather, consider using weather-resistant materials for added durability.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn, frayed, or faded beyond repair, it is time for a respectful retirement.
  • The flag should be disposed of in a dignified manner, preferably through burning, in accordance with traditional flag retirement practices.
  • Ensure the retirement is conducted in a ceremony that reflects the flag’s significance, allowing for a respectful farewell.

By following these care instructions, you’ll ensure that your Fully Sewn Kazakhstan Flag remains vibrant, durable, and a symbol of pride for years to come. Proper care reflects the respect you have for your heritage and nation.
