Fully Sewn Lebanon Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, preserving its vibrant colours and fabric integrity. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is needed, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag and select a gentle cycle with cold water to prevent any damage.
   • Drying: Allow the flag to air dry by laying it flat or hanging it up. Do not tumble dry, as high temperatures can cause shrinkage or harm to the material.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing to avoid mould or mildew. Keep it in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the Lebanon Flag:
   • Position the Flag: Start by laying the Lebanon flag on a clean, flat surface. Ensure it is fully opened and smooth to avoid any creases.
   • First Lengthwise Fold: Bring the bottom edge of the flag up to meet the top edge, forming a long rectangle. Make sure the edges align properly.
   • Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag in half again along the length, bringing the bottom edge to the top edge once more to create a narrower rectangle.
   • Create a Triangle Shape: At one end of the flag, fold the bottom corner diagonally towards the opposite side, forming a triangular shape that overlaps with the flag’s body.
   • Continue with Triangle Folds: Continue folding the triangle over the remaining rectangular section of the flag. Each fold should be even to maintain the triangle’s shape.
   • Secure the Fold: When you reach the end of the flag, tuck the excess fabric into the folds of the triangle to secure it in place. This ensures the flag remains neatly folded with no loose ends.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Ensure that the flag is not placed near sharp items or rough surfaces to avoid any snags or damage.
   • Secure Installation: Make sure the flag is firmly attached and can move without obstruction while on display.
   • Limit Exposure: To extend the lifespan of the flag, remove it during severe weather conditions or at night to reduce its exposure to harsh elements.
5. Repairs:
   • Small Repairs: If you observe any fraying or damage, replace the flag with a backup and arrange for the damaged one to be repaired by a professional seamstress.
   • Flag Replacement: When the flag shows signs of significant wear, think about acquiring a new one to ensure you always have a pristine flag available for important occasions.

Flying the Lebanon Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is clean and free of creases before attaching it.
  • Attaching the Header with Loops: Thread the loops onto the halyard, making sure each one is firmly secured for optimal stability.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Place the flag pole into the vertical sleeve pocket, ensuring it fits snugly for a secure hold.
  • Raise the flag swiftly to display it properly, allowing it to fully unfurl.
  • Ensure the flag reaches the top of the pole and hangs straight without any twists or tangles.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Mount the flag on a pole that is higher than surrounding objects for optimal visibility.
  • When displaying alongside other flags, position the Lebanon flag at the top or to the right of other national flags on a horizontal flagpole.
  • Make sure the flag does not come into contact with the ground or any surface while it is being displayed.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole and then lower it to the halfway mark.
  • This gesture represents mourning and is appropriate for specific occasions, such as national days of remembrance.
  • When bringing down the flag from half-mast, raise it back to the top first to honour its dignity before lowering it completely.
• Flag Etiquette at Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset.
  • If the flag is illuminated at night, it may remain displayed; otherwise, it should be taken down before dusk to show respect.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid displaying the flag during severe weather, including heavy rain, snow, or high winds, to prevent damage.
  • If bad weather is predicted, lower the flag and store it in a dry location to protect it from deterioration.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the Lebanon flag is no longer suitable for display due to wear or fading, it should be retired with dignity.
  • Consider burning the flag respectfully in a safe and private setting.
  • Alternatively, reach out to local authorities or veteran organisations for guidance on proper flag disposal.
