Fully Sewn Mozambique Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent when cleaning the flag to maintain its rich colours and fabric. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect the material.
   • Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the fabric or cause it to shrink.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is fully dry before storing to prevent mould or mildew. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or humidity.
3. Folding the Mozambique Flag:
   • Lay the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface, smoothing out any wrinkles or creases.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise from the hoist side (the side with the loops or sleeve) towards the fly side, ensuring the edges align evenly.
   • Fold the flag again lengthwise, bringing the left side over to the right, so the flag is now in quarters, with the design facing inward.
   • Starting at the hoist end, fold the flag into a triangular shape by folding one corner over, and continue folding in a triangle pattern until the flag is compact.
   • Ensure the final fold holds the flag securely in place, with the design inside, ready for safe storage.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp surfaces or objects that may cause snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is firmly attached to poles or ropes to allow it to move freely without strain.
   • Exposure: To extend the life of the flag, remove it during harsh weather or overnight to avoid prolonged exposure to the elements.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If fraying or damage occurs, temporarily replace the flag with a spare and arrange for professional repairs to restore it to its former glory.
   • Replacement: As the flag ages, consider replacing it to ensure your display is always sharp and vibrant for national occasions.

Flying the Mozambique Flag:

• Raising the Flag
  • Ensure the flag is clean and free of any damage before raising it.
  • Secure the flag to the flagpole using the appropriate method (loops or sleeve, depending on the finish).
  • Hoist the flag swiftly, ensuring it reaches the top of the pole with the star and symbols facing the correct direction.
  • Never let the flag touch the ground during raising or lowering, as a sign of respect for what it represents.
• Displaying the Flag
  • When flown outdoors, position the Mozambique flag with the red triangle at the hoist side, the green stripe at the top, and the star, book, hoe, and AK-47 clearly visible.
  • For indoor or wall display, hang the flag with the star at the hoist side, ensuring the design is displayed properly.
  • Always ensure the flag is fully extended and taut to avoid wrinkles or folds.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, raise it to the top briefly before lowering it to the halfway point.
  • Keep the flag at half-mast to observe national mourning or to honour the passing of important figures.
  • To raise the flag back to full height, ensure it is hoisted to the top before being lowered to full-mast.
• Flag Etiquette at Sunrise and Sunset
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset, unless otherwise specified for a special event.
  • If the flag is to be displayed at night, ensure it is adequately lit to maintain visibility and show respect for the national symbol.
  • During the day, the flag should be fully raised by 8 am and lowered at sunset in adherence to flag etiquette.
• Weather Considerations
  • Avoid flying the flag in extreme weather conditions such as heavy winds or rain, as these may damage the fabric.
  • If adverse weather is expected, lower the flag to prevent wear and tear.
  • Secure the flag tightly during gusty winds to protect it from damage.
• Retirement of the Flag
  • When the Mozambique flag is no longer suitable for flying, it should be respectfully retired.
  • Fold the flag and dispose of it properly by burning or burying it ceremoniously to honour its significance.
  • Never discard the flag in a disrespectful manner, such as in a rubbish bin or leaving it on the ground.
