Fully Sewn Pakistan Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag and maintain its colour and fabric integrity. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals to prevent damage.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is needed, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag and use a gentle cycle with cold water to protect it.
   • Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to dry naturally. Do not use a tumble dryer, as high heat may damage or shrink the material.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is thoroughly dry before storing to avoid mould and mildew. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the Pakistan Flag:
   • Lay the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface with the white crescent and star facing upwards.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the long edges together and aligning them precisely.
   • Smooth out any wrinkles to ensure the fabric is even and tidy.
   • Fold the flag lengthwise again, matching the edges to create a narrower form.
   • Fold the bottom edge up to meet the top edge, forming a long, compact strip.
   • Begin the traditional triangular fold by folding one end diagonally to create a triangle shape. Continue folding in triangles until the flag is folded into a compact, triangular form, displaying the star and crescent prominently.
   • Make sure each fold is secure and even to keep the flag neatly stored and maintain its respectful appearance.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp items or rough surfaces to avoid snags and tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly attached and can move freely in the breeze.
   • Flag Exposure: To extend the lifespan of the flag, take it down during severe weather conditions or at night to minimise exposure to harsh elements.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small frays or wear, switch out the flag with a spare and have the damaged one repaired professionally by an experienced seamstress.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows significant signs of wear, consider ordering a new one to keep your display fresh and vibrant for special occasions.

Flying the Pakistan Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flagpole is solidly positioned and secure.
  • Header with Loops: When using a header with loops, attach the loops to the halyard or rope, making sure they are spaced evenly to prevent unnecessary stress on the fabric.
  • Vertical Sleeve: For flags featuring a vertical sleeve, insert the pole through the sleeve until the flag is fully extended and properly aligned. Ensure the pole is firmly secured to minimise movement and potential damage.
  • Lift the flag slowly and steadily, ensuring it does not touch the ground. Raise it briskly to show respect and national pride.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • The flag should always be flown with the the star and crescent displayed upright.
  • Make sure the flag is fully unfurled and smooth, highlighting its design with honour and dignity.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  • To show respect during periods of mourning or national grief, fly the flag at half-mast. Begin by raising it to the peak for a moment before lowering it halfway down the pole.
  • When mourning concludes, raise the flag to full height to signify the return to normalcy.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset, following proper protocol. If illuminated by lights, the flag can remain displayed overnight.
  • Ensure that the flag is raised and lowered with care and respect to maintain its condition and avoid damage.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Do not fly the flag in harsh weather, such as heavy rain, strong winds, or storms, as this can damage the fabric and shorten its lifespan.
  • If weather conditions are adverse, take the flag down and store it in a dry, safe location to protect it.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn or damaged beyond repair, retire it in a respectful manner. The recommended method is to burn the flag in a dignified way, ensuring privacy and respect during the process.
  • Consult local authorities or flag organisations for guidance on the appropriate retirement procedure in line with national traditions.

By following these care instructions, you’ll ensure that your flag remains vibrant, durable, and a true representation of your heritage for many years. Proper care demonstrates the respect and pride you have for your nation.
