Knitted Polyester Abkhazia Flag

For lasting quality and vibrant colours, kindly adhere to the following care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, avoiding bleach or harsh chemicals to prevent fading.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is required, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to avoid snags.
   • Drying: Air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it up. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can cause shrinkage and damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep it in a cool, dry place to maintain its condition.
3. Folding the Abkhazia Flag:
   • Place the flag on a clean, flat surface with the design facing up.
   •  Fold the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the edges precisely.
   • Fold the flag in half once more along the same lengthwise direction, ensuring the edges are neatly aligned.
   • Starting from the end with the canton, fold the flag into a rectangular shape by folding it towards the opposite end. Make each fold as even as possible to maintain a uniform appearance.
   • Continue folding the flag into a compact rectangle, smoothing out any creases as you go to ensure a neat, flat shape.
   • Adjust the folds to ensure the flag remains tidy and maintains its intended dimensions, making it easy to store or display.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects and rough surfaces to prevent snags, tears, or abrasions.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely mounted and free from obstruction when displayed.
   • Flag Exposure: Minimise exposure to harsh weather conditions by removing the flag in the evening or during extreme weather.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For any wear, tear, or fraying, replace the flag with a spare and seek professional repair from a seamstress.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows signs of significant wear, consider ordering a new one to ensure you always have a fresh, vibrant flag for future events.

Flying the Abkhazia Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flagpole is properly installed and in good condition.
  • Attach the flag securely to the halyard or the flagpole using the appropriate mounting method (loops, clips, or sleeve).
  • Raise the flag smoothly and steadily, ensuring it does not touch the ground or get tangled.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Position the flag so that the canton is in the top left corner when viewed from the front.
  • Ensure the flag is fully unfurled and not obstructed by other objects or surfaces.
  • The flag should be hoisted high and prominently, allowing it to fly freely and clearly.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To lower the flag to half-mast, raise it to the peak for a moment and then lower it to a position midway between the top and bottom of the pole.
  • Ensure the flag remains level and does not touch the ground.
  • Raise the flag back to full mast at the end of the period of mourning or tribute.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise, ensuring it is hoisted smoothly and securely.
  • Lower the flag at sunset, taking care to lower it gently and avoid letting it touch the ground.
  • If the flag is displayed at night, ensure it is illuminated by appropriate lighting to maintain visibility.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag during severe weather conditions such as storms, high winds, or heavy rain to prevent damage.
  • In extreme weather, take down the flag to protect it and ensure its longevity.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired respectfully.
  • Follow local guidelines or protocols for flag retirement, which often involve retiring the flag through a ceremonial burning or other respectful means.
  • Replace the flag with a new one to maintain its display and honour its significance.
