Knitted Polyester Algeria Flag

For lasting quality and vibrant colours of your Algeria Flag, kindly adhere to the following care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to minimise fading and avoid bleach or similar products.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is required, select a gentle cycle with cold water and place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
   • Drying: Air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it up. Do not use a tumble dryer, as high heat can cause shrinkage and damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
3. Folding the Algeria Flag:
   • Position the Algeria flag horizontally on a clean surface, with the green section on your right.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the green and white sections evenly.
   •  Fold the flag in half lengthwise a second time, keeping the green on top and ensuring the star and crescent remain visible.
   • Starting from the fly end (opposite the flagpole), fold one corner of the flag upwards towards the open edge, forming a triangle.
   • Continue making triangular folds from the fly end towards the hoist end (flagpole side), keeping the edges aligned.
   • Once you reach the hoist end, tuck in any remaining fabric to secure it, ensuring the star and crescent are properly displayed.
   • The folded flag should be neatly arranged into a compact triangle, with no loose ends. The green and white sections should be evenly aligned, reflecting the care and respect due to the national symbol.
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 properly hoisted and free from obstructions.
   • Flag Exposure: Minimise exposure to the elements by taking down the flag during adverse weather conditions or at night.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, replace the flag with a spare and take the damaged one to a seamstress for professional repair.
   • Replacement: As the flag nears the end of its life cycle, consider ordering a new one to ensure a fresh, vibrant flag for future use.

Flying the Algeria Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is securely attached to the halyard using knots or clips.
  • Hoist the flag smoothly and steadily to the top of the pole, making sure it unfolds without catching or tangling.
  • Verify that the green side, featuring the crescent and star, is facing outward and visible to all.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Display the Algeria flag with the green stripe on the observer’s left.
  • When positioned with other flags, the Algeria flag should hold a place of honour, ideally at the same height as other national flags and to the left of all other flags on the pole.
  • Ensure the flag is never shown upside down or allowed to touch the ground.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the peak briefly, then lower it to a halfway position on the flagpole.
  • This practice is commonly used during periods of national mourning or significant solemn events.
  • Before removing the flag from half-mast, raise it back to the top of the pole.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The Algeria flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
  • If the flag is displayed after dark, it must be properly illuminated.
  • Avoid leaving the flag flying in darkness unless it is adequately lit to honour its significance.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Refrain from flying the flag in severe weather conditions like heavy rain, strong winds, or snow, as these can damage the fabric and reduce its lifespan.
  • If the flag is made from weather-resistant material, it may be displayed in adverse conditions, but should be regularly inspected for signs of wear and tear.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn, faded, or irreparably damaged, it should be retired with respect.
  • Carefully take down the flag, fold it neatly, and store it in a clean, dry location until it can be properly disposed of.
  • For disposal, consider a respectful burning ceremony or other appropriate methods in line with local customs or regulations to honour the flag’s symbolism.
