Knitted Polyester Andorra Flag

For lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Andorra Flag, please adhere to the following care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to minimise fading, and avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Protect the flag by placing it in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snags.
   • 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 it. Keep it in a cool, dry place to maintain its condition.
3. Folding the Andorra Flag:
   • Start by spreading the flag out on a clean, flat surface with the front side facing down.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the edges, so the front side is now facing inward.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise once more, creating a long, narrow strip with the front side still facing inward.
   • Begin folding the flag into a triangle from one end, making sure the folds are even and the triangle maintains a neat shape.
   • Continue folding the flag into a compact triangle until you reach the end. Ensure the final triangle is of a manageable size for storage.
   • Smooth out any creases and adjust the folds to keep the flag neatly folded and in good condition.
4. Handling:
   • Protect from Sharp Objects: Ensure the flag is kept away from any sharp edges or surfaces that could potentially cause snags, tears, or damage.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely hoisted and not in contact with any objects that might cause damage.
   • Flag Exposure: Reduce exposure to harsh weather conditions and remove the flag in the evening or during extreme weather.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If you notice any wear or fraying, replace the flag with a spare and take the damaged flag to a professional for repairs.
   • Replacement: When the flag approaches the end of its lifespan, consider ordering a new one to ensure you’re always prepared for celebrations or commemorations.

Flying the Andorra Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is clean and free from creases. Use a flagpole suitable for the flag’s size.
  • Securely attach the flag to the halyard or pole, making sure it is evenly spread and not tangled.
  • Raise the flag briskly and smoothly, ensuring it reaches the top of the pole without touching the ground or getting caught.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Display the flag with the blue stripe on the left, the gold stripe in the middle, and the red stripe on the right when viewed from the front.
  • Ensure the flag is visible and not obstructed by other objects. It should hang freely and be clearly discernible.
  • Avoid placing the flag in a position that could lead to damage or soiling, such as near high-traffic areas or in contact with harsh elements.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole, then lower it to approximately halfway down.
  • Keep the flag at half-mast for the duration of the designated mourning period or as instructed by official guidelines.
  • Raise the flag back to the top of the pole before removing it or at the end of the mourning period.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise, ensuring it is hoisted promptly and correctly to signify the start of the day.
  • Lower the flag at sunset, taking care to lower it slowly and respectfully, ensuring it is not exposed to the elements overnight.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Do not fly the flag during severe weather conditions such as strong winds, heavy rain, or snow, as this can cause damage.
  • If adverse weather is expected, take the flag down to prevent deterioration and store it in a dry place.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • Regularly inspect the flag for signs of wear or damage. When it becomes too worn or tattered, it should be retired respectfully.
  • Dispose of the flag in a dignified manner, such as through a ceremonial burning or by following local guidelines for flag disposal.
  • Order a new flag to ensure you continue to display the national symbol with the respect and quality it deserves.
