Knitted Polyester Angola Flag

For enduring quality and vibrant colours of the Angola flag, please follow these care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to prevent fading. Avoid bleach or similar products.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to avoid snags.
   • Drying: Air dry by laying flat or hanging. Do not use a tumble dryer as high heat can shrink and damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place.
3. Folding the Angola Flag:
   • Prepare the Flag: Lay the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface, ensuring it is free from dirt and wrinkles.
   • Align the Edges: Fold the flag lengthwise in half, bringing the two edges together so they align neatly.
   • Fold Lengthwise Again: Fold the flag in half lengthwise once more, keeping the edges aligned.
   • Form a Triangle: Starting from the hoist (left) side, fold the flag diagonally into a triangle shape, working across the width. Continue folding in this triangular pattern until the flag is compactly folded.
   • Final Tuck: Once the flag is folded into a triangle, tuck any excess fabric into the folds to secure it, making sure the emblem remains visible and well-presented.
4. Handling:
   • Protect from Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects that might cause snags, tears, or abrasions.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly hoisted and free of obstructions.
   • Flag Exposure: Minimise exposure to harsh weather by taking the flag down during extreme conditions or in the evening.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, replace the flag with a spare and consult a seamstress for repairs.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows signs of wear, consider ordering a new one to ensure you have a fresh flag for future events.

Flying the Angola Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Attach the flag securely to the flagpole, ensuring it is evenly distributed and not twisted.
  • Raise the flag slowly and steadily, making sure it is fully unfurled and not caught on any part of the pole or rigging.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is flown with the emblem facing outward and positioned in a place of honour, preferably in a central or elevated position.
  • If flying multiple flags, place the Angola flag in the centre or at the highest point, ensuring it is given prominence over other flags.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole and then lower it to a position approximately halfway between the top and bottom of the pole.
  • Ensure the flag remains in this position for the duration of the period of mourning or as prescribed by protocol.
  • After the period of mourning, raise the flag back to the top before lowering it completely.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset, adhering to the times of day as a mark of respect.
  • Ensure the flag is fully raised to the top of the pole at sunrise and completely lowered at sunset to maintain proper etiquette.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag during severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, or storms, as these can damage the fabric.
  • In adverse weather, take the flag down promptly and store it in a dry, safe place until conditions improve.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn, faded, or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired respectfully.
  • Arrange for the flag to be disposed of in a dignified manner, often through burning in a ceremonial way or by following local regulations for flag retirement.
  • Ensure that the retirement process respects the flag’s symbolism and heritage.

By adhering to these care instructions, you’ll maintain your Angola flag’s vibrant colours and durability, reflecting your respect for Angola’s heritage and your pride in its symbol.
