Knitted Polyester Armenia Flag

For lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Armenia flag, please follow these care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Wash Gently: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag to minimise fading. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
   • Drying: Air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it. Avoid tumble drying, 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 Armenia Flag:
   • Lay Flat: Spread the flag out on a flat surface to ensure it is fully extended and free of wrinkles.
   • Fold Lengthwise: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the top and bottom edges neatly.
   • Fold into a Narrow Strip: Continue folding the flag lengthwise into a long, narrow strip, approximately one-third of its original width.
   • Create Triangles: Starting from one end, fold the strip into a triangle shape, ensuring each fold is even and aligns with the previous one. Continue folding in this manner until you reach the end of the strip.
   • Secure the Fold: Tuck any remaining fabric neatly into the final triangular fold to create a compact, neat package.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp items and surfaces that could cause snags, tears, or abrasions.
   • Secure Installation: Make sure the flag is properly hoisted and not caught on anything.
   • Flag Exposure: Reduce the flag’s exposure to harsh weather by removing it during severe conditions or at night.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small damages like fraying or tears, replace the flag with a spare and take the damaged one to a seamstress for professional repair.
   • Replacement: As the flag approaches the end of its lifespan, consider purchasing a new one to ensure you always have a fresh flag for special events.

Flying the Armenia Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flagpole is clean and free of obstructions.
  • Hoist the flag briskly and securely to the top of the flagpole, allowing it to unfurl fully.
  • Make sure the flag is hoisted high and does not touch the ground.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is displayed in a prominent position where it is easily visible.
  • The flag should be hung vertically, with the red stripe at the top, followed by blue and orange.
  • Avoid placing the flag in a location where it could be obscured or damaged.
• 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 halfway down.
  • The flag should be raised back to full height before being taken down.
  • Follow specific local or national guidelines for the duration and occasions when the flag is flown half-mast.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise, ensuring it is fully unfurled and visible.
  • Lower the flag at sunset, folding it properly to prevent any contact with the ground.
  • The flag can be displayed 24 hours a day, but it must be properly illuminated at night.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag during severe weather conditions, including high winds, heavy rain, or snow, as these can cause damage.
  • In adverse weather, take the flag down to protect it and store it in a dry, safe place.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the flag becomes worn or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired respectfully.
  • Dispose of the flag by burning it in a dignified ceremony, in accordance with local customs or regulations.
  • If uncertain, consult with a local authority for proper retirement procedures.

By adhering to these care instructions, you ensure that your flag remains in excellent condition, preserving its vibrant colours and durability. Your flag is a symbol of pride in Armenia, and the care you take reflects the respect you have for your heritage and identity.
