Knitted Polyester Brunei Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag to prevent fading. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that may harm the colours.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent any damage.
   • Air Drying: Allow the flag to air dry by laying it flat or hanging it. Do not tumble dry, as high temperatures can shrink or damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Store the flag in a cool, dry place to avoid any moisture-related damage.
3. Folding the Brunei Flag:
   • Lay Out Flat: Begin by spreading the flag flat on a clean, level surface with the face up to ensure the design is properly aligned.
   • Fold Lengthwise: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the top edge down to meet the bottom edge, and smooth out any wrinkles.
   • Align the Edges: Fold the flag again lengthwise to reduce its width, making sure the edges align neatly and the flag remains flat.
   • Fold into Thirds: Fold the flag in thirds across its width. Start by folding one side towards the centre, then fold the other side over it, so the flag is now a long, narrow strip.
   • Final Neat Fold: Fold the strip in half from end to end, ensuring the flag is compact and the design remains visible and aligned.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp items or rough surfaces that could cause snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly secured when displayed to prevent strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Remove the flag during extreme weather conditions or overnight to maintain its condition.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Damage: For small tears or frayed edges, have the flag repaired by a professional seamstress to restore its condition.
   • Flag Replacement: If the flag exhibits substantial wear or damage, replacing it will ensure it remains in good condition for special events and displays.

Flying the Brunei Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Position the Flag: Attach the flag securely to the flagpole, ensuring that the national crest is oriented correctly and visible.
  • Hoist Slowly: Raise the flag slowly and steadily to the top of the flagpole, allowing it to unfold naturally. Avoid jerking or sudden movements that could damage the fabric.
  • Secure the Flag: Once the flag is fully raised, ensure it is properly secured to prevent it from drifting or becoming tangled.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Correct Orientation: Display the flag with the national crest facing the right direction, ensuring that the flag’s colours and symbols are correctly positioned.
  • Height and Visibility: Position the flag at a height where it is clearly visible and respects the appropriate display standards for public and private locations.
  • Proper Lighting: Ensure the flag is well-lit if displayed at night, using adequate lighting to maintain visibility and respect.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • Initial Positioning: Raise the flag to the top of the flagpole briefly before lowering it to the half-mast position.
  • Half-Mast Placement: Position the flag halfway down the flagpole, ensuring it is centred and evenly aligned. This indicates mourning or respect.
  • Raising and Lowering: When transitioning back to full mast, raise the flag to the top before lowering it to its standard position.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Sunrise: Raise the flag at sunrise to symbolise the start of the day and honour the nation’s emblem.
  • Sunset: Lower the flag at sunset, or ensure it is illuminated if displayed overnight, to preserve its condition and respect national traditions.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid Severe Weather: Remove the flag during severe weather conditions such as storms or high winds to prevent damage.
  • Regular Checks: Inspect the flag regularly for any signs of wear or damage caused by weather conditions, and take appropriate action to address any issues.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • Condition Assessment: When the flag becomes significantly worn, frayed, or damaged, it should be retired respectfully.
  • Disposal Process: Follow local guidelines or national procedures for retiring and disposing of the flag, often involving a dignified and respectful ceremony.

By following these guidelines, your flag will retain its vibrant colours and remain in excellent condition for many years. Caring for your flag not only preserves its appearance but also honours the pride and heritage it represents.
