Knitted Polyester Cambodia Flag

For long-lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Cambodia flag, please follow these care instructions:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent when washing the flag to prevent fading. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that could harm the colours.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, opt for a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to protect it from snagging.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it up to air dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can shrink or damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place to avoid moisture-related damage.
3. Folding the Cambodia Flag:
   • Step 1: Lay the Flag Flat – Begin by laying the Cambodia flag flat on a clean, smooth surface, ensuring the Angkor Wat emblem is facing upward.
   • Step 2: First Horizontal Fold – Fold the flag lengthwise in half, bringing the bottom stripe up to meet the top stripe. Smooth out any wrinkles to ensure the emblem remains flat.
   • Step 3: Second Horizontal Fold – Fold the flag lengthwise again by bringing the newly formed bottom edge up to meet the top edge. The emblem should now be centred along the edge of the flag.
   • Step 4: First Vertical Fold – Fold the flag vertically, bringing the right side to meet the left side.
   • Step 5: Continue Vertical Folds – Continue folding the flag vertically in small, even sections until the flag is compact. Be sure to keep the Angkor Wat emblem clearly visible and centred on the top of the folded flag.
   • Step 6: Final Adjustment – Gently press the folded flag to remove any creases or unevenness. Ensure the flag is neatly folded with the emblem in full view for proper storage or presentation.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp or rough surfaces that might cause snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely fastened when displayed to avoid unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Take down the flag during severe weather conditions or overnight to extend its lifespan.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, remove the flag and take it to a professional for repair.
   • Replacement: If the flag shows significant signs of wear, consider purchasing a replacement to maintain its best appearance during important events.

Flying the Cambodia Flag:

• Raising the Flag
  • Begin by attaching the flag securely to the flagpole, ensuring the Angkor Wat emblem is facing outward.
  • When raising the flag, do so swiftly and smoothly to its full height, symbolising respect for the nation.
  • Once fully hoisted, ensure the flag is flying free from any obstructions, without tangling or dragging on the ground.
• Displaying the Flag
  • When displayed on a wall or podium, ensure the flag is positioned in such a way that the emblem remains upright and easily visible.
  • If displayed alongside other flags, the Cambodia flag should always be placed in the position of honour, typically higher than other flags or to the viewer’s left when displayed on stage.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast
  • To fly the Cambodia flag at half-mast in times of mourning, first raise it briskly to the top of the flagpole.
  • Then, slowly lower it to a position halfway down the pole. The flag should be lowered in a respectful and deliberate manner.
  • When bringing the flag down at the end of the day, raise it to the top of the pole again before lowering it completely.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
  • The Cambodia flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset. It should never be left flying in darkness unless illuminated by an appropriate light.
  • When lowering the flag at sunset, do so slowly and with reverence, folding it carefully for storage or display until the next day.
• Weather Conditions
  • The flag should not be flown during severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, storms, or strong winds, as these conditions could damage the flag.
  • If adverse weather is expected, take down the flag to preserve its integrity and to avoid disrespect caused by potential damage.
• Retirement of the Flag
  • When the Cambodia flag becomes tattered, faded, or worn out, it should be retired respectfully. Avoid using a damaged flag during important occasions or public displays.
  • The proper way to retire a flag is by incineration in a dignified and private ceremony. This ensures the symbol is respectfully handled when no longer fit for display.

By adhering to these care guidelines, your flag will remain vibrant and in excellent condition for many years. Proper care not only preserves its quality but also honours the pride and heritage it represents.
