Knitted Polyester Lebanon Flag

To maintain the vibrant colours and lasting quality of your Lebanon flag, please adhere to the following care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent for washing to help prevent fading. Steer clear of bleach or harsh chemicals that could harm the fabric’s colours.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, opt for a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag inside a mesh laundry bag to avoid snagging.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it up to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat may damage or shrink the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage.
3. Folding the Lebanon Flag:
   • Lay the Flag Flat: Begin by placing the Lebanon flag on a clean, flat surface. Make sure the flag is completely unfolded and smooth to prevent any creases.
   • Fold in Half Lengthwise: Bring the bottom edge of the flag up to meet the top edge, creating a long rectangle. Ensure the edges align neatly.
   • Create a Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag in half again lengthwise, bringing the bottom edge up to the top edge once more. This will result in a narrower rectangle.
   • Form a Triangle: Start at one end of the flag and fold the bottom corner diagonally towards the opposite side, forming a triangle shape. This fold should create a triangle that overlaps with the rest of the flag.
   • Continue Folding: Keep folding the triangle over the remaining rectangular portion of the flag. Each fold should be even, maintaining the triangular shape.
   • Tuck to Secure: Once you reach the end of the flag, tuck the remaining fabric into the folds of the triangle to hold it securely in place. This will ensure that the flag stays neatly folded without any loose ends.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Items: Keep the flag away from pointed or abrasive objects that could lead to snags or damage.
   • Secure Attachment: Make certain that the flag is properly secured when on display, which will help avoid undue stress on the material.
   • Limit Exposure: Take down the flag during severe weather conditions or at night to help maintain its quality and longevity.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consider repairing the flag by consulting a professional seamstress.
   • Replacement: If the flag exhibits significant wear, think about purchasing a new one to ensure your display remains impressive during important events.

Flying the Lebanon Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • Ensure the flag is clean and free from creases.
  • Using the Header with Loops: Slide the loops onto the halyard, ensuring each loop is securely attached for stability.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Insert the flag’s pole into the vertical sleeve pocket, ensuring a snug fit.
  • Raise the flag briskly to show respect, allowing it to unfurl completely.
  • Make sure the flag is raised to the top of the pole and hangs straight without any tangles.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • Fly the flag on a pole that is taller than surrounding objects for maximum visibility.
  • If displaying with other flags, position the Lebanon flag at the topmost position or to the right of other national flags on a horizontal flagpole.
  • Ensure the flag does not touch the ground or any surface while displayed.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
  • To fly at half-mast, raise the flag to the top of the pole first and then lower it to the halfway point.
  • This practice signifies mourning and is reserved for appropriate occasions, such as national days of mourning.
  • When lowering the flag from half-mast, raise it back to the top before bringing it down completely to honour the flag’s dignity.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset.
  • If a light illuminates the flag, it may remain displayed overnight; otherwise, it should be taken down before nightfall to show respect.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag during severe weather, including heavy rain, snow, or strong winds, to prevent damage.
  • If bad weather is forecasted, lower the flag and store it in a dry place to protect it from wear and tear.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the Lebanon flag is no longer suitable for display due to fraying or fading, it should be retired respectfully.
  • Consider burning the flag in a dignified manner, ensuring safety and privacy during the process.
  • Alternatively, contact local authorities or veteran organisations for assistance with proper disposal of the flag.

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