Knitted Polyester Liechtenstein Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to preserve the flag’s colours. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can cause fading or fabric damage.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, opt for a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent any damage or snagging.
   • Air Drying: Always air dry the flag by laying it flat or hanging it up. Avoid tumble drying, as the heat can shrink or harm the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Make sure the flag is fully dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from moisture, to prevent mould or mildew.
3. Folding the Liechtenstein Flag:
   • Begin by holding the flag with both hands, ensuring the gold crown is facing outward.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the bottom edge up to meet the top edge, making sure the flag remains smooth and wrinkle-free.
   • Once folded, fold it in half again from left to right, with the gold crown on the outside, ensuring that the flag’s proportions are kept neat.
   • Proceed by folding the flag into thirds, making the flag easier to manage and store. Start with folding one side over, then fold the opposite side over to meet it.
   • Continue folding the flag, ensuring that each fold is uniform and compact. The result should be a neat, rectangular shape.
   • For storage, place the folded flag in a dry and safe location, avoiding any heavy pressure that might crease or damage the fabric.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects or rough surfaces to prevent snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely fastened when displayed to avoid any unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Remove the flag during extreme weather conditions or overnight to preserve its quality and appearance.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consider having the flag professionally repaired by a seamstress.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows significant signs of wear, it may be time to purchase a replacement to maintain a clean and dignified appearance.

Flying the Liechtenstein Flag:

• Raising the Flag
  • Using the Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops to the flagpole or rope using sister clips. Ensure that the clips are securely fastened and the flag hangs straight and flat as it is raised.
  • Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flag’s vertical sleeve over the pole. Ensure that the sleeve is snug around the pole and that the flag is hanging properly, with the crown at the top. Once in place, raise the flag smoothly to the top of the pole.
  • Raise the flag briskly, allowing it to unfurl fully without any sagging. Ensure that the flag is raised to the top of the pole for full display.
• Displaying the Flag
  • When the Liechtenstein flag is displayed on a flagpole, it should be hoisted with the blue field at the top, and the golden crown clearly visible.
  • The flag should be allowed to fly freely, with no obstructions around it that could cause the fabric to become damaged.
  • If displayed with other flags, the Liechtenstein flag should be flown at the same height as the others, or if on a separate flagpole, it should be at the highest position.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast
  • To fly the Liechtenstein flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole and then lower it to the halfway point.
  • This is typically done to honour a national or global event, such as the passing of a prominent leader.
  • Ensure that the flag is raised to the top again before being lowered at the end of the day, or as instructed by the relevant authorities.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise, ensuring it is unfurled and fully visible by the time the sun rises.
  • At sunset, the flag should be lowered, neatly folded, and stored until it is ready to be displayed again the following day.
  • In cases of continuous display, such as for indoor flags, the flag should be lit appropriately if displayed overnight.
• Weather Conditions
  • In adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, or snow, it is advisable to bring the flag down to protect it from damage.
  • Flags made from knitted polyester, such as the Liechtenstein flag, are durable, but extreme weather can cause wear and tear over time.
  • During calm weather, the flag can fly for extended periods without concern, but take extra care when there are forecasted storms or high winds.
• Retirement of the Flag
  • When the flag shows significant wear, such as fraying edges or fading colours, it is time to retire it.
  • The retirement of the flag should be done respectfully. Ideally, the flag should be cut into smaller pieces and disposed of, or ceremoniously burned in a dignified manner, in line with traditional flag retirement practices.
  • Never allow a worn-out flag to be used as a decorative item or to be discarded in an undignified manner.

By following these simple care instructions, your Liechtenstein flag will remain vibrant and in excellent condition for years to come. Taking the time to properly care for your flag ensures its lasting beauty and honours the heritage it represents.
