Knitted Polyester Palestine Flag

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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Wash the flag using a mild detergent to prevent colour fading. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they can damage the fabric and colours.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. To avoid potential damage, place the flag in a mesh laundry bag.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it up to air dry. Do not use a tumble dryer, as the high heat can cause the fabric to shrink or become damaged.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry area away from moisture to prevent damage.
3. Folding the Palestine Flag:
   • Lay the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface with the front facing up.
   • Fold the flag lengthwise in half, aligning the left and right edges so that the design is still visible on the outside.
   • Fold it in half again lengthwise, bringing the two longer edges together to create a narrower strip.
   • Fold the flag into thirds by folding one end towards the centre and then folding the other end over it, ensuring each section is even and neat.
   • For storage or display, fold the flag once more into a compact size, making sure it is tightly secured and free of creases.
   • Ensure that the folds are crisp and aligned to maintain the flag’s shape and integrity when stored.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from anything sharp or rough that could cause snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly attached when flying to prevent undue stress on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Bring the flag down during extreme weather conditions or overnight to help maintain its condition.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, patch up the area or take it to a professional seamstress for repairs.
   • Replacement: When the flag shows significant signs of wear and tear, consider purchasing a new one to maintain its appearance, especially during important events.

Flying the Palestine Flag:

• Raising the Flag
  • Begin by ensuring the flag is clean and in good condition before raising it.
  • Secure the flag to the flagpole using the header with loops or the vertical sleeve, ensuring it is properly attached to prevent any movement or damage.
  • Raise the flag slowly and with respect, hoisting it to the top of the flagpole to show pride and honour. Do not let it touch the ground during this process.
• Displaying the Flag
  • Display the flag in a location where it can be seen clearly and is not obstructed by trees, buildings, or other structures.
  • The flag should be flown with the design facing outwards so that it is visible to passers-by.
  • Ensure that the flag is properly aligned and not wrinkled or tangled when flown.
• Flying the Flag Half-Mast
  • To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole for a moment before lowering it to the halfway point.
  • When the period of mourning is over, raise the flag back to full height in the same manner, symbolising a return to normalcy.
  • Always follow official guidelines or national observances when flying the flag at half-mast.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset, unless illuminated by a light during night-time hours.
  • Ensure the flag is not flown in darkness without proper lighting, as this may be considered disrespectful.
  • When lowered at sunset, handle the flag with care to avoid any contact with the ground or damage.
• Weather Conditions
  • Avoid flying the flag during severe weather conditions, such as heavy rain, strong winds, or storms, as this can cause damage to the fabric.
  • If extreme weather is forecasted, take the flag down or move it to a protected area to maintain its quality and extend its lifespan.
• Retirement of the Flag
  • When a flag is no longer in good condition and has become frayed, torn, or discoloured, it should be retired respectfully.
  • To retire the flag, fold it neatly and consider a ceremonial burning as a way to honour its service. Ensure this is done in a safe, controlled environment.
  • Alternatively, contact a local community group or organisation that can handle flag retirements in a respectful and environmentally conscious manner.

By following these guidelines, your flag will maintain its vivid colours and remain in excellent condition for years to come. Proper care of your flag is not only about its preservation but also about honouring the pride and heritage it represents.
