For lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Seychelles flag, please follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning:
Gentle Washing: Always use a mild detergent to clean the flag and minimise fading. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals that could damage the 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 prevent any damage or snags.
Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it up to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can shrink or damage the fabric.
Storage:
Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep it in a cool, dry, and secure location to prevent moisture damage.
Folding the Seychelles Flag:
Lay the flag flat on a clean surface, ensuring the fabric is smooth and free of wrinkles.
Begin by folding the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the top and bottom edges.
Next, fold the flag in half again lengthwise, keeping the design visible and ensuring the fabric remains smooth.
Carefully fold the flag into a rectangular shape by folding it into thirds, starting from the bottom and working upwards.
Make sure the folds are neat and even, maintaining the flag's shape and integrity.
If storing for an extended period, fold the flag gently to avoid creating permanent creases or damaging the fabric.
Handling:
Avoid Sharp Objects: Ensure the flag is kept away from any sharp edges or abrasive surfaces that could result in snags or tears.
Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is firmly fastened when displayed to prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
Minimise Exposure: Remove the flag during extreme weather or overnight to preserve its condition.
Repairs:
Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, take the flag to a professional seamstress for repairs. Alternatively, replace the flag if necessary.
Replacement: When the flag shows significant wear, it’s best to purchase a new one to maintain its appearance during special occasions.
Flying the Seychelles Flag:
Raising the Flag
Using the Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops at the top of the flag to the halyard or flagpole, ensuring the flag is securely fastened before raising it.
Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flag’s side pocket (vertical sleeve) onto the flagpole, ensuring it fits snugly around the pole. Once in place, raise the flag smoothly to the top.
Raise the Seychelles flag briskly and smoothly to the top of the pole, ensuring it flies freely without any obstruction. This shows respect for the flag and its symbolism.
Displaying the Flag
The Seychelles flag should always be displayed with the design facing outward, ensuring it is visible from all angles.
When displayed alongside other flags, the Seychelles flag should occupy the position of honour, typically on the far left from the observer's view or centre if flown at the same height.
Indoors, place the flag in a prominent position, such as on the right side of the speaker or stage, signifying respect and prominence.
Flying the Flag Half-Mast
To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole before lowering it to the halfway point.
Ensure the flag is not so low that it touches the ground or obstructs visibility.
At the end of the day or when the mourning period ends, raise the flag to the top of the pole before lowering it completely.
Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
The Seychelles flag should be flown from sunrise to sunset, unless illuminated during the night.
If the flag is flown at night, ensure it is adequately lit, using focused lighting to enhance its visibility while avoiding shadows that obscure the design.
Weather Conditions
It is recommended to take down the flag during severe weather conditions, such as strong winds, heavy rain, or storms, to avoid damage to the fabric.
If the weather turns unexpectedly, lower the flag promptly and store it in a dry, safe place to preserve its condition.
Retirement of the Flag
When the Seychelles flag becomes worn or damaged beyond repair, retire it respectfully.
Fold the flag neatly and dispose of it through appropriate channels, such as a flag disposal program or ceremonial burning, in accordance with local customs.
By following these guidelines, your flag will retain its vibrant colours and remain in top condition for many years. Taking care of your flag is not just about preservation but also about honouring the pride and heritage it represents.
