Knitted Polyester Sudan Flag

To maintain durability and rich colours, adhere to these care instructions:

1. Cleaning:

   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to clean the flag, avoiding bleach or strong chemicals that may cause fading.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Placing the flag in a mesh laundry bag can help prevent damage.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it up to dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying, as excessive heat may shrink or weaken the fabric.

2. Storage:

   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage or mildew.
3. Folding the Sudan Flag:
   • Lay the flag flat on a clean, dry surface with the red stripe at the top and the green triangle on the hoist side.
   • Fold the flag lengthwise so that the white stripe is layered over the black stripe, ensuring the green triangle remains visible.
   • Fold it lengthwise again, bringing the red stripe over the white, keeping the edges aligned neatly.
   • Begin folding into a rectangle by bringing one end of the flag towards the other, maintaining a straight and smooth fold.
   • Continue folding until the flag is compact and easy to store, ensuring the green triangle remains visible when placed in storage.
   • Store in a dry, cool place to prevent wrinkles and fabric damage, preserving the flag’s vibrant colours and condition.

4. Handling:

   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp edges or abrasive surfaces to prevent snags and tears.
   • Secure Installation: Properly fasten the flag when displaying it to avoid unnecessary strain on the material.
   • Minimise Exposure: Take the flag down during extreme weather conditions or overnight to maintain its longevity.

5. Repairs:

   • Minor Repairs: Address small tears or fraying promptly by seeking professional repairs or replacing the flag when necessary.
   • Replacement: If the flag becomes significantly worn, upgrading to a new one ensures it continues to look its best for important events.

Flying the Sudan Flag:

• Raising the Flag

  • Ensure the flag is attached securely to the halyard or pole before hoisting.
  • Raise the flag briskly and smoothly to the top of the flagpole as a sign of respect.
  • If multiple flags are being raised, the Sudan flag should be hoisted first and positioned highest when displayed alongside other national flags.

• Displaying the Flag

  • The Sudan flag should always be displayed in a position of prominence, especially in official settings or national celebrations.
  • The green triangle should be on the left side, with the red stripe at the top.
  • If displayed alongside other flags, it should be placed in the centre or to the right (from the flag’s perspective) of other national flags.

• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast

  • Lowering the flag to half-mast is a mark of mourning or remembrance.
  • First, raise the flag to the top of the pole briefly before lowering it to the halfway position.
  • When lowering the flag at the end of the day, raise it to the top again before bringing it down fully.

• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset

  • The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset if flown on a standalone flagpole.
  • If flown 24/7, it should be illuminated properly during nighttime to maintain visibility and respect.

• Weather Conditions

  • Avoid flying the flag during extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, storms, or strong winds, as this may cause damage.
  • If the flag gets wet, allow it to dry completely before storage to prevent deterioration.

• Retirement of the Flag

  • When the flag becomes worn, faded, or torn, it should be retired with dignity and replaced with a new one.
  • The recommended method of disposal is burning in a respectful manner or following local flag disposal protocols.
  • Never discard the flag in a regular rubbish bin, as it is a symbol of national pride and heritage.

By following these care and handling tips, your flag will maintain its striking colours and durability, allowing you to proudly display your national heritage for years to come.
