Looking to Buy an Aboriginal Flag?
Whether you're after a high-impact fully sewn version or a durable woven polyester flag for everyday use, we offer two premium options proudly made in Australia:
To maintain the longevity and vibrant appearance of your product, please follow the care guidelines below:
Cleaning:
Hand Wash: Gently hand wash using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals that may cause discolouration or damage.
Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, use a cold water gentle cycle. Place the flag inside a mesh laundry bag to avoid snagging.
Drying: Always air dry. Lay flat or hang to dry in a shaded area. Avoid tumble drying, as heat may shrink or weaken the fabric.
Storage:
Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight or moisture to prevent mould and fading.
Proper Folding:
Start folding from the end opposite the top-left corner (canton).
Fold one corner into a triangle along the top edge.
Continue making triangular folds over the length of the flag.
Alternatively, fold the flag lengthwise twice, then concertina fold toward the hoist edge.
Secure by tying with a ribbon or wrapping with the halyard to protect the shape.
Handling:
Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp surfaces and edges that can cause tears or snags.
Secure Installation: Always install your flag securely and ensure it is free to fly without obstruction.
Weather Exposure: Take down the flag during extreme wind, rain, or storms to prevent unnecessary wear.
Repairs:
Minor Damage: For small tears or frayed seams, remove the flag and have it professionally repaired or replaced.
Timely Replacement: If the flag is significantly worn or faded, consider replacing it with a new one to ensure continued respectful display.
Flying the Aboriginal Flag:
Correct Positioning: The black panel should always be on top. Never fly the flag upside down.
Respectful Hoisting: Raise the flag briskly and lower it with dignity. It should never touch the ground or water.
Time of Display: Fly during daylight hours, or illuminate the flag if flown at night.
Multiple Flags: When flown with other flags, the Aboriginal Flag should be on its own pole, equal in height. It must not be flown below another flag.
Half-Mast Protocol: Raise to the top, then lower halfway. When removing, raise to the top briefly before fully lowering.
Weather Awareness: Bring the flag indoors during severe weather. If wet, let it dry fully before storing.
Ceremonial Use: During cultural events or ceremonies, handle the flag with care and reverence.
Flag Retirement: When a flag is no longer in suitable condition, dispose of it respectfully. You may cut it into unrecognisable pieces or recycle it through a fabric recycling service.
By following these care and display guidelines, you’ll preserve the quality and symbolic meaning of your Aboriginal Flag. Maintaining the flag with care reflects your pride, cultural respect, and the significance this symbol holds.
