For Lasting Quality and Vibrant Colours

1. Cleaning
   • Gentle Washing: Wash with a mild detergent to help preserve the fabric and colours. Avoid bleach or harsh cleaning products.
   • Machine Washing: If machine washing is required, use cold water on a gentle cycle and place the flag inside a mesh laundry bag for protection.
   • Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as excessive heat may damage the fabric.
2. Storage
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dry location to help prevent mildew and fabric deterioration.
3. Folding the Afghanistan Flag
   • Lay the flag flat on a clean surface with the emblem and colours facing upwards and the black stripe positioned on the left.
   • Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the bottom edge up to the top edge while keeping the emblem visible.
   • Fold lengthwise again, aligning the edges neatly.
   • Starting from the fly end, fold the flag crosswise toward the hoist side in neat sections.
   • Continue folding until the flag forms a compact rectangle.
   • Take care to ensure the flag does not touch the ground during folding.
4. Handling
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp surfaces that may cause tears, snags or abrasions.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly attached before display to minimise unnecessary strain on the fabric.
   • Weather Exposure: Reduce prolonged exposure to severe weather conditions by removing the flag during storms, strong winds or extended periods of harsh weather.
5. Repairs & Replacement
   • Minor Repairs: If small tears or fraying occur, remove the flag from service and seek professional repair where appropriate.
   • Replacement: When the flag becomes noticeably worn or faded, replace it to maintain a professional and respectful presentation.

Flying the Afghanistan Flag

• Raising the Flag
  • Raise the flag briskly and respectfully, ensuring it does not touch the ground.
  • Position the black stripe at the hoist side, followed by the red and green stripes.
• Displaying the Flag
  • Display the Afghanistan flag in a prominent position when used at events, organisations, schools or public venues.
  • When displayed with other national flags, ensure equal prominence and respectful positioning.
• Flying at Half-Mast
  • Raise the flag to the top of the pole before lowering it to the half-mast position.
  • This practice is generally reserved for periods of mourning or remembrance.
• Sunrise and Sunset Etiquette
  • Traditionally, flags are raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
  • If flown at night, appropriate illumination is recommended.
• Weather Conditions
  • Remove the flag during extreme weather conditions to help maximise its lifespan.
  • If the flag becomes wet, allow it to dry fully before storage or re-use.
• Retirement of the Flag
  • When the flag becomes worn beyond repair, retire it respectfully according to local customs and practices.
