Motto: "Unidad, Paz, Justicia" meaning "Unity, Peace, Justice," encapsulates the country's national values.

To ensure the lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Equatorial Guinea flag, please adhere to the following care instructions:
Cleaning:
Gentle Washing: Always clean the flag using a mild detergent to reduce the risk of fading. Steer clear of bleach or harsh chemicals that could harm the colours.
Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, opt for a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to avoid snagging.
Air Drying: Allow the flag to lay flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can shrink or damage the fabric.
Storage:
Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep the flag in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage.
Folding the Equatorial Guinea Flag:
Prepare the Flag: Start by laying the flag flat on a clean, smooth surface, ensuring it is free from dirt or debris.
Align the Flag: Position the flag so that the coat of arms is facing up and the hoist side (the side with the loops or sleeve) is on your left.
First Fold Lengthwise: Take the bottom edge of the flag and fold it upwards to meet the top edge, creating a long rectangle. Ensure the edges are aligned and smooth out any wrinkles.
Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold the rectangle in half again by bringing the newly created top edge down to meet the bottom edge. This will create a narrower strip of the flag.
Create Triangular Folds: Starting at the fly end (the end opposite the hoist), fold the top right corner diagonally down towards the centre of the flag, forming a triangle. Next, take the resulting triangular flap and fold it back over towards the left, creating a second triangle. Continue this process, alternating sides, until you reach the hoist end of the flag.
Final Adjustment: Once the flag is fully folded into triangles, tuck the remaining fabric securely into the last fold to keep the shape intact.
Handling:
Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp items or rough surfaces that could cause snags or tears.
Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is properly secured when displayed to prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
Minimise Exposure: Take the flag down during severe weather conditions or overnight to help maintain its condition.
Repairs:
Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consider replacing the flag and taking the damaged one to a professional seamstress for mending.
Replacement: If the flag shows significant wear, think about purchasing a new one to keep its appearance fresh during important events.
Flying the Equatorial Guinea Flag:
Raising the Flag:
Begin by ensuring that the flagpole is clean and free from debris.
Unfurl the Equatorial Guinea flag and check for any damage before raising it.
If your flag features a header with loops, slide the loops onto the halyard. Ensure that the flag is evenly spaced and securely attached before raising it.
For flags with a vertical sleeve, slide the flag down onto the pole until it rests securely at the bottom. Ensure the sleeve fits snugly around the pole for proper display.
Raise the flag briskly to the top of the pole while ensuring that it does not touch the ground, symbolising respect and honour for the nation.
Displaying the Flag:
Ensure that the blue triangle is oriented to the left side (the hoist side) of the viewer with the coat of arms at the centre.
When displayed on a single flagpole, the Equatorial Guinea flag should always be positioned at the highest point, ensuring it is the first flag seen.
If displayed alongside other flags, ensure the Equatorial Guinea flag is flown to the left (the observer's perspective) and is of equal height with other flags.
When displaying the flag indoors, hang it in a prominent location where it can be easily seen, ensuring that it is not obstructed by furniture or other items.
Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the peak of the pole before lowering it halfway down.
This gesture is often used to honour and remember those who have passed away or significant national tragedies.
Ensure the flag is lowered to the same halfway position consistently for a respectful appearance.
Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
If raising the flag during sunrise, do so slowly and respectfully to signify the start of a new day for the nation.
If it is to be displayed continuously, it must be illuminated properly during night-time hours to show respect and keep it visible.
Weather Conditions:
Avoid flying the flag during extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, strong winds, or storms, to prevent damage.
If inclement weather is forecasted, take the flag down to protect its fabric and maintain its appearance.
If the flag becomes wet, allow it to dry thoroughly before folding or storing to avoid mould and damage.
Retirement of the Flag:
When the flag is no longer in a condition to be displayed, it should be retired respectfully.
A common method is to burn the flag in a dignified ceremony, ensuring that the ashes are treated with respect.
You can also contact local organisations or veteran groups that might have specific retirement ceremonies to honour the flag appropriately.
By following these care guidelines, your flag will maintain its vibrant colours and remain in excellent condition for years to come. Caring for your flag is not only about preservation but also about honouring the pride and heritage it represents.
