Materials and Construction:
Trilobal 135gsm Fabric
Our flags are made from high-grade Trilobal 135gsm fabric, chosen for its durability and excellent colour retention. This top-tier material is perfect for both indoor and outdoor display, ensuring your flag remains vibrant and eye-catching over time.
Header with Loops vs. Vertical Sleeve
The Header with Loops finish provides an easy installation, featuring reinforced loops and sister clips for a secure hold.

Custom sizing is available on request for poles of different dimensions.
Hemmed Edges
The top, bottom, left, and right edges of all our flags are neatly hemmed to prevent fraying, enhancing durability and ensuring a professional, clean appearance.
Using high-quality materials and precision construction techniques, our flags are designed to withstand various weather conditions while retaining their vivid colours. This attention to detail ensures long-lasting, visually appealing flags.

To maintain the vibrant colours and ensure the longevity of the French Guiana flag, please adhere to the following care guidelines:
Cleaning:
Gentle Washing: Always clean the flag using a mild detergent to minimise fading. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that could harm the colours.
Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Refrain from tumble drying, as high temperatures 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 French Guiana Flag:
Prepare the Flag: Begin by laying the flag face down on a clean, flat surface. Ensure that it is free of dirt and debris before folding.
First Fold: Take the bottom edge of the flag and fold it up towards the top edge, aligning the edges carefully. This creates a horizontal fold.
Second Fold: Next, fold the flag in half lengthwise by bringing the left side over to the right side. Make sure the edges align neatly, so the flag remains even.
Third Fold: With the flag still folded lengthwise, take one end and fold it over towards the centre, creating a triangular shape. Repeat this with the opposite end, bringing it to meet the first fold at the centre.
Final Fold: Roll the flag from the pointed end of the triangle to the open end, ensuring it remains tightly rolled without creasing. This will help protect the fabric and preserve the colours.
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 firmly fastened when displayed to prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
Minimise Exposure: Bring the flag down during extreme weather conditions or overnight to protect its integrity.
Repairs:
Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consider replacing the flag and taking the damaged one to a professional seamstress for repair.
Replacement: When the flag exhibits significant wear, it’s wise to invest in a new one to maintain its appearance for important events.
Flying the French Guiana Flag:
Raising the Flag:
Begin by ensuring the flag is securely attached to the flagpole, checking that it is not tangled or damaged.
Using the Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops at the top of the flag to the halyard. Ensure the sister clips are securely fastened to prevent the flag from detaching while raising it.
Using the Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flag onto the pole by inserting the pole into the discreet pocket on the side of the flag. Adjust the flag so that it is evenly displayed and properly aligned before raising it to the desired height.
Once the flag reaches the top, secure the halyard to prevent it from slipping, allowing the flag to fly freely.
Displaying the Flag:
Position the flagpole in a prominent location where it can be seen easily by the public, such as in front of a building or along a main pathway.
The French Guiana Flag should be oriented with the yellow field at the hoist (the side closest to the flagpole). Ensure the flag is not displayed upside down, as this could be seen as a sign of distress.
If displaying multiple flags, ensure the French Guiana flag is either at the highest point or on the left side when viewed from the front, in accordance with flag etiquette.
Flying the Flag Half-Mast:
To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole briefly before lowering it halfway down. This is a sign of respect and mourning.
Ensure the flag is secured in place, and maintain this position throughout the period of mourning as per local customs or regulations.
When lowering the flag back to full mast, repeat the process by first raising it to the top before bringing it down completely.
Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
The flag should be raised at sunrise, and ideally, it should be the first item displayed as the day begins.
Lower the flag at sunset, ensuring it is taken down respectfully before nightfall, unless it is illuminated by a light source.
If the flag is displayed during the night, consider using a flagpole light to honour the flag appropriately.
Weather Conditions:
Be mindful of weather conditions when displaying the flag. Remove the flag during severe weather, such as heavy rain, storms, or high winds, to prevent damage.
In rainy conditions, ensure the flag is dried thoroughly before folding or storing it to avoid mould and deterioration.
If possible, consider using a flag made from weather-resistant materials for prolonged outdoor use.
Retirement of the Flag:
When the flag is worn, faded, or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired respectfully. This can be done through ceremonial disposal.
To retire the flag, fold it neatly and then either bury it or burn it in a respectful manner, ensuring that it is done safely and in accordance with local regulations.
If unsure about the retirement process, consider consulting local flag associations or guidelines for proper procedures.
By following these guidelines, your flag will maintain its vibrant colours and remain in excellent condition for many years. Caring for your flag is not just about preservation but also about honouring the pride and heritage it represents.
