For lasting quality and vibrant colours, please follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning:
Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to protect the flag’s colours. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that could 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 snagging.
Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat may cause shrinkage or damage the fabric.
Storage:
Proper Storage: Dry the flag completely before putting it away. Store it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage or mildew.
Folding the Switzerland Flag:
Lay the Flag Flat: Place the flag on a clean, dry surface with the white cross facing upwards. Smooth out any wrinkles to ensure a neat fold.
Fold in Half Horizontally: Bring the bottom edge up to meet the top edge, keeping the cross aligned and visible.
Fold in Half Vertically: Take the right edge and fold it over to meet the left edge, ensuring the cross remains centred.
Continue Folding to a Manageable Size: Depending on storage needs, fold the flag again into a compact square while maintaining the shape of the cross. For ceremonial storage, fold carefully to keep the white cross as visible as possible.
Store Properly: Place the folded flag in a protective case or a dry, well-ventilated space to prevent dust or moisture buildup. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the flag to maintain its crisp folds.
Handling:
Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp edges or rough surfaces that may cause snags or tears.
Secure Installation: Properly secure the flag to prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
Minimise Exposure: To extend the flag’s lifespan, bring it indoors during extreme weather conditions or overnight.
Repairs:
Minor Repairs: Small tears or fraying should be repaired by a professional seamstress to maintain the flag’s integrity.
Replacement: If the flag becomes significantly worn, consider replacing it for a pristine appearance for important occasions.
Flying the Switzerland Flag:
Raising the Flag:
Hoist the flag briskly and with confidence as a sign of respect.
Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops to the flagpole rope using the included sister clips, then raise the flag smoothly to the top of the pole.
Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flagpole through the sleeve, ensuring a snug fit, and secure it properly before raising the pole to its upright position.
When raising multiple flags, the Swiss flag should always be hoisted first and should not be flown lower than any other national flag.
Displaying the Flag:
The Swiss flag, should always be presented flat and without creases when displayed vertically or horizontally.
If mounted on a flagpole, ensure it flies freely without obstruction.
Indoors, the flag can be hung on a wall with the white cross positioned upright in the centre.
Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
Lower the flag to half-mast as a mark of mourning or national remembrance.
To position the flag at half-mast, first raise it fully to the top of the pole, then lower it to the midpoint.
Before lowering the flag at the end of the day, it should first be raised fully before being taken down completely.
Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset unless it is illuminated properly for nighttime display.
When lowering the flag, do so slowly and respectfully, ensuring it does not touch the ground.
If used for an event, the flag should be hoisted before the ceremony begins and taken down after its conclusion.
Weather Conditions:
Avoid flying the flag in extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, or snowstorms, as this can cause unnecessary wear and damage.
If the flag becomes wet, fully dry it before storing to prevent mildew or fabric deterioration.
Retirement of the Flag:
A worn-out or damaged Swiss flag should be replaced to maintain its dignified appearance.
Retire the flag respectfully by cutting it into smaller sections, separating the white cross from the red fabric, and disposing of it discreetly.
Some organisations may offer proper flag disposal ceremonies to ensure it is retired with honour.
By following these care guidelines, your flag will remain vibrant and in excellent condition for years to come. Maintaining your flag is a way of honouring its significance and national heritage.
