Knitted Polyester Tokelau Flag

Embrace Tokelauan Culture with Our Knitted Polyester Tokelau Flag

Tokelau, a small yet culturally rich territory in the South Pacific, is known for its stunning atolls, vibrant Polynesian heritage, and strong sense of community. Despite its remote location, Tokelau takes pride in its traditions, self-governance, and environmental sustainability efforts. Our Knitted Polyester Tokelau Flag captures this spirit, making it the perfect way to showcase your pride in this unique and resilient territory.

The Tokelau Flag:

The Tokelau flag symbolises the territory’s Polynesian identity and its aspirations for self-determination. The key elements of the flag include:

• The Yellow Canoe: A yellow Tokelauan canoe sailing towards the stars, representing Tokelau’s journey towards a brighter future, as well as the importance of the ocean in daily life.
• The Four Stars: Positioned in the Southern Cross constellation, these stars symbolise Tokelau’s connection to New Zealand and its navigation history.
• The Blue Background: Reflects the vast Pacific Ocean that surrounds Tokelau, as well as the strength and resilience of its people.

Available Finishes:

• Header with Loops: Reinforced loops at the top of the flag, paired with durable sister clips, provide a secure and long-lasting attachment to flagpoles or ropes.
• Vertical Sleeve: Designed with a discreet pocket along the side, this finish allows the flag to be easily slid onto poles with diameters up to 28mm. Need a different sleeve size? Get in touch with us for custom options.

For lasting quality and vibrant colours of the flag, please follow these care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent to gently hand wash your flag, preserving its colours. Avoid bleach or any harsh chemicals that may cause fading.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Placing the flag in a mesh laundry bag helps prevent snagging.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as excessive heat can damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep it in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture damage or mould.
3. Folding the Tokelau Flag:
   • Lay the Flag Flat: Place the flag on a clean, flat surface with the design facing up. Smooth out any wrinkles.
   • Fold Lengthwise: Bring the bottom edge of the flag to meet the top edge, keeping the design visible and ensuring the corners align perfectly.
   • Fold Again: Fold it lengthwise once more, maintaining even edges to create a long, narrow strip.
   • Create a Triangle: Starting at one end, fold the corner over to form a triangle. Continue folding in a triangular pattern along the length of the flag.
   • Tuck and Secure: Once the flag is fully folded, tuck the remaining fabric into the fold to keep it secure. Ensure the flag remains neat and compact.
   • Store Safely: Place the folded flag in a protective cover or a dry, safe location to prevent dust and damage.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp or abrasive surfaces to prevent tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure it is firmly attached to flagpoles or mounts to minimise strain and fluttering damage.
   • Minimise Exposure: Take the flag down during severe weather conditions or overnight to maintain its condition.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consider seeking the assistance of a professional seamstress for repairs.
   • Replacement: When the flag exhibits noticeable wear, it’s best to replace it to maintain a polished appearance for important occasions.

Flying the Tokelau Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  • The flag should be in good condition and free from tears or fading before raising it.
  • Header with Loops: Attach the flag’s reinforced loops to the halyard clips, ensuring a firm and secure connection for smooth raising.
  • Vertical Sleeve: Slide the flagpole through the sleeve until it reaches the top with the flag remaining flat and properly aligned.
  • Raise the flag briskly and with dignity, reaching the top of the pole without obstruction.
  • Avoid letting the flag touch the ground during the process.
• Displaying the Flag:
  • The Tokelau Flag should always be displayed respectfully, positioned in a place of prominence.
  • If flown alongside other flags, it should be of equal size and flown at the same height.
  • When displayed indoors, the flag should be positioned to the right of the speaker or on the left side from the audience's perspective.
  • The flag should never be used as a table covering, curtain, or for decorative purposes that compromise its integrity.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  • The flag may be flown at half-mast as a mark of mourning or respect.
  • Raise the flag to the top of the pole first, then lower it to the half-mast position, which is generally halfway between the top and bottom.
  • When lowering the flag, raise it to the top briefly before fully bringing it down.
  • Confirm any specific protocols with local authorities or organisations for official occasions of mourning.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  • The Tokelau Flag should generally be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
  • For events or ceremonies held in the evening, the flag may remain hoisted if adequately illuminated.
  • Showcase the flag clearly and respectfully at night by using proper lighting.
  • On significant occasions, consider holding a brief ceremony when raising or lowering the flag.
• Weather Conditions:
  • Avoid flying the flag during severe weather conditions such as storms or strong winds, as these may cause damage.
  • Flags made from Trilobal fabric are durable, but bringing the flag down during harsh conditions can extend its lifespan.
  • If the flag becomes wet, allow it to dry completely before storage to prevent mould and mildew.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  • When the Tokelau Flag becomes worn, faded, or damaged beyond repair, it should be retired respectfully.
  • The preferred method is to ceremoniously burn the flag in a private and dignified manner.
  • Alternatively, check with local authorities or organisations for approved flag disposal services.
  • Consider replacing the flag to continue honouring Tokelau’s heritage with a vibrant and respectful display.

By following these simple guidelines, your flag will stay vibrant and well-maintained for years to come. Caring for your flag is a meaningful way to honour its symbolism and cultural pride.
