Materials and Construction
135gsm Trilobal Fabric
Made from 135gsm knitted polyester Trilobal fabric, this printed flag provides a lightweight and practical option for everyday indoor and outdoor display. The material produces a bold, clearly visible Union Jack design.
Choosing Your Finish
Choose Header with Loops for straightforward attachment using sister clips. Select the Vertical Sleeve for a neat display that slides directly over a compatible pole.
Hemmed Edges
The flag is hemmed along its edges to help resist fraying and maintain a clean, professional appearance during regular display.
To help maintain your flag's appearance and extend its lifespan, follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning
Gentle Washing: Wash with a mild detergent to help preserve the flag's colours. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
Machine Washing: If machine washing, use a delicate cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to help prevent snagging.
Air Drying: Hang or lay the flag flat to dry naturally. Do not tumble dry, as excessive heat may damage or shrink the fabric.
Storage
Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to help prevent mould and fading.
Folding the United Kingdom Flag
Ensure the flag is clean and completely dry before folding.
Lay the flag flat on a clean surface with the Union Jack facing upward.
Fold the flag lengthwise in half, aligning the edges carefully.
Fold it lengthwise again, keeping the edges straight.
Starting from the fly end (opposite the hoist), fold the flag into neat rectangular or accordion-style sections until you reach the hoist.
For formal presentation, keep the Union Jack visible on the outside of the folded flag.
Store in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Handling
Avoid Sharp Objects: Protect the fabric from snags, tears and abrasions.
Secure Installation: Attach the flag correctly to reduce unnecessary strain on seams and fittings.
Minimise Exposure: Remove the flag during severe weather or overnight where practical to help extend its service life.
Repairs
Minor Repairs: Small tears or loose stitching can often be repaired by a professional seamstress. Use a replacement flag while repairs are being completed.
Replacement: Replace the flag once it becomes significantly worn or faded to maintain a professional appearance.
Flying the United Kingdom Flag
Raising the Flag
Header with Loops: Attach the reinforced loops to the halyard using the supplied sister clips.
Vertical Sleeve: Slide the sleeve over the pole, ensuring it is correctly aligned before raising the flag.
Raise the flag smoothly to the top of the pole without allowing it to touch the ground.
Ensure the flag is fully extended and free from excessive folds.
Displaying the Flag
Display the Union Jack in its correct orientation.
When flown with other flags, position it in the place of honour (typically to the left when viewed from the front).
For indoor displays, position the flag to the observer's left with the upper corner nearest the pole or wall.
Flying at Half-Mast
Raise the flag to the top of the pole before lowering it to the half-mast position.
When raising or lowering the flag, do not allow it to touch the ground.
Return the flag to the top of the pole when the period of mourning has concluded.
Half-mast is generally observed during periods of national mourning or remembrance.
Sunrise and Sunset Etiquette
Raise the flag at sunrise and lower it at sunset.
If displayed at night, ensure it is properly illuminated.
Lower the flag respectfully at the end of the day.
Weather Conditions
Lower the flag during severe weather where practical to help reduce unnecessary wear.
In high winds, consider using a reinforced flag suitable for demanding conditions.
If prolonged adverse weather is expected, store the flag until conditions improve.
Retiring the Flag
Retire the flag respectfully once it becomes excessively worn, damaged or faded.
Dispose of it using an appropriate and respectful method in accordance with local customs or organisational guidelines.
Some communities and organisations offer flag retirement or disposal services.
Following these care and display guidelines will help keep your United Kingdom flag looking its best for years to come.
