To preserve the quality and vibrant appearance of your flag, please follow these care instructions:
Cleaning
Gentle Washing: Gently wash your flag with a soft detergent to help preserve its vibrant colours. Avoid bleach or strong chemicals that could cause discolouration.
Machine Wash: If using a washing machine, select a delicate cycle with cold water. Place the flag in a mesh laundry bag to help prevent it from catching on other items.
Air Drying: Hang or lay the flag flat to dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can distort the fabric and dull the colours.
Storage
Proper Storage: Make sure the flag is completely dry before packing it away. Store it in a cool, dry place to help prevent mildew or fading.
Folding the Vatican City Flag
Start with a Clean, Dry Flag: Make sure the flag is completely dry and free from debris before folding. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
First Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, aligning the yellow and white fields evenly. Keep the coat of arms visible and upright on the top side.
Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise again, aligning the two halves evenly and keeping the coat of arms on the outer side.
First Horizontal Fold: Fold the flag horizontally from the bottom upwards, keeping the fold even and the coat of arms visible from the outside.
Additional Horizontal Folds: Continue folding horizontally in thirds or quarters as needed until the flag forms a neat, compact rectangle.
Final Adjustments: Align the edges so the folds are smooth and even. Avoid creating excessive creases.
Storing the Flag: Store the folded flag in a dry, safe place, preferably laying it flat or gently rolled to help prevent unnecessary wrinkles.
Handling
Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from abrasive materials and sharp edges that may snag or tear the fabric.
Secure Installation: Install the flag securely to help prevent unnecessary strain, particularly during windy conditions.
Minimise Exposure: Remove the flag during storms or high winds to help extend its lifespan.
Repairs
Minor Repairs: If your flag becomes slightly torn or frayed, consider taking it to a professional seamstress for proper mending.
Replacement: For more extensive wear or damage, consider replacing the flag to maintain a dignified and presentable appearance.
Flying the Vatican City Flag
Raising the Flag
Using the Header with Loops: If your flag has a header with loops, attach the reinforced loops using the sister clips and raise the flag smoothly using the rope or halyard without snagging the fabric.
Using the Vertical Sleeve: For flags with a vertical sleeve, slide the sleeve over the flagpole and ensure the fabric is properly aligned.
Raise the flag slowly and with dignity, making sure the fabric does not touch the ground.
Displaying the Flag
Display the Vatican City Flag with the yellow field on the hoist side and the white field on the fly side.
Keep the coat of arms clearly visible and unobstructed, and avoid displaying the flag when it is tattered or damaged.
Flying the Flag Half-Mast
When flying the flag at half-mast, first raise it to the top of the pole briefly before lowering it to the halfway position.
Raise the flag back to full mast before lowering it at the end of the day.
Half-mast positions may be requested for solemn occasions, memorial days or periods of mourning.
Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset
The Vatican City Flag should be raised at sunrise and taken down at sunset.
If illuminated during the night, it can be flown overnight. Without lighting, it should be lowered at sundown.
Weather Conditions
In adverse weather conditions such as heavy winds or storms, take the flag down to help prevent fabric damage.
Avoid flying the flag in conditions where it may be torn or damaged, including high winds, heavy rain or snow.
Make sure the flag is thoroughly dry before re-raising it after wet weather to help prevent mould and deterioration.
Retirement of the Flag
When the flag becomes tattered, frayed or worn, it should be retired with dignity.
Avoid discarding the flag carelessly. Consider an appropriate and respectful ceremonial method of retirement.
Replace a retired flag with a new one when appropriate to maintain a dignified display.
Proper care and handling will help maintain the appearance and condition of your Vatican City Flag over time.
