Folding the American flag the right way is more than just tradition; it’s a timeless act of reverence that reflects the honor, sacrifice, and pride carried by generations of Americans, and at Allegiance, we believe it’s our responsibility to uphold that respect in everything we do, from the way we craft our flags to the way we care for them.

How To Fold The American Flag The Right Way
1. Hold It With Care
Stand shoulder to shoulder with a partner, each holding an end of the flag waist-high. Keep it steady and parallel to the ground—this moment deserves your full attention.
2. Fold With Respect
Bring the lower half of the flag up to meet the top edge. The stars and stripes resting together, just as they were meant to.
3. Repeat The Fold
Fold it lengthwise once more, guiding the lower edge up to the top. The field of stars stays visible on the outside—a quiet, steadfast symbol of unity.
4. Begin The Triangles
At the striped end, fold the corner up to form a triangle. It’s a small, deliberate fold—a timeless gesture of respect.
5. Continue, Steady And True
Triangle after triangle, work your way down the length of the flag, keeping each fold crisp and careful. Every motion honors the generations who came before.
6. Finish With Pride
Tuck the final edge in neatly, leaving only a proud triangle of blue and white stars. That’s how you fold the flag the right way—the American way.
