There are two methods generally used in folding the Union Jack. The first is called Breaking and is generally used during flag raising.. The Union Jack is folded in half lengthwise (along the central red stripe of the St. George's Cross, and then in half again, bringing the fold to meet the edge of the flag. The last 1/3 of the flag is folded inwards (towards the heading) and then the remainder is rolled towards the heading. The flag is then secured with a piece of light cotton or string. When hoisted, a sharp tug of the halyard will break the string and allow the flag to fly free.
