Can the national flag be printed on clothes?

There is no explicit stipulation that the national flag pattern cannot be printed on clothes without affecting business activities and private funerals. Theoretically, it is ok for a personal tailor to wear it himself.

According to the laws of our country, it is not illegal to print the national flag on clothes, but when large-scale commercial production is suspected of trademark and advertising problems, it needs to be clearly avoided and cannot be illegal. At the same time, if the clothes made are used by others and do illegal things, they need to bear relevant legal responsibilities.

From a practical point of view, most commercial patterns involving the national flag adopt some form of freehand expression of the national flag instead of the standard national flag style, which may include the consideration of avoiding legal risks for businesses.

Although it is not illegal to wear clothes printed with the five-star national flag directly, it is illegal to burn and trample on the national flag at will. The national flag cannot be used as a trademark or advertisement, nor can it be used for private funerals. Holding a private funeral is only a national martyr's treatment.

Printing the national flag and its pattern on bags, clothes, ornaments and other commodities is not a trademark act, but a disguised advertising act to attract consumers through the national flag pattern.

If you must wear clothes with the national flag pattern of a personal tailor, it is recommended to protect the clothes. Relevant laws stipulate that the national flag or the national flag pattern shall not be damaged in public places.
