What-Are-Teardrops-Flags

What Are Teardrop Flags?

Teardrop flags, commonly referred to as teardrop flag banners or teardrop feather flags, are large teardrop-shaped flags with any custom design printed on them using a dye sublimation process. They are attached to a lightweight aluminum and fiberglass flagpole and are either stuck into the ground or placed on some type of flag stand. This flagpole is bendable, keeping the teardrop flag taut with and without wind.

Using a teardrop flag banner in front of your store or business will surely be an eye-catcher and help draw the attention of prospective customers and other passersby. Advertising your business is made simple and effective with these teardrop flag banners.

Teardrop Flag Options

Teardrop-Flags-Double-Sided

Double Sided

Double sided flags are the most visible and effective form of teardrop flags, giving you the ability to print your design on both sides. Each side can be the same or different, depending on your needs.

The double sided flags come with a lining in the middle that prevents each side from showing through to the other.

We recommend double sided for all your teardrop flags, as it provides the most vibrant and noticeable graphics from any direction.

Teardrop-Flags-Single-Sided

Single Sided

Single sided teardrop flags are printed on one side only. As a result, the design is “print through”, which means that your design will be slightly visible from the back side.

Single sided are not as effective as double sided but are more cost sensitive.

Teardrop-Flags-Biker

Outdoors

Teardrop flags are great outdoor signs because of their durability, weather resistance, and size. They are sure to catch the eye of people walking and driving by.

We offer a variety of different types of bases that are perfect for any outdoor use. For example, you can stick your teardrop flag directly into the ground with the ground stake or place it on the ground with a square or cross base.

Teardrop-Flags-Outdoor

Indoors

Teardrop flags are also great for indoor use, especially for events, expos, and conferences.

We recommend using either a square base or cross base when using indoors.


Base Types

FeatherFlag2018SquareBase

Square

A heavy metal base with a flat, square shaped bottom great for indoor use and outdoor settings of high foot traffic and moderately windy conditions.

FeatherFlag2018Stake

Ground Stake

This 25" long metal spike is great for installing flags outdoors in solid soil and typically provides the greatest stability for outdoor use.

FeatherFlag2018CrossBase

Cross Base

This base has four legs and a foldable design making it a great option for indoor use and flags that may require travel. If used indoors with higher amounts of foot traffic, be careful to place it so that it does not create a tripping hazard.

FeatherFlag2018CrossBase-Donut

Cross Base with Water Bag

To more securely anchor your flag, use a refillable water bag to put over the top of your cross base. This heavy plastic ring full of water adds 16 pounds of weight to secure your flag!

Assemble your teardrop flag by putting all the poles together in the proper order. Unfold the flag and slide the pole through the pole insert of the flag until the flag is fully extended on the flag. Finally, erect the flag by inserting the base of the pole into one of the four stand options offered.

Q:
Will my banner melt if placed in direct sunlight or high temperatures?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Polyester will heat up in direct sunlight but it will not melt. Typically, polyester melts at around 450 degrees, so there is no need to worry about placing it in direct sunlight. However, direct sunlight over an extended period can cause fading of the design if not properly cared for.
Q:
What’s the difference between the square base and the cross base?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Both bases are weighted and suitable for indoor and outdoor use. However, the square base’s profile allows for it to be placed flush against the ground, reducing the chance of it being knocked over or being a tripping hazard. The square base is the heaviest base we offer, weighing in at 21 lbs. We suggest using the square base for outdoor use when wanting to place the banner on a flat, solid surface. If you’re looking to secure your banner in a grassy area, we recommend the ground stake over the square base.

The cross base is a foldable, 4-legged base that offers stability while remaining portable. Unlike the square base, the cross base fits within the teardrop banner carrying case, which allows for it to be transported to tradeshows or conventions. Being a lighter base allows for the cross base to be easily placed in storefronts or businesses without the hassle of carrying around the heavy square base. The cross base is stable enough to be placed outside. If placed outside, you can add the available water bag weight to give extra support.

Q:
What is the water bag? Can it be filled with sand?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The water bag is a plastic, inflatable, donut-shaped weight that can be placed on the cross base to increase stability of the base and flagpole. The bag, though designed for water in mind, can be filled with sand. If alternating between sand and water use, make sure the inside of the bag is dry before filling with sand. Also, ensure all sand is removed from the bag before filling it with water.
Q:
How big is the ground stake? Can it be placed in loose or thick soil?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The ground stake is 25” long (about 2 feet), with a peg to secure the teardrop banner and a surface to strike with a mallet or hammer when placing in the ground. We recommend placing the ground stake in solid soil to ensure that it is secure in the ground. Loose or soft soil will not provide the necessary stability for the flagpole, especially in windy conditions.
Q:
Is the carrying case included in my purchase of a teardrop banner? What fits inside the case?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

The carrying case is an additional option that can be purchased during the design process of your banner. However, your teardrop banner will come with a pole bag that will only protect your pole set. The Pole Set option you purchase is selected by default to ensure you get poles with your banner.

The carrying case is designed to hold one teardrop banner, a disassembled flagpole set, a cross base, and a folded and empty water bag. The case includes pockets to place each flagpole piece and a pouch for the cross base to ensure that everything is secure within the case. The teardrop banner case can zip up to fully secure its contents and be carried using the handles or the included shoulder strap.

Q:
What’s the difference between the carrying case and the pole bag?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Included with your purchase of a teardrop banner is a pole bag that protects your purchased pole set. This pole bag is only intended to carry the disassembled pole set without a folded banner. The bag does not have a handle or travel strap. The carrying case is designed to carry a pole set, folded banner, and a cross base. The carrying case is not included with a teardrop banner and must be purchased separately.
Q:
Is the carrying case designed to fit all sizes of teardrop banners?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
We offer two different sizes of carrying cases, depending on the size of your teardrop banner. There’s one case that is designed to fit the Small and Medium size banners, and one that is suitable for the Large and X-Large banners. If you select the option of a carrying case we will ensure the proper size gets shipped based off the size of your banner ordered.
Q:
Are your teardrop banners fire resistant?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
While polyester banners do have a slight fire resistant quality to them, it is not recommended that you place them near an open flame. Polyester, when subjected to extreme heat, can melt.
Q:
Do I have to use one of your templates for my banner?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Not at all! If you have a design or logo that you wish to use you can upload it using our design tool. Or, if you’re needing help with designing a banner, you can contact us for free design assistance to work through the process with one of our professional designers.

Q:
Is the single sided option for teardrop banners mirrored or print through?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
If you select a single-sided teardrop banner please be aware that it is print-through rather than duplicated on the back side. This means that someone will be able to see your printed design from the other side but the design and the text will be mirrored. To have the same message on the back side of the sign, and have it appear on both sides, you will need to select the double-sided option for your banner.
