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.

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:
Can your teardrop banners be double sided?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Yes. We offer double sided teardrop banners for an additional cost. Please see the next question for details and design considerations for our double sided option.
Q:
For double sided tear banners, can I do different images on the front and back?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Yes. You can either design your banner so that both sides are the same or both sides are different. Simply select the “Printed Sides” option and click the "Back Side" button to design the back side of your flag however you’d like.
Q:
If I order just a banner, single or double sided, will I get a pole set with it?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
No. For your teardrop banner to work you'll need to design the banner and then select poles and your preferred stand as options. We’ve done this to allow you to purchase replacement banners in the future.
Q:
What are your other banners that you offer?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

At Signs.com we offer a variety of banners for your display needs. From custom vinyl banners to fabric banners, or even retractable banners, we’ve got you covered. We also offer a feather flag banner, which is similar in design and use to the teardrop banner.

Q:
Can I buy just a teardrop banner? What about just hardware without a banner?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Currently you can order replacement or additional banners directly through our website. For hardware, pole sets, carrying case or bases, please contact us at 888-222-4929 or support@signs.com to place your order. These options are currently unavailable as standalone items on our website.
Q:
Can I put two banners on one pole?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
The purchased pole set is only designed to display one banner. When securing the flagpole to the banner, it requires tying them together, which cannot be achieved when there are multiple banners.
Q:
Do I have to use the pole set purchased with my banner or can I attach the banner to any type of small pole?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

We highly recommend using the purchased pole set because it is specifically designed to display the teardrop banner. Attempting to use it with any other type of pole will most likely prove to be unsuccessful. Our standard banners are a more versatile option if you’re looking to attach a sign to a variety of surfaces or in a variety of ways (rope, string, bungee, zip ties, etc.).

Q:
What are teardrop banners typically used for?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Teardrop banners are commonly used outside businesses or stores to promote sales, products, grand-openings, or events. Display prominent menu items, promotions, new management and so much more. They are also commonly used as sponsor signage at a wide range of events. The idea behind these banners is for you to capture attention of those who pass by on foot or while driving to entice them to visit your store or business. The sky is the limit for what you can use these banners for.
Q:
Will my banner become faded or worn over time?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Unless you display the banner inside or out of direct sunlight, your banner may become faded over an extended period of time. Like with any material, exposure to the outside elements can cause wear and tear over time. This wear and tear can include fading of the sign itself. Any fading that may occur will depend on the usage rate and climate in which it is used but from our experience fading is not evident before a year or more of sustained use. We also recommend storing your custom teardrop banner in stormy or extreme weather of any kind.
Q:
How do I install my teardrop banner?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

Installing the teardrop banner is straightforward. When assembling the flagpole, take the two smallest poles and connect them. One will have a small knob, this will be the top of the assembled pole. Next, take the next two larger poles and connect them together and combine those two with the two smaller poles you previously joined. With those four poles assembled, take the remaining largest pole and attach it to the combined pole. Now you’re ready to place the banner onto the pole by sliding the pole through the bottom pocket of the banner. Make sure you take your time sliding the pole through the pocket to avoid possible stretching or tearing of the material or unwanted bending of the pole.

Once the banner material is attached to the pole it’s time to insert it into either the ground stake or one of the other available base options. After inserting the pole into the stake or base, take the small cord from the flagpole and thread it through the small loop at the bottom of the banner material. Now that the cord is through the loop, insert the cord into the metal ring of the base. Tie a knot, securing your banner and pole to the base. Now you’re ready to place your assembled teardrop banner either in or on the ground.
