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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!

Product Specs
What are the differences between a teardrop banner, feather flag banner, and regular flag?
Besides the obvious appearance and shape of each product, there are other differences that set them apart from the other.
The teardrop banner has a more taut display because of the teardrop shape. The feather flag has more material and is less taut than the teardrop banner allowing a bit more waving from the wind. Due to its shape the feather flag also offers more space to print on when the sizes are equivalent. Both the teardrop banner and the feather or flag banner are extremely similar otherwise. They are similar in shape, set up, use and display options and effectiveness. Ultimately, the choice between the two comes down to price and personal preference.
A standard flag is usually attached to a sturdy, vertical flag pole, rather than the bendable poles used in the teardrop and feather banners, making it more susceptible to blowing freely in the wind. The shape is also rectangular and obviously is a much different appearance than either of the other two options. We do not currently offer standard flags.
What material is your teardrop banner made out of?
Our teardrop banners are made from a durable 4 oz. polyester material, which is lightweight and flexible. Unlike our 13 oz. vinyl that we offer in our standard vinyl banners, the 4 oz. material is perfect for banners because of its lightweight properties. Polyester has a plastic-like feel to it, but is flexible and foldable.
Does the material of the poles differ depending on the size of the teardrop banner I order?
Are the flagpoles designed to be interchangeable between banner sizes?
What is the lifespan of your teardrop banner?
Will exposure to sun or the elements, such as wind, affect the banner?
Placing the banner in direct sunlight will cause the quality of your design to fade quicker than if the banner was placed in shade or indoors. Notwithstanding, it typically requires prolonged and direct exposure to the sun to see any kind of fading or deterioration of the banner or printed portion.
The lifespan of your custom teardrop banner will decrease if you use the banner in harsh conditions in comparison to placing/using it indoors. If you’re displaying the banner in harsh weather conditions, like strong wind, heavy rain or snow, there is a chance that it can become permanently damaged. Strong winds can cause unwanted bending in the flagpole and could possibly knock over the banner. We recommend taking down your teardrop banner and storing it if inclement weather is imminent.
Are teardrop banners prone to tearing?
How small or big can my teardrop banner be?
We offer four sizes of teardrop banners: Small (7ft), Medium (9ft), Large (11.2ft), and X-Large (13.5ft). The size variations refer to the assembled banner and flagpole. The sizes of the actual banners are: 23.17” W x 63.52” H (Small), 32.54” W x 78.64” H (Medium), 40.38” W x 101.63” H (Large), 44.95” W x 140.75” H (X-Large). The width of each banner refers to the top, where it then tapers to the bottom of the banner.
If you mount your flagpole and banner on a stand, the height will vary. The square base will add about 1/8th of an inch to the height, whereas the cross base will add 7” to the overall height.. The ground stake will add a variable height depending on how deep you drive the stake into the ground.
If I print my banner in more than one color am I charged more?
Are your banners a matte or gloss finish?
Will my banner melt if placed in direct sunlight or high temperatures?
What’s the difference between the square base and the cross base?
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.
What is the water bag? Can it be filled with sand?
How big is the ground stake? Can it be placed in loose or thick soil?
Is the carrying case included in my purchase of a teardrop banner? What fits inside the case?
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.
What’s the difference between the carrying case and the pole bag?
Is the carrying case designed to fit all sizes of teardrop banners?
Are your teardrop banners fire resistant?
Do I have to use one of your templates for my banner?
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.
Is the single sided option for teardrop banners mirrored or print through?
Can your teardrop banners be double sided?
For double sided tear banners, can I do different images on the front and back?
If I order just a banner, single or double sided, will I get a pole set with it?
What are your other banners that you offer?
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.
Can I buy just a teardrop banner? What about just hardware without a banner?
Usage
Can I put two banners on one pole?
Do I have to use the pole set purchased with my banner or can I attach the banner to any type of small pole?
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.).

Installation & Care
How do I install my teardrop banner?
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.
