Custom Teardrop Flags That Stay Open and Readable

A teardrop flag keeps its rounded shape whether the wind is blowing or not, so your logo is always on display. Our custom teardrop banners are dye-sublimated double-sided on 4 oz polyester mesh, come with an aluminum and fiberglass pole set, and are available in four heights from 7 ft to 13.5 ft.

Overview

What Is a Teardrop Flag?

A teardrop flag (also called a teardrop banner, tear drop sign, or shark fin flag) is an advertising flag stretched over a flexible pole that bends into a curved teardrop shape. Because the pole holds the fabric open, the graphic stays taut and fully visible on calm days and indoors, where a feather flag would simply hang.

Always Readable

The curved pole keeps tension on the fabric, so your design faces people even with no breeze at all.

Double-Sided Print

Dye-sublimated on both sides for a clean, correct-reading graphic from either direction.

Tool-Free Assembly

Interlocking pole sections push together by hand. Four pieces for most sizes, five for the 13.5 ft flag.

Events

Teardrop Banners for Trade Shows, Beaches, and Outdoor Events

At an event you cannot count on wind, and you cannot count on people looking up at the right moment. A teardrop flag solves both: the shape stays open, so your logo reads clearly from across a convention hall or a crowded beach.

Use a cross base on hard floors and a ground stake in sand or grass. Both pack into a carry bag with the poles.

Comparison

Teardrop Flag vs Feather Flag

Both shapes are popular. Here is how they differ, using our own sizes and prices.

Feature Teardrop Flag Feather Angled Flag
Shape Rounded, held open by a bent pole Tall and slim, waves in the wind
In calm air Stays open and readable Hangs closer to the pole
Heights 7, 9, 11.2, 13.5 ft 9, 10.5, 14, 18 ft
Price range $215 to $350 $215 to $350
Best for Logos, indoor events, trade shows Roadside height, short headlines
Pro Tip: Indoors or in a sheltered spot, a teardrop flag usually wins. On an open roadside where height matters most, compare our feather angled flags, which go up to 18 ft.

Setup

How to Put Up a Teardrop Flag

Assembly is tool-free and takes a few minutes. Push the interlocking pole sections together, finishing with the flexible fiberglass top piece.

Slide the flag's pole sleeve over the pole from the top, then bend the pole into its curve and hook the cord at the bottom of the flag to hold the teardrop shape. Set the pole onto your stake or base. In wind, add a water bag over the cross base.

  • ✓ Join the pole sections
  • ✓ Slide on the flag sleeve
  • ✓ Hook the bottom cord to set the curve
  • ✓ Mount on stake or base

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about custom teardrop flags.

What sizes do teardrop flags come in?

We offer four sizes: Small 7 ft, Medium 9 ft, Large 11.2 ft, and X-Large 13.5 ft. The printed graphic ranges from about 23 in x 64 in on the Small to about 45 in x 141 in on the X-Large.

How much do teardrop flags cost?

Our premium custom teardrop flag is $215 (7 ft), $240 (9 ft), $275 (11.2 ft), or $350 (13.5 ft), with the pole set included.

Do teardrop flags come with a pole and base?

Each teardrop flag includes an aluminum and fiberglass pole set and a ground stake. For hard surfaces, upgrade when you order to a cross base (+$25), cross base with water bag (+$35), or square base (+$30).

What is the difference between a teardrop flag and a feather flag?

A teardrop flag is held open in a rounded shape by a bent pole, so it stays readable with no wind. A feather flag is taller and slimmer and waves in the breeze. See our feather angled flags to compare.

How do you set up a teardrop flag?

Connect the pole sections, slide the flag sleeve over the pole, bend the pole and hook the bottom cord to form the teardrop, then place it on a stake or base. No tools are needed.

Can teardrop flags be used indoors?

Yes. Because the shape holds without wind, teardrop flags are a popular choice for trade shows, lobbies, and showrooms. Use a cross base or square base on indoor floors.

Are teardrop flags double-sided?

Yes. Our premium teardrop flag is printed double-sided, so the design reads correctly from both sides.

What base should I use for a teardrop flag in wind?

On grass, use the ground stake; its bearing lets the flag turn with the wind. On pavement, use a cross base with a water bag, or the heavier square base.

Can I buy a replacement teardrop flag pole?

Yes. The teardrop flag pole set is sold separately in Small, Medium, Large, and XLarge, with a nylon pole bag.

How do I clean and store a teardrop flag?

Hand wash gently with mild soap and water, then air dry completely. Fold the fabric and store it with the poles in a dry place, ideally in a carry bag.
