Custom teardrop flag printing
Description
Why should I use a Custom Printed Teardrop Flag?
Attract the attention of passing trade outside businesses, trade shows, sporting events and festivals with teardrop advertising flags. Your custom teardrop flag displays your artwork on both sides as a mirror image, with the print reversed on one side.
High quality teardrop banners are a clear and effective way of letting people know who you are, where you are and what you do. Designed to withstand windy and rainy weather conditions, these eye-catching outdoor displays won't let you down through the seasons.
What base does this tear drop banner stand come with?
We supply three different flag bases. You can choose from a drive-on foot, ground spike or a water filled base, depending which suits your surface better.
- A drive-on base is ideal for placing under vehicle wheels. Use this base in large petrol station forecourts or outside car showrooms.
- A ground spike for pushing into a softer surface like grass or sand. This keeps your promotional flags securely in place, even in wind and rain.
- A water base, when full, is weightier and gives your flag display some extra height, making your branding visible from further away.

Will my artwork be printed onto both sides of my custom teardrop flags?
Although you might expect these flags to support double-sided printing, we actually print your artwork on one side. A mirror image on the other side gives you the effect of a double sided teardrop flag.
What is the difference between feather and teardrop flags?
Teardrop flags have a wide, round shape which resembles a droplet, while feather flags are narrower and designed to flutter in the wind. Teardrop flags have a smaller printable area, but the taut banner design means that your messages remain clearly visible.
Do I have to design my own artwork?
You must provide us with your chosen graphic prior to printing. Alternatively, you can chose to use our Branding and Print Design Service. Once you have placed your order, you will receive an email with instructions on how to send your finished artwork template to us.
Teardrop flag printing requires a 3% tolerance, as dimensions may vary slightly during manufacturing. We will supply your dye sublimation printed flag within 7-10 days after we receive and approve your artwork.

Printing and branding
Can I get this product with custom printing?
Yes, this product is available with custom prints. After purchase, we'll send you an email within an hour with a link to upload your graphics, or you can design it yourself using our clever online drawing app. Please ensure you use one of the templates we provide to make this problem-free.
You only need to supply one design when ordering this product, as the design is visible through the flag from both sides since the flag is translucent. The 'back' of the flag will therefore show a mirrored version of your image.
After you order, we'll send an email within an hour with instructions on how to send us your artwork.
You can upload artwork from your designer, or design it yourself using our online drawing app.
We'll print your artwork and will send it along with your products when it's printed 2-3 days later.
Where do I find templates and information on image requirements?
You can find templates and instructions for your designer on our Print Service page under the 'Design Templates' tab. Remove or hide any layers showing guidelines and crop marks before saving.
Do you offer a design service?
If you're struggling with creating your artwork, we do offer an in-house design service. Using your existing images and logos, we will take your design instructions and ideas to create a finished piece of artwork that is effective and ready to print.
Alternatively, our online drawing application allows you to design your own graphics via web browser. It's easy to use and you don't need to be a designer to get good results.
Do I need my artwork ready when I order?
No, as you upload your design after ordering, you don't need to have it ready when you purchase your item. We'll send you an email within an hour after you order. You can then get it designed and uploaded in your own time. If you don't receive an email within an hour, please contact us and we'll be happy to assist.
Can I send more than one piece of artwork for a double sided product?
Yes, you can send over two different types of artwork to feature on either side.
How long does it take to print my products?
Most of our printed or branded products take 2-3 days to produce (depending on the product) after we've received your graphics. If we don't receive your artwork promptly your order will be delayed.
Can I get next day delivery?
As there is a lead time of 2-5 days on custom prints after receipt of artwork, we're unable to deliver them via expedited services or make them available via Click and Collect. Once printed, we'll despatch your goods using your chosen delivery method.
