Single-Sided vs Double-Sided Banner Flags When ordering your teardrop flag, you can choose between standard print (single-sided) or double-sided print. The right option depends on how and where your flag will be displayed. Standard Print (Single-Sided Print) Standard print is the most popular and cost-effective option for teardrop flags. The design is printed onto one side of the fabric, with the image visible on the reverse as a mirrored version due to the natural show-through of the material. Lightweight and responsive, single-sided teardrop flags retain their tensioned shape while still allowing subtle movement, helping attract attention without compromising readability. They are ideal for outdoor promotions, shopfronts, events, and exhibitions where footfall flows mainly in one direction. Double-Sided Print Double-sided teardrop flags offer a more premium finish, with two printed panels sewn together around a block-out layer. This ensures your artwork is displayed correctly on both sides with no show-through. Thanks to the teardrop shape keeping both sides consistently visible, this option works particularly well in high-traffic areas where people approach from multiple directions, such as exhibitions, forecourts, and busy retail environments. Double-sided flags can also be printed with different designs on each side, allowing you to promote multiple messages or branding variations within a single display.

For outdoor use, we offer ground spikes, water bases, and heavy-duty bases that ensure stability even in windy conditions. For shows and forecourts, we even offer drive-over bases that allow vehicles to securely hold the flags in place. For indoor use, we provide sturdy base plates to ensure your flags maintain their position and visibility. How quickly can your flags be made?

Our teardrop flags are designed for outdoor promotional use, but they should be taken down during strong winds, storms and severe weather. As a general guide, we recommend removing your flag when wind speeds reach approximately 24mph or above, equivalent to Beaufort Force 5. Flags should be brought in sooner in exposed, coastal or particularly gusty locations. Always use the correct base for the surface and conditions, and regularly check that the flag, pole and base remain securely assembled. Although our teardrop flags are produced using high-quality, fade-resistant printing, prolonged exposure to sunlight will gradually cause colours and fabric to deteriorate. UV damage is cumulative, so bringing your flag indoors when your business is closed or when it is not in use will help extend its lifespan. Allow wet flags to dry fully before folding and storing them. Store the flag clean and dry, and avoid leaving it tightly folded for long periods. How do I care for my flags? Our flags are easy to care for. We recommend occasional cleaning with water and mild soap to keep them looking vibrant. Always store your flags in a dry, cool place when not in use. I need a large number of custom flags, can you help? Yes, we can absolutely help with bulk orders! Whether you need a large quantity of flags for an event, promotion, or multiple locations, we can handle it. We offer competitive pricing for bulk orders and ensure consistent quality across all flags.
