Home / Flag Printing / Teardrop Flags Printing
Teardrop flags are also referred to as beach flags and offer a unique solution for indoor and outdoor signage. The shape of the flag offers a greater design area and unlike any other option, teardrop flags remain taught and do not flutter in the breeze. Teardrop flags are very popular with event managers, festival organisers, schools, local authorities, sports equipment manufacturers, and suppliers.
Teardrop flags undergo a dye-sublimation process for graphic printing, ensuring the accurate reproduction of vibrant and intricate designs. The printing is available on durable knitted polyester or aero mesh material, particularly suitable for areas prone to high winds and exposure. The dye-sublimation technique enhances colour vibrancy and prevents ink runs, contributing to the flag’s durability. With a UV lifespan exceeding five years, teardrop flags maintain their visual appeal and withstand diverse weather conditions, establishing them as a reliable and stylish choice for a variety of promotional and decorative purposes.
As part of our dedication to environmental conservation, we exclusively use sustainable and eco-friendly recycled fabrics made from 100% recycled yarn. The utilisation of recycled polyester gives new life to a non-biodegradable material that would otherwise end up in landfills or contribute to ocean pollution. This innovative recycling approach allows us to save more energy compared to traditional production methods, simultaneously assisting in the decrease of greenhouse gas emissions. By adopting this approach, we actively contribute to the promotion of a sustainable future in the long term, supporting recycling within a circular economy.
Selecting the appropriate base for your teardrop flag hinges on several factors, including deployment location, portability, size, and usage conditions. Each base is tailored for specific applications, whether intended for short-term or long-term use. For indoor displays, a cross-base is suitable for most flag sizes. If aiming for a more secure outdoor display appearance, we suggest upgrading to our heavy-duty water-based options.
Cross bases offer an economical and efficient solution for indoor displays on various ground surfaces, be it soft or hard. These bases take up minimal floor space, directing attention to the flag advertisement. The lightweight and collapsible design of the cross base facilitates easy deployment, storage, and transportation. While compatible with all flag shapes, it is especially recommended for flags with a height not exceeding 3.2 meters.
Ground spikes offer a robust solution for securely anchoring your display, making them well-suited for applications in fields and soft ground. Crafted from steel with a chrome finish, the base is resistant to rust and remains stable in strong winds, even on uneven terrain. It’s essential to consider that the ground spike is not suitable for loose soil or wood chips, and the ground must be levelled. Furthermore, it is not advised for use with large or extra-large poles.
Double ground spikes offer an ideal solution for larger and heavier poles, making them well-suited for compact terrains and outdoor displays on soft ground. Constructed from sturdy chrome steel, these spikes are rust-proof and designed for enduring durability. The stake is firmly inserted into the ground, providing a solid foundation to support the flag. Its sharp pointed end facilitates easy hammering into the ground, ensuring a straightforward yet effective display.
Furthermore, the flagpole securing spindle is seamlessly integrated with the ground spike, allowing for a 360-degree rotation. This feature ensures the visibility of the flag from all directions. As the spike is driven into the ground, the immediate surroundings remain clear of trip hazards or visually obstructive weighting rings, making it particularly suitable for high-traffic areas.
It’s essential to note that the double ground spike is not suitable for loose soil or wood chips, and the ground must be levelled. This versatile option accommodates all flag shapes and sizes, supports poles up to 5 meters tall, and can withstand wind speeds of up to
18 mph.
The drive-on-foot base proves to be a perfect option for forecourts, car showrooms, or outdoor events. Made from robust galvanised steel, this base is engineered for long-lasting durability. The mechanism involves driving a vehicle onto the foot, creating a stable and level foundation, with the vehicle acting as a counterweight to the flag and pole. The additional weight of the vehicle makes this drive-on-foot base suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, accommodating flag poles of any height. It comes equipped with a rotating spigot for added convenience.
Water-filled bases are recommended when constraints on transport and carrying weights are a consideration. Made from durable polyethylene, the base is lightweight, making it easy to transport to your desired location. It is ideal for displaying flags on flat surfaces, whether indoors or outdoors, and is available in capacities of 15L, 20L, and 30L. The water-filled base can accommodate flags of all shapes and sizes, supporting poles up to 5 meters in height.
Our teardrop flags are offered in an extensive size range, starting from 2.2m tall to an XL height of 4.2m! You have the flexibility to opt for single or double-sided printing, ensuring maximum exposure from both directions. In the case of double-sided printing, the edges are reinforced with hemming for additional strength. You can customize your order with or without a base, and we provide various base options, including cross-type, ground spike, double ground spike, drive-on-foot, and water fill options of 15L, 20L, or 30L.
