Teardrop Flag Kitsets

1. What Is Included in a Teardrop Flag Kitset?

2. Teardrop Flag vs Feather Flag

Both styles use similar portable poles and bases, but their shapes suit different designs and locations.

Weather note: Neither style is designed for storms or severe wind. Take portable advertising flags down during strong winds, storms or whenever the display becomes unstable.

3. Teardrop Flag Sizes: Small or Large

Choose the size according to viewing distance, available space and how often the flag will be transported. Both kitsets include a custom-printed flag, matching heavy-duty fibreglass pole set and your selected base.

If you already own compatible hardware, order a custom replacement teardrop flag only.

4. Single-Sided vs Double-Sided Teardrop Flags

Single-Sided or Standard Double-Sided

Single-sided 110gsm polyknit: The design reads correctly on the main side and appears mirrored through the fabric on the reverse. It is the lightest and most economical option for simple logos and designs.

Double-sided standard 120gsm polyknit: Two printed layers with an internal blockout layer make the design read correctly on both sides. This is our most popular double-sided option and provides a good balance of visibility and value.

Premium Double-Sided Satin

Double-sided premium 150gsm satin: Two silver-backed blockout satin layers make the design read correctly on both sides. The smooth fabric produces rich colour and a premium finish, making it ideal when presentation and fine print quality are especially important.

5. Teardrop Flag Bases for Grass, Concrete, Walls and Vehicles

Select the flag base according to the surface, location and frequency of use. You can also compare or purchase our seven flag base options separately. No portable flag base makes a flag suitable for storms or severe weather, so flags should be taken down when conditions become unsafe.

Ground spike: The standard and most popular option for grass, soil and other firm soft-ground locations.

Best for: outdoor events, sports fields, lawns, roadside grass areas and regular business use on soft ground.

10kg or 20kg steel plate base: Strong low-carbon steel bases for hard, level surfaces. The 20kg option provides additional weight where greater stability is required.

Best for: shopfronts, forecourts, showrooms, paved areas and frequent daily use.

Large water tank base: Approximately 14kg when filled with water and around 18kg when filled with sand. It is easier to transport when empty than a steel plate.

Best for: hard surfaces, mobile promotions, events and locations requiring a portable weighted base.

Cross base with water bag: A foldable cross base combined with a PVC water bag weighing approximately 8–9kg when filled.

Best for: indoor events, trade shows and short-term displays where portability is important.

Multi-angle wall bracket: A fixed bracket for mounting the flag to a suitable building or fence at either 0° or 30°.

Best for: permanent shopfront mounting where a ground base is impractical. Installation must be completed securely on a suitable structure.

Car wheel base: A foldable base held securely under a stationary vehicle wheel.

Best for: car yards, open homes, motorsport events, roadside promotions and displays beside parked vehicles.

For a compatible outdoor event setup, a separate gazebo mount flag base is also available. Due to low demand, it is sold separately and is not included among the seven standard kitset base options. If you are unsure which base is appropriate, contact us with a photo or description of the display location before ordering.

9. How to Assemble Your Teardrop Flag Kitset

A teardrop flag normally takes only a few minutes to assemble. Connect the fibreglass pole sections securely, slide the pole through the flag sleeve until the tip reaches the reinforced end, then pull the flag down and attach the bottom cord to the clip on the pole. Tighten the cord so the flag is properly tensioned, then place the pole onto your selected base and allow it to rotate freely with the wind. For full instructions, see our step-by-step teardrop flag assembly guide.

Flag and Banner Maintenance

While our high precision sewing and heavy-duty European ink is at the best of the best in the market, the inevitable wear of time will fade your flags and banners. Here are some quick tips to keep your flags or banners in a longer lifetime:

1. Keep out of direct sunlight when not needed - our UV-resistant European ink still fare better without UV rays

2. Ensure there are NO nearby rough walls, poles or plants that will damage the fabric - constant friction may cause irregular tear, as the number one reason for failure.

3. Make sure the flag or banner is setup correctly - push flag to the end of pole tip and tie the cord stopper accordingly

4. Keep your poles for your teardrop or feather banners away from surrounding objects - avoid pole damage caused by collision with other strong obstacles due to wind

5. Not for very windy days - it's a good idea to take down your large banners if wind speeds exceed 55km/h, your small banners if wind speeds exceed 65km/h

6. Wash only when necessary - when washing do not use detergent, rinse in water only, no washing machine.
