Questions

Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.

Feather, teardrop or crest flag: what is the difference?

A feather flag is tall and narrow with a curved top edge, so it shows the most height and suits long, upright text. A teardrop flag is rounder and holds its shape in wind, so the message stays visible from more angles. A crest flag has a sweeping top edge with a wider print area at the top. This page is for Teardrop Flags, in 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m), 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m), 11 ft 6 in (3.5 m) and 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

Should I choose single or double sided printing for a flag?

Single sided flags are printed through, so the back shows a mirror image of the front: text reads backwards from behind. Double sided flags read correctly from both sides, which matters when people pass in both directions, such as by a road. Double sided costs more; the calculator shows both prices. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

Can these flags stay out in the wind?

Flags are made to move in the wind, but take them in when strong winds are forecast: that protects the flag, the pole and anyone nearby. Use the right base for the ground and add weight to water bases. Bring them in overnight if the site is unattended and exposed. A flag that is taken down regularly lasts longer. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

Which base do I need for these flags?

Pick the base for the ground it stands on. The options are small water base, Standard Ground spike, Budget Ground spike, drive on car base, small square base, large water base, concrete base and large cross base. Ground spikes push into grass or soft ground; cross, square and water bases stand on hard ground, with water bases filled for extra weight. A drive-on car base sits under a vehicle wheel, handy on forecourts, and a concrete base is the heaviest option. Choose None if you already have a base. Teardrop Flags are made to order by our UK production partner.

Which height of flag should I choose?

The heights available are 6 ft 11 in, 9 ft 2 in, 11 ft 6 in and 15 ft 1 in. Taller flags are seen from further away, for example from a main road or across a car park. Shorter flags suit shop fronts, indoor venues and places with low overhead obstructions. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

How do I use a water base?

Stand the base where the flag will go, fill it with water through the cap, and screw the cap back on tight before you fit the pole. A full base is heavy, so fill it in place rather than carrying it full. Empty it before you move it or store it, and in freezing weather, so it does not crack. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

Can I order now and send my artwork later?

Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

What file should I upload?

A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

Would these flags work at an event or fair?

Yes. Flags are seen from a distance over crowds and suit outdoor events, with a base to match the ground. Outdoors, check the ties or base again if the wind gets up. Order early enough to allow for turnaround and delivery before the date. Teardrop Flags are made to order by our UK production partner.

Which shape is used for these flags?

Teardrop Flags come with Teardrop as standard. This sets the outline shape. The calculator shows the price and working days for your size and quantity. Every listed size and its price is in the Prices by size table on this page.

Will my brand colours print exactly?

Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

Can someone help me choose the right options for these flags?

Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the flag will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline. You can also ask a question on this page; our team answers and the question may be published to help other buyers. For a price on something the calculator does not cover, use Get a quote. Teardrop Flags are made to order by our UK production partner.

Can I get a VAT invoice?

No., so we do not charge VAT and cannot issue a VAT invoice. You get an order confirmation email with the items, options and total paid, which works as your receipt. Because, the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay for the goods, with delivery shown at checkout. Teardrop Flags are made to order by our UK production partner.

Can I change my artwork after ordering?

Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you confirmed or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

Can I return these flags if I change my mind?

No. These flags are printed to your order, and the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to goods made to your specification (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 28(1)(b)). You can cancel for a full refund before production starts. If an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights apply and we reprint or refund. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

How do I pay?

By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number. Your order goes into production once payment is taken and your order and artwork are confirmed. For a large or unusual order you can ask for a quote first. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

Do I need an account to order?

No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. Teardrop Flags come in 4 listed sizes, from 6 ft 11 in (2.1 m) to 15 ft 1 in (4.6 m).

How do I store and clean these flags?

Let the flag dry fully before you pack it away, then fold or roll it loosely and keep it with the poles in a dry place. Rinse off dirt with cool water and a little mild detergent, and let it air dry; do not iron it or use strong cleaners. Keep poles in order so they go back together quickly next time. Teardrop Flags are made to order by our UK production partner.
