What are Teardrop Flags?
Teardrop flags, also known as mayfly flags or teardrop banners, feature a distinctive curved shape with a wide top that tapers to a point at the bottom. This aerodynamic design keeps the flag taut and fully readable even in strong winds where other flag styles would flap and distort. The compact teardrop shape provides excellent space for logos, graphics, and promotional messaging that remains visible from all directions.
Our teardrop flag service covers single-sided flags, double-sided flags, ground spike installations, cross base setups, water-filled bases, and indoor display stands. We handle everything from artwork design assistance to complete flag system delivery, ensuring every flag meets professional standards. Our team specialises in colour matching, fabric selection, and hardware recommendations to deliver results that exceed expectations.
Auckland businesses from retail shops to event organisers trust Falcon Signs for teardrop flags that build brand visibility and deliver consistent promotional impact across every location we serve.

Our Process
Our Teardrop Flags Process
Consultation and Requirements Analysis
We start by understanding your location, intended use, and visibility goals. Based on factors like typical wind exposure, viewing distances, and whether you need indoor or outdoor use, we recommend the optimal flag size and configuration.
Artwork Review and Design Optimisation
Provide your logo and branding elements, and we assess how they translate to the teardrop flag format. The wide top and tapered bottom require specific design considerations to ensure your branding displays effectively across the full flag surface.
Colour Matching and Digital Proofing
We match print colours to your brand guidelines as closely as possible. A digital proof allows you to approve the design before production, ensuring the final flag meets your expectations.
Fabric and Hardware Selection
We advise on fabric weight and hardware type based on your application. Standard flag fabric suits most applications, while specific bases are recommended for grass, hard surfaces, or windy locations.
Dye-Sublimation Printing
Your teardrop flag is printed using dye-sublimation technology that produces vibrant, fade-resistant colours. The print penetrates the fabric fibres for durability that surface printing cannot match.
Quality Assembly and Inspection
We supply complete flag systems including poles, bases, and mounting hardware. All components are assembled, checked for quality, and inspected for print accuracy before dispatch.
Delivery Ready for Installation
Your complete teardrop flag system is delivered ready for immediate installation. Setup requires no tools and takes just minutes for a professional display.

Frequently Asked Questions - Teardrop Flags
Teardrop flags come in multiple standard sizes ranging from 2 metres to 4.5 metres in total height. Smaller sizes work well for indoor exhibitions and pedestrian areas, while larger flags suit roadside locations where visibility from distance is essential. The optimal size depends on your viewing distance and installation environment.
Teardrop flags have a compact, curved shape that stays taut in wind, providing stable readability in exposed locations. Windblade flags have an elongated feather shape that creates more flowing movement. Teardrop flags are better for windy locations where consistent readability matters, while windblade flags create more dynamic visual impact in moderate wind conditions.
Ground spikes work best for grass and soft ground installations at outdoor events or retail locations. Cross bases suit hard surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and exhibition hall floors. Water-filled bases provide weighted stability for windy locations or where ground penetration is not possible. The right choice depends on your installation surface and wind exposure.
Yes, teardrop flags are excellent for indoor applications including trade shows, retail displays, reception areas, and conference venues. Indoor cross bases provide stable mounting without ground penetration, and the taut flag surface remains readable regardless of air conditioning drafts.
Our teardrop flags use 110gsm knitted polyester fabric that balances durability with the lightweight properties needed for the aerodynamic shape to function correctly. This material allows approximately 10-15% print show-through on single-sided flags, while double-sided flags use blocking material between panels for crisp visibility from both directions.
To extend flag life, bring flags inside during severe weather including heavy rain, strong winds over 50km/h, and storms. For cleaning, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild detergent and allow to air dry completely before storage. Store flags loosely rolled rather than tightly folded to prevent permanent creasing.
Yes, we offer double-sided teardrop flags with separate printed panels on each face and light-blocking material between them. This ensures your branding reads correctly from both directions without show-through, maximising exposure for corner positions and high-traffic locations where visibility from multiple angles matters.
