Teardrop Flag Size Comparison
Teardrop Flags
Teardrop flags are a great way to grab attention and promote your business or event, but it's important to consider their placement and care in order to get the most out of them. Pollution and UV exposure can cause the fabric to fade and deteriorate over time, so it's best to position your feather flag in a location that is protected from these elements.
Teardrop flags can be washed in a regular washing machine with everyday detergents on a 40° wash. Make sure to allow your flag to dry completely before storing it to prevent any damage.
To keep your teardrop flag looking its best, be sure to avoid snagging it on its pole or surrounding objects, and make sure to keep poles at a safe distance from each other. In the event of adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds or heavy rain, it's a good idea to dismantle your feather flag to prevent any damage.
The lifespan of a teardrop flag depends on its usage and the local climate. A regularly used flag can last for up to six months, but this can vary depending on the specific conditions it's exposed to.

FAQ's
How do i take care of my flag?
To get the most life out of your flag, it’s important to take good care of it. Here are some tips:
If your flag is intended for outdoor use, bring it indoors or take it down during high winds (over 25 mph). High winds can cause tears and rips in the fabric.
Avoid adding weight to the flag, such as snow or heavy rain.
Choose a location for your flag carefully. Avoid places where it may flap against solid surfaces, which could cause tearing or wear.
Wash your flag regularly to remove dirt and debris and prevent discoloration. Our flags can be dry-cleaned or machine-washed at 30 degrees.
Make sure your flag is completely dry before folding or storing it. To remove creases, it’s best to hang the flag back on its pole.
What material are you flags printed on?
Our flags are printed onto 117gsm Knitted Polyester with dye-sublimation process resulting in 80-90% show-through on the reverse.
Which base is suitable for my flag?
The type of base you require for your base depends on the ground you wish to place it on. For instance, if you are displayed your flag on soft ground it is best to use a ground spike to anchor your flag to, whereas if you are placing the flag on hard ground it is best to use a water base. If you plan to display the flag indoors then a cross-base stand or square plate is the most suitable option.
