Teardrop and Feather Flags MelbourneCatch the breeze.
Tall outdoor flags that move in the breeze and catch the eye.
About our teardrop and feather flags
Flags do something flat signs cannot: they move. A teardrop or feather flag standing outside your shop, car yard or event flickers in the breeze, and that movement pulls the eye from a long way down the street. They are one of the simplest ways to tell passers-by that you are open and that something is happening today.
The two shapes behave a little differently. A teardrop flag is pulled tight into a curved drop shape, so your design stays readable even when there is no wind. A feather flag is taller and straighter with a curved top, giving you more printable area and a livelier flutter. Both are printed on a light knitted polyester that lets some wind pass through.
Each flag kit includes the printed flag, a flexible sectional pole and your choice of base. A ground spike pushes into grass or soil. A cross base with a water weight suits footpaths, courtyards and indoor floors. A wheel base sits under a car tyre, which is handy for car yards, food trucks and sports days. The flag spins on its base so it turns with the wind instead of fighting it.
You can order flags printed on one side, where the design shows through in reverse on the back, or double sided with a blockout layer so the message reads correctly from both directions. Single-sided flags are lighter and move more freely. Double-sided flags are better when wording has to be read from either approach.
Keep flag designs bold: a logo, one or two words and strong colour work far better than a paragraph. Our online templates are shaped to each flag so you can see exactly where the curve cuts in. Choose your shape, height and base in the quote form, then upload artwork or design online. Available heights are [FLAG HEIGHTS] and turnaround is currently 3 to 4 business days.

Teardrop and Feather Flags FAQs
What is the difference between a teardrop and a feather flag?
A teardrop flag is held taut in a drop shape and stays readable in still air. A feather flag is taller with more print area and more movement. Choose teardrop for wording and feather for height and impact.
Can I leave my flag out overnight?
It is best to bring flags in overnight and in strong wind or storms. This protects the fabric and pole and makes your flag last much longer.
Which base should I choose?
Use a ground spike for grass, a weighted cross base for hard surfaces, and a wheel base when you can park a vehicle on it.
Can I order a replacement flag without the pole?
Yes. Select flag only in the quote form. Let us know the size and shape of your existing pole kit so the new flag fits.
Will the colours fade?
All outdoor prints fade gradually with constant sun. Bringing the flag inside when you close each day slows this down considerably.
