Custom Teardrop Flags

A custom teardrop flag, also called a teardrop banner, teardrop flag banner, teardrop feather flag, or teardrop sign, is a great advertising medium. These draw the attention of people passing by to a certain event or business.

The word teardrop comes from the fact that they are large teardrop-shaped banners or flags with a printed custom design. Most of them attach to a lightweight fiberglass or aluminum teardrop flagpole and stuck into the ground. Other types of teardrop signs attach to some sort of flag stand.

To keep the teardrop sign stretched with or without wind, the flagpole is bendable. Teardrop banners are eye-catching, which helps to draw the attention of passersby and potential customers. Therefore, they are an effective and simple way to advertise events and businesses. They also provide a unique marketing strategy that transcends flyers and posters.
