Telescopic and teardrop flags

Outdoor flags move in the wind and catch the eye from a distance, which makes them excellent for drawing attention to an entrance, event or promotion. We print telescopic, teardrop and feather-style flags with bases to suit grass, paving or indoor floors.

Flag shapes

  • Teardrop flags – a curved teardrop shape that holds its form, even in light wind, so your logo stays readable.
  • Feather or sharkfin flags – tall, narrow flags that give height and fit lots of vertical text.
  • Telescopic flags – rectangular flags on an extendable pole, giving a traditional flag look with height you can adjust.
  • Single or double-sided prints – double-sided means the artwork reads correctly from both sides.

Bases and fittings

Choose a base to suit where the flag will stand:

  • Ground spike – pushed into grass or soil at sports fields, outdoor markets and events.
  • Cross base – for hard surfaces such as paving and indoor floors, often used with a water bag for weight.
  • Weighted plate bases – for car parks and shopfronts.
  • Car wheel bases – the vehicle wheel holds the flag, popular at dealerships and outdoor events.

Where flags work well

Flags are popular at shop entrances and car dealerships, on the edges of sports fields and school events, at outdoor markets and expos, at property show days and next to branded gazebos. Several flags in a row create a strong branded perimeter. For indoor events, flags can stand beside pull-up banners for extra height.

Artwork tips

  • Keep your logo near the top, where the flag is widest and highest.
  • Use bold colours and very few words.
  • Remember the flag curves and moves: fine detail gets lost.
  • Use our size template so the design fits the shape.

Frequently asked questions

Which flag is right for windy areas?
Teardrop flags hold their shape well. For very windy sites, a heavier base helps, and flags should be taken down in strong wind.
Can I replace only the flag print?
Replacement prints can often be made for an existing pole. Tell us the make and size of the pole.
Can flags be used indoors?
Yes, with a cross base or weighted base on a hard floor.
