What is a teardrop flag and how does it work?

A teardrop flag is a curved promotional flag whose arched shape creates constant fabric tension, keeping the design taut and visible with or without wind. Also called a quill flag, it is widely used for outdoor advertising at retail forecourts, exhibitions, and events across Dubai and the UAE.

What teardrop flag sizes are available at Deluxe Printing?

Deluxe Printing offers teardrop flags in three sizes: Small (2.1m x 82cm) for indoor and retail use, Medium (2.62m x 1.1m) for exhibitions and corporate events, and Large (3.33m x 1.1m) for outdoor advertising. Custom sizes are available on request.

What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided teardrop flag printing?

Single-sided teardrop flags show the design on one face with a mirror image on the reverse, a cost-effective option for single-direction viewing. Double-sided flags feature two independent prints, ensuring correct artwork visibility from both sides, ideal for exhibitions and high-traffic locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

A teardrop (or quill) flag is an outdoor advertising flag with a distinctive, tensioned shape that stays fully visible, unlike traditional flags, which go limp without wind. This makes them a favorite for retail forecourts, trade shows, corporate entrances, and events across Dubai and the UAE.

We offer three standard sizes to suit every space and purpose. The Small (2.1m × 82cm) is ideal for retail counters, reception areas, and indoor promotions. The Medium (2.62m × 1.1m) works perfectly for exhibitions, showrooms, and corporate events. The Large (3.33m × 1.1m) is built for maximum outdoor visibility in road-facing forecourts, sporting events, and large-scale activations. Custom sizes are available on request, and our team can advise on the best fit for your venue.

Single-sided printing displays your design on one face, with a mirrored version naturally visible on the reverse. It's the more cost-effective option and works well when your flag is viewed from a single primary direction, such as a storefront or entrance. Double-sided printing uses two fully independent prints joined back-to-back, so your artwork reads clearly and correctly on both sides. This option is best for high-footfall locations, exhibitions, and areas where your audience approaches from multiple directions.

Our teardrop flags are built specifically for the UAE climate, not the European or US conditions most printing suppliers design for. Using UV-resistant dye-sublimation inks and weather-resistant polyester rated to 55°C, our flags maintain their color and structural integrity for 6–12 months in continuous outdoor use. Used indoors or rotated between events, they last significantly longer. Cheap imported flags fade and fray within weeks in Dubai's sun; ours don't.

Submit your artwork before 12pm and receive a digital proof the same day. Standard production completes within 48 hours of proof approval. Rush 24-hour production is available for urgent orders. We offer free delivery across Dubai on qualifying orders, and ship to Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Fujairah, and Ras Al Khaimah, typically arriving the next business day after dispatch. Orders can be placed online, via WhatsApp, or in person at our Dubai production facility.

The minimum order is just 1 unit, with no setup fee for digital artwork. Whether you need a single flag for a shop opening or 100 flags for a nationwide campaign, every order receives the same Pantone-calibrated print quality and full pre-press check. Bulk pricing is available from 5 units, and orders of 10 or more include a dedicated account manager from artwork through to delivery.
