Printing Guides

Choosing between a feather flag and a teardrop flag starts with your artwork. Both provide a tall advertising format, but their outlines give your logo and lettering different spaces to work within.

At Bright Print Works, both styles use the same listed prices at corresponding sizes and printing selections. You can choose the shape that suits your message without paying a different base price simply because you prefer feather or teardrop.

Feather Flags vs. Teardrop Flags at a Glance

When to Choose a Feather Flag

Start with a feather layout when your design centers on a business name or a short headline arranged along the height of the flag. Its elongated outline can suit lettering that needs a tall, narrow composition.

• Business identification: make your name the main feature.
• Brief promotions: use wording such as “Now Open,” “Sale” or “We Cater.”
• Coordinated displays: repeat the same style and branding across several approved locations.

Check the exact template before deciding how much text will fit. Keep the message readable rather than filling every available part of the flag.

When to Choose a Teardrop Flag

Start with a teardrop layout when you prefer a rounded upper profile and a tapered lower edge. Place the main logo or headline where the template provides enough width, then fit supporting elements around the shape.

• Logo-focused branding: build the design around a recognizable mark.
• Event identification: display an event name or short announcement.
• A different visual outline: choose the curved profile when it suits your brand's presentation.

Avoid placing essential wording too low in the narrowing section. The artwork should follow the template's safe area rather than the outer edge of the flag.

The Same Prices for Both Flag Styles

These prices apply to either feather or teardrop style. Each is for one flag setup with the included ground stake.

Choose Your Printed Sides Separately from Your Shape

Feather and teardrop styles both offer single- and double-sided printing. The shape determines the artwork outline; the printing selection determines whether you prepare artwork for one face or both.

Consider how people will approach your display. If readable wording on both faces is important, explore the double-sided option. The product page requires a front artwork file and a back artwork file for double-sided orders.

Match the Base to Your Display Surface

A ground stake is included with either flag style. Use it where suitable ground and the installation location allow. An optional cross base is available for $15 each.

Check the full assembled height, base footprint, overhead clearance and any required weighting before installation. Choose your setup for the actual surface and conditions rather than choosing a base solely by appearance.
