Overview
Our teardrop flag 2.8m printing is for anyone who needs a teardrop flag that looks sharp and lasts the job.
Teardrop flag 2.8m printing: material and finishing
Printed in full colour. You can also add a base to suit the ground: small water base, standard ground spike, budget ground spike, drive on car base, small square base, large water base, concrete base or large cross base and printing on one side or both.
Good jobs for it
Built for events and shop fronts. Events use them at entrances and around stages, where a clean, taut shape looks the part in photos. Shops and cafés stand them outside the door; they keep their shape even with little wind.
Sizes
Teardrop flag 2.8m printing comes like this: it comes in one size, 2.8m. Pick height by where it stands: a pavement needs a shorter flag so it does not tangle with passers-by; an open field suits the tallest.
Ground spike for grass, cross base with a water bag for hard ground.
Artwork and timing
Got artwork? Upload it. No artwork? Use the online designer, or our paid artwork service (1 design, 2 rounds of changes). Either way a person looks over the file first, free. Standard production is 6 working days from when your order and artwork are confirmed. Express gets it done from 4 working days. Saver takes 8 and is there if you are not in a rush. Your teardrop flag 2.8m printing is made to order and dispatched from the UK.
Put up outdoors, a banner, board or flag counts as an advertisement under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007. Most small ones need no application, but the council can tell you if yours does.
We charge £7.95 to send it anywhere on the UK mainland, and nothing once your goods come to £100 or more after discounts. Mainland Highlands postcodes add £10; Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted. Full details are on the delivery page.

Questions
Quick answers about teardrop flag 2.8m printing.
Who looks after the order once I have paid?
FatPrint does. Your artwork is checked by a person first, your teardrop flag 2.8m is made to order, and a courier brings it to you with email tracking. Questions along the way? The question box on this page reaches a person.
Can I check the cost before I order?
It starts at £177.41, the cheapest combination, and changes as you pick options. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.
Can I order several flags at once?
Yes. Anything from 1 up to 99 is priced on this page. The price per piece usually drops as the number goes up, which helps clubs and shops ordering in bulk. Goods worth £100 or more travel free to a UK mainland address; below that, delivery is a flat £7.95 for the whole order.
Will someone look at my file before the teardrop flag 2.8m is printed?
Yes. A person checks every file you upload before printing starts. Paid help is there too: a clean layout from your text and logo (£15), a design from your brief (£35) or a logo redraw (£30), each with one first draft and two rounds of changes.
Is the price shown for this teardrop flag 2.8m order the full price?
Yes, for the goods. The figure on the page is the one you pay at checkout. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.
How long until my teardrop flag 2.8m order ships?
Express gets it out in 4 working days, Standard ships after 6 working days and Saver, the lowest price, after 8 working days. After that, allow 1 to 3 working days with the courier; you get tracking by email. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.
Asked by buyers
How much will the Teardrop Flag 2.8m set me back?
£177.41 is where the Teardrop Flag 2.8m starts, set up as Teardrop, 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m) and none on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).
If I buy the Teardrop Flag 2.8m today, when will it leave you?
As the page first opens, the speeds for the Teardrop Flag 2.8m are Express 4 working days, Standard 6 and Saver 8, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.
Is delivery ever free?
It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. At £177.41 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man.
I cannot design at all. Can someone make the artwork for me?
Yes. When you choose the Artwork option you can pick from: send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Each fee is fixed, sits as its own line in your basket and covers every item on that line. Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
Will my flag read backwards from the other side?
Only if you choose single sided. Single sided print shows through to the back as a mirror image, so text is reversed for anyone behind it. Double sided print is correct on both faces, the better pick beside a road or a path where people walk both ways. It costs more, and both prices show when you switch the option. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
What are the measurements of the Teardrop Flag 2.8m?
It measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m) and costs from £177.41. If that is not quite right for your space, the Teardrop Flag 3.5m or the Teardrop Flag 4.6m may fit better. That price alone takes the goods past £100, so mainland delivery is free. Other settings on the page, such as quantity, adjust the total as you go.
How do feather, teardrop and crest flags differ in shape?
Feather: tall and slim with a curved top, giving the most height, so it suits wording that runs up the flag. Teardrop: a rounder outline that keeps its shape when the wind picks up, so the design can be read from more angles. Crest: a sweeping top edge that widens the printable area near the top. You are looking at the Teardrop Flag 2.8m listing, with a height of 2.8 m.
What happens to this flag on a windy day?
A normal breeze is what flags are for. High winds are different: take the flag down before they arrive, for the sake of the fabric, the pole and anyone close by. Before that, get the setup right, with a base that suits the surface and water bases filled up. At an open field event, a charity fun run for example, taking it in each evening helps it last. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
What should hold this flag up: a spike or a base?
That depends on what is under your feet. On grass or soft soil, such as a school field or a farm shop verge, a ground spike pushes straight in. On paving or tarmac a water, cross or square base does the job; fill the water type to add weight. The car type goes under a vehicle wheel, useful on a car park or forecourt, and the concrete one is the heaviest of all. Here you can pick a standard or budget ground spike, small or large water base, small square base, drive-on car base, large cross base or concrete base. Pick None if you already own one.
Is there a minimum quantity for this flag?
The smallest order is 1 and the largest listed is 99; the list starts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and carries on from there. The price on the page covers every item in that quantity. To compare two quantities fairly, split each total by its number. A bigger run than the list allows can be priced separately on our Get a quote page. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
Can a private person buy a single flag?
Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £177.41, and any bank card will do. At £177.41 the opening price is already over £100, so mainland delivery costs nothing. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order.
I have an event coming up: what is the latest I can place my order for this flag?
Work backwards from the day. Saver needs 8 working days before it ships and Express needs 4, and the courier then takes one to three working days. Add a few spare days to sort your artwork and to put the display up once at home or in the office. Ordering the leaflets and cards for the same stall at the same time helps the goods reach £100, when delivery becomes free. Before delivery, this flag costs from £177.41.
I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the Teardrop Flag 2.8m cost more to send?
The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and this flag leaves us after 8 working days; Express brings that down to 4.
Is there a quicker turnaround for this flag?
Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 4 working days to get the Teardrop Flag 2.8m out, against 8 on Saver, and costs £205.43 on the opening option rather than £177.41. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.
I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?
You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
Which file formats can I upload?
A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
Our wording is not finished yet. Can I still pay now and send it later?
Yes. Pay now and add the file afterwards: uploading after ordering is allowed, so you do not have to wait for the final version. If a volunteer, friend or designer is preparing it, they can send the finished file to you to upload, or get in touch through our Contact page quoting your order number. Nothing goes to print until the file arrives and has been checked, so if there is a date to hit, get the artwork over as soon as you can. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
How do I pick the right sides printed for the Teardrop Flag 2.8m?
One side means the design appears on the front only. Two sides puts print on both faces, handy when people approach from either direction, for example a flag on a pole or a sign that faces two ways. For the Teardrop Flag 2.8m the list runs double Sided print or single Sided print. Try each one on the page: the figure changes as you click, so the cost of every choice is clear.
We have a school fair coming up. Would this flag be suitable?
Flags are great at outdoor fairs and fetes because they can be seen above the crowd. Choose a base that matches the ground you will be on. Outdoors, look at the fixings again if it turns windy. Order with enough time for the making and the courier before the event. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
Can I use this flag at a farmers' market pitch or a charity fun run?
Yes, flags are a common sight at both. For a grassy field or a park, a ground spike is the usual choice; on a market square or car park, go for a base made for hard ground and fill any water base. If runners or shoppers pass on both sides, double sided print keeps your wording the right way round. Take it down if strong winds are forecast. You can add a standard or budget ground spike, small or large water base, small square base, drive-on car base, large cross base or concrete base. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
Base on the Teardrop Flag 2.8m: how do the choices differ?
The base option has 9 settings: large cross base, concrete base, large water base, small square base, drive on car base, Budget Ground spike, Standard Ground spike, none or small water base. Spikes go into grass or soft earth. On a hard surface, use a cross, square or water base, and fill the water base to weigh it down. A drive-on base goes under a car tyre, and for the most weight of all, go for concrete. Switch between them on the page and the total updates straight away, so you can see what each one adds. Before delivery, this flag costs from £177.41.
Which base should we pick for a sports day on grass, and which for a shop front?
On a school field or club pitch, a ground spike pushes into the grass: here that is the Standard Ground Spike or Budget Ground Spike. On paving, tarmac or a shop forecourt a spike cannot go in, so use a base that stands on the surface, such as the Small Water Base, Small Square Base, Large Water Base or Concrete Base. Using the flag in both places? Bases are also sold on their own, so a second one can join the same order. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
How does the drive-on car base hold a flag up?
The base is a flat plate with a socket for the pole. Drive one wheel onto the plate and the weight of the car keeps the flag standing. Good for car dealers, forecourts and event pitches where your vehicle is parked right alongside. Leave a gap so the flag can turn in the wind without brushing the car. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
How do I fill and use a water base for a flag?
Carry it empty, fill it where it will stand. Pour water in through the filler cap, screw the cap down tight, then fit the pole. Full, it is too heavy to move comfortably, so drain it before you pack up or put it away, and drain it in freezing weather too so it does not split. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each flag is made to order for you.
How would I decide between Teardrop Flag 3.5m and Teardrop Flag 2.8m?
Set the Teardrop Flag 2.8m beside the Teardrop Flag 3.5m and a few things differ. Sizes: only 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m) on this page, and only 11 ft 6 in on the other. Opening price: £177.41 on this page and £236.98 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Where do the Teardrop Flag 2.8m and Teardrop Flags differ?
Comparing the Teardrop Flag 2.8m with Teardrop Flags, this is what changes. Sizes: only 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m) on this page, and 4 on the other, the smallest 6 ft 11 in. Opening price: £177.41 on this page and £139.51 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Should I get the Teardrop Flag 2.8m, or would Teardrop Flag 4.6m suit me better?
Set the Teardrop Flag 2.8m beside the Teardrop Flag 4.6m and a few things differ. Sizes: only 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m) on this page, and only 15 ft 1 in on the other. Opening price: £177.41 on this page and £272.46 on the other. Go by the spot it is going in and how long it needs to last, then open both pages and compare the live totals.
Our club needs a big batch of flags, or an odd size. Can you price it?
Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Before delivery, this flag costs from £177.41.
Next year we will want the same flag again. Is reordering easy?
Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. Keep a copy of the print file in a shared folder so whoever orders next year can find it. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
Do I have to register before I can buy?
No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Before delivery, this flag costs from £177.41.
I am not sure which options to pick for this flag. Can someone advise me?
Of course. Tell us three things: where this flag will go, whether it is for one day or for years, and your deadline. Send that through the question box on this page or the Contact page, and a member of the team will suggest options. If what you need is outside the options listed, the Get a quote page lets you describe it and get a price. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
Can I buy the Teardrop Flag 2.8m and other products in the same basket?
Yes. Different products, sizes and quantities can all sit in one basket, each as its own line with its own options. Delivery is charged once for the whole order, £7.95 to the UK mainland, and it is free when the goods reach £100 after discount codes. If two items share a design, choose the option to reuse artwork from another basket item and there is no second artwork fee. Before delivery, this flag costs from £177.41.
Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?
You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
Can I send this flag back if I no longer need it?
Not for a change of mind. This flag is made for your order, and goods made to your specification fall outside the 14-day cancellation right (reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). You can still cancel and get all your money back before production begins. Anything faulty, damaged or wrong is covered by the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and we reprint it or refund you. Before delivery, this flag costs from £177.41.
The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?
Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, this flag costs from £177.41.
I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?
No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
Will my logo colours come out the same as on screen?
Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows. For reference, this flag measures 9 ft 2 in (2.8 m).
Can I change the shape on the Teardrop Flag 2.8m?
Pick the outline you want it cut to. On the Teardrop Flag 2.8m there is no choice to make: Teardrop comes as standard. Your size, quantity and turnaround settle the final figure. A tape measure and a quick sketch of the spot will settle most size questions in a couple of minutes.
How should I clean this flag and put it away?
Dirty? A rinse in cool water with a splash of mild washing liquid, then let it dry in the air. No iron and no harsh cleaners. Always make sure it is completely dry before packing, then roll it up gently, without squeezing it tight, and store it with the poles somewhere dry. Keep the pole sections in their order, so the next set-up is quick. Before delivery, this flag costs from £177.41.
