If you search teardrop advertising flags and then send an inquiry that only says “custom flags,” the first supplier reply is usually a clarifying email, not a quote. The buying job is to name the height (S–XL), single-sided reverse or double-sided 3-layer print, and a Cross Base with water bag or an Inground Spike that matches the surface. Use the live custom teardrop flag banners product page to request a quote after those lines are locked.
Short answer: write size, print option, and base on every line
Fact (live product page, fetched 2026-11-11): the quote form lists sizes S 7.5 ft / 230 cm, M 9 ft / 280 cm, L 12.5 ft / 380 cm, and XL 15 ft / 450 cm; print options A: Single Sided Reverse and B: Double Sided 3 Layers; and bases Cross Base with Water Bag and Inground Spike. The complete set includes 1 custom flag, 1 set pole, 1 base, and 1 carry bag. Official FAQ language also says you can order just the teardrop flag or just the hardware, and that pole kits are not interchangeable between heights.
Inference (not an independent lab test): buyers who search “teardrop advertising flags” or “branded teardrop flags” are specifying a standing outdoor or event display, not a manufacturer directory. If the RFQ skips height, print face, or the base that matches pavement versus grass, the quote cannot be complete.

Method: own-site search and traffic, then the live quote form
Practice-verified (this run, 2026-11-11 Asia/Shanghai): we pulled Google Search Console Search Analytics for property https://ipopupbanner.com/ from 2026-10-12 to 2026-11-08 (28 days, lag-aware, dataState=final). The API returned 368 query rows and 92 page rows. Sitewide page-row totals in that window were 15 clicks and 5,800 impressions. We also pulled GA4 property 309537377 for 2026-10-14 to 2026-11-10 (176 sessions / 184 views / 171 users / 30 engaged sessions sitewide). Buffer ledgers for 2026-11-09 through 2026-11-12 record schedule and post IDs only — no like or share counts — so none are claimed here.
Limitations: the queries plotted below each had 0 clicks in-window; GSC may anonymize low-volume queries; same-day GA4 sessions can still be processing; this article does not invent inquiry counts, ad metrics, or third-party search volumes.
In that GSC sample, teardrop advertising flags had 46 impressions (average position about 9.6) and branded teardrop flags had 41 (about 10.9). Both appeared on the existing article /the-uks-top-10-teardrop-flag-manufacturers/, which led all teardrop URLs with 248 impressions. The product page /teardrop-flags-banner/ had 32 impressions in the same window and, in the GA4 window, 5 sessions — the most among teardrop paths. A sizes-and-bases guide already collected 113 impressions, mostly for size questions; this post does not rewrite that job, or the wholesale checklist, or the single- vs double-sided RFQ.
Buyer myth: a manufacturer list is the same as a quote
Fact (own-site GSC, same window): the two strongest commercial teardrop queries in this sample did not appear on the product form. They appeared on a manufacturers-list URL. That page can answer “who makes teardrop flags.” It does not, by itself, capture height, print option, or the base that has to stand on a civic plaza versus a grass field.
Open-web buying-friction writeups (recorded in the research brief, not linked here) describe the same first-order gaps: a spike ordered for pavement, a water bag left unfilled, or rectangle artwork forced into a curved teardrop outline so the logo sits in the narrow tip. Those are third-party observations, not iPopupbanner test results. They do explain why an advertising-flag RFQ has to name the surface and the print layout, not only the brand name.
What the live teardrop form expects you to name
| RFQ field | Live form / on-page options | What to write |
|---|---|---|
| Size | S 7.5 ft / 230 cm; M 9 ft / 280 cm; L 12.5 ft / 380 cm; XL 15 ft / 450 cm | Size code and height on the same line. Pole kits are not interchangeable across those heights. |
| Print option | Single Sided Reverse (one layer, 70–95% bleed on the reverse as standard) or Double Sided 3 Layers (two flags sewn with 100% blackout material in the middle) | SS or DS per design. Official-site wind language: single-reverse flags withstand 30 mph winds; double-sided teardrop flags withstand 17 mph winds, are heavier, and “don’t fly as well.” These are on-page claims, not an independent test. The same page also recommends indoor use or outdoors in low winds. |
| Base | Cross Base with Water Bag (official weight 3.8 kg; hard surfaces such as concrete or footpaths, also usable on grass) or Inground Spike (official weight 1 kg, with a swivel; FAQ: a 20-inch solid metal stake for soil or grass) | Match the surface. Hammer the spike section only, not the swivel barrel (official FAQ). |
| Kit type | Complete set, or flag-only, or hardware-only | “Complete set — flag, pole, [base], carry bag,” or “flag only — match existing [S/M/L/XL] pole,” or “hardware only.” |
| Quantity | Count per size / print / base. Live page: No MOQ (“Design & Buy 1 or 1000 is ok”). | Units per line, not one combined number for mixed specs. |
| Artwork | Your files or free design; approve the digital proof before payment. Official FAQ recommends using the supplier templates when you design the artwork yourself, because the fabric is a closed teardrop, not a rectangle. | Files attached or “free design”; one approver for the proof. |
Poles on the live page are aluminum and fiberglass (the page uses the spelling “aluminium and fibreglass”). Do not invent plate, drive-on, or other bases that are not on the form. A body sentence on the same URL says flags “can be as large as 14 feet,” while the quote form lists XL at 15 ft — this article uses only the form heights and does not treat the 14-foot line as a fifth size.
Teardrop advertising flags — RFQ checklist (eight lines)
- Size code — S 7.5 ft, M 9 ft, L 12.5 ft, or XL 15 ft from the live form only.
- Kit type — complete set, flag-only, or hardware-only (do not leave this blank).
- Base — Cross Base with water bag (hardscape / footpath / civic plaza) or Inground Spike (grass, soil, sports field).
- Print option — single-sided reverse or double-sided 3-layer.
- Quantity — units per size, print option, and base; No MOQ.
- Artwork — files attached or free design; proof before payment; keep the logo in the wide upper body of the teardrop, not in the narrow tip.
- Use scene — sidewalk, civic plaza, trade-show aisle, or sports field (helps design; not a case-study claim).
- Need-by — plan against the live shipping language. The shipping block says you will receive products in 5 to 12 days; step 5 of the order process also says 7 to 10 days depending on production speed. Cite which on-page window you are planning against rather than inventing a third number.
Example RFQ lines (invented scene — not a customer case)
The print face “Calderwick Civic Market / THIS SATURDAY” in the images above is an invented artwork example for this article. It is not a factory photo and not a real customer case study.
- 2 × L (12.5 ft / 380 cm) single-sided reverse, complete kit, Cross Base with water bag — paved civic-plaza hardscape, one-way weekend foot traffic.
- Optional extra line if a spare sock is needed later: 1 × L flag-only, to match the same 12.5 ft pole (do not switch this line to XL).
Official-site facts you can cite
- Complete set: 1 custom flag, 1 pole set, 1 base, 1 Oxford carry bag.
- Flag material: polyester; dye-sublimation printing; dye-sublimated graphics “typically last from 3 to 6 months outdoors under direct sunlight before noticeable fading occurs” (on-page).
- Poles: aluminum and fiberglass; not interchangeable across heights.
- You can order just the teardrop flag or just the hardware (pole kits, bases, bags, and cases).
- Every pole-set order includes a free complementary carry bag (official FAQ).
- No MOQ, free design, and a digital proof before payment are stated on the product page. Free shipping is also stated there, with the 5–12 day and 7–10 day windows above.
- Take flags inside during inclement weather (official FAQ). The U.S. National Weather Service wind safety guidance likewise treats high wind as a reason to secure or take down outdoor items — that is general public-safety advice, not an iPopupbanner wind rating.
FAQ
What comes in a complete custom teardrop flag set?
The live page states: complete set includes 1 custom flag, 1 set pole, 1 base, and 1 carry bag.
What should a teardrop advertising flags RFQ include?
Name the size code (S 7.5 ft, M 9 ft, L 12.5 ft, or XL 15 ft), single-sided reverse or double-sided 3-layer, Cross Base with water bag or Inground Spike matched to the surface, quantity per line, and whether you need a complete kit, flag-only, or hardware-only. Attach artwork or ask for free design, and approve the proof before payment.
Are teardrop flag pole kits interchangeable between sizes?
No. The official FAQ says flags have specific poles made for each height, so the pole kits are not interchangeable. Use the live S / M / L / XL codes on the same RFQ line.
Can I order just the flag or just the hardware?
Yes. The official FAQ asks whether you can order hardware without the teardrop flags and vice versa, and answers: yes — you can order just the teardrop flag, and you can order just the hardware, including pole kits, bases, bags, and cases.
Next step
Lock size, print option, base, kit type, and quantity, then send the line to iPopupbanner on the custom teardrop flag banners quote form. No MOQ, free design, and a digital proof before payment are stated on that page.
