Feather Angled vs Convex vs Teardrop Flags
Short answer: pick a feather angled flag for maximum height and motion, a feather convex flag for the same feather look with a smoother curved top, and a teardrop flag when you want the shape that holds tightest in wind. All three are custom printed by dye sublimation, single or double sided, and start at $140 with instant online pricing.

Feather Angled — height and motion
The classic feather with an angled, pointed tip. It reads as the tallest profile and moves the most in a breeze, so it catches attention from across a lot — the popular pick for event entrances and roadside promotion.
Feather Convex — a smoother curved top
The same feather family, but the top edge curves over in a smooth convex arc instead of tapering to a point. It keeps the height and flutter of a feather flag with a slightly more contained, premium-looking outline.
Teardrop — the most stable in wind
A rounded teardrop profile bowed tight onto its pole. Because the fabric is held on more sides, it keeps its shape and flaps less in wind — the pick for exposed, windy spots. Teardrops come in 7, 9 and 11.2 ft.
Which should you pick?
- Maximum height and eye-catching motion → Feather Angled.
- The feather look with a smoother, curved top → Feather Convex.
- Windy or exposed location, or you want the shape to stay readable → Teardrop.

Frequently asked questions
Which flag is best for windy locations?
The teardrop. Its fabric is held on more sides, so it keeps its shape and flaps less than a feather flag in wind.
What's the difference between angled and convex feather flags?
The angled flag tapers to a pointed tip at the top; the convex flag has a smooth curved top edge. Both are the same feather family and the same heights (9, 10.5 and 14 ft).
Can any flag be printed on both sides?
Yes — every shape is available single or double sided in full-colour dye sublimation.
What base do I need?
A ground spike is included for grass. For hard surfaces choose a cross base (+$31) or a metal plate base (+$35).
How much do custom flags cost?
Flags start at $140 with instant online pricing; the price updates as you choose height, sides and base.
