A Compact Double-Sided Teardrop Flag That Reads Both Ways
Not every room has the headroom for a tall blade. The TF2300DF is the compact one in the teardrop range, a rounded sail that fills the gap above a reception desk or a shop doorway without reaching a low ceiling. Both faces carry the print the right way round, so it can sit out where customers pass on either side rather than hugging a wall, and nobody behind it meets a reversed back. Its weight comes from a flat steel plate that the bowed pole slots straight into, leaving nothing to drill, screw or stake. Best suited for reception areas, salons and shop entrances where the ceiling is low and visitors approach from both sides.
Why This Teardrop Display Suits a Tight Indoor Spot
- Fits under a low ceiling: Standing shorter than the hall-height flags, the sail clears the heads of a queue or a counter yet stops well below the lights and beams of a normal room, filling the awkward gap above a desk or a doorway that a taller blade would foul against.
- A rounded sail, not a straight blade: Where the feather flags taper to a point, this one bows out into the soft teardrop curve, a shape that reads as a friendly close-up marker rather than a tall, thin spike, and stays full and open on its bent pole.
- Read from in front and from behind: Printing runs the right way round on each side, so whoever walks up, from the till side or the door side, sees a correct graphic. A single-sided sail manages that from one angle only and shows a ghost on the other.
- Held down by a plate, not a stake: Weight alone keeps it standing. A square steel base sits on the floor, the pole drops into its socket, and the mass anchors the sail with nothing fixed to the ground beneath a busy doorway or counter.
- Clear at close range: Because it lives where people stand near, the compact panel is sized to be read up close rather than across a room, putting a price, an offer or a welcome up at eye level right beside the till or the service point.
- Folds away for the next pitch: Pole into sections, sail into the carry bag supplied, plate under one arm, and a single person moves it between a showroom and a market table without tools. A 1 year guarantee covers any manufacturing faults.
Where This Two-Sided Bow Banner Belongs
| Reception Desks and Lobby Corners | Two-way print earns its keep at a reception, where people arrive past the desk and leave the same way. A greeting or a wayfinding line shows on each face, and the small plate sits beside the counter without pinching the route past it for visitors. |
| Shop Entrances and Doorway Thresholds | An offer reads on the way in and again on the way out, so the back is never blank to a departing customer. Short enough to clear a standard entrance head height, the sail holds its spot on a hard floor right through the trading day. |
| Small Showrooms and Display Corners | Customers circle the stock in a compact showroom, so a corner marker that faces one way loses half of them. Matching artwork on both faces keeps the sail working from every side, and it lifts to a fresh spot in just a few seconds. |
| Counters and Service Points | Up at a till the rounded sail flags a promotion to the queue in front and to anyone crossing behind. Reading cleanly at close range is exactly what the compact format is built for, and the slim base keeps the counter approach open. |
| Salons, Clinics and Waiting Rooms | A treatment menu or a price board suits the low, domestic-scale ceilings of a salon or a clinic, where a hall-height flag would look out of place. Seated clients and passing ones both read it, and the plate sets down on any flat floor. |
| Pop-Up Stands and Market Tables | Shoppers browse a market aisle from both sides, so branding atop a table or a pop-up stand needs to face each of them. The compact sail rolls down into its bag for the journey and stands back up in a couple of minutes at the next pitch. |
Going Outside, or Only Viewed One Way?
This weighted plate is intended for hard, sheltered floors. Where the sail is going outside, the same teardrop shape comes with a ground spike base for grass, or with a drive-on car base that a vehicle wheel holds down on a forecourt. Where a flag only ever shows one face, the single-sided version prints just the front and costs less.

TF2300DF is a 2.2m double-sided glass fibre teardrop flag from Displaysense, a compact rounded sail printed on both faces and supplied with a 10.5kg square steel plate base. Its differentiator is two forward-reading printed faces on a short bow shape that reads correctly from either direction, held standing by a weighted plate with no stake or vehicle. Height 2180mm, width 687mm. Base weight 10.5kg. A printed graphic of 687mm x 1517mm covers each face. Carried on a glass fibre pole bowed to follow the sail, with a GRP whip, a polyester flag and a steel plate base; inner pole diameter 16.8mm. Bears winds to 45 kph (28 mph), Beaufort Scale 6. Set up in about two minutes by hand, with a carry bag and a 1 year guarantee in the box. Suited to reception areas, shop entrances, small showrooms, salons and pop-up stands with low ceilings. There is also a single-sided version, and a ground spike base for grass plus a drive-on car base for hard ground outdoors. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
Where the feather flags rise into a tall, straight blade, the teardrop curves. Its leading edge bows outward and loops back to a rounded point, and the pole bends along that line to hold the familiar tear shape. Kept deliberately short, the sail is pitched at the height of a doorway or a counter rather than a hall, so it speaks to people standing close instead of reaching for a high ceiling. Drawn taut on its bowed pole, the cloth stays full and legible in still indoor air rather than sagging against the mast.
What keeps it upright is a square steel plate that works on weight alone. The pole seats into a central socket and the sheer mass does the rest, so nothing has to be drilled into the floor, driven into the ground or weighted down on top. That makes it a floor-stander for hard, sheltered surfaces, a reception, a shopfloor or a foyer. Move it onto grass and a ground spike replaces the plate, onto a forecourt and a drive-on car base does the same work under a wheel.
The reason it can stand in the middle of a floor is the printing. Each face is laid down as a true, forward-facing image, so the graphic looks correct from the front and from behind, and nobody passing the back finds a washed-out reverse. A single-sided sail wears that backwards shadow on its rear and must face a wall to hide it. Printed twice over, this one points its message both ways at once, which is what lets it hold a spot in open traffic.
Colour goes into the weave, not onto its surface. The method, dye sublimation, uses heat to vaporise the inks and sink them through the polyester threads, which keeps the print vivid in store lighting and lets the sail roll away between uses without cracking. Each side is printed as a single compact panel that matches the short sail. Send the artwork over, both faces come back printed, and the whole thing goes up by hand in about two minutes.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Total Height | 2180mm (2.2m) | Low enough to live happily under a shop or office ceiling, yet tall enough to raise a logo clear over a queue or a service counter. |
| Width | 687mm | The rounded bow reads well at close quarters, and the sail stands on a footprint small enough to tuck in beside a desk, a till or a doorway. |
| Display Type | Double-sided | Both directions get a correct, forward-facing graphic, so the sail can stand right in the middle of the foot traffic instead of flat against a nearby wall. |
| Printed Graphic Size | 687mm x 1517mm per face | Design to this panel once and each side comes back print-ready to raise. Two finished faces from a single upload of your artwork. |
| Pole Material | Glass fibre with GRP whip | The pole bends along the teardrop curve and the whip gives in a draught, so the sail flexes instead of snapping and settles back upright again. |
| Inner Pole Diameter | 16.8mm | Shared right across the whole flag range, so a pole, base or spare from another teardrop or feather in your kit drops straight onto this one. |
| Base | 10.5kg square steel plate base | Weight alone does the anchoring on a flat, hard floor. Switch over to a ground spike for grass, or a drive-on car base for a forecourt outdoors. |
| Base Weight | 10.5kg | Heavy enough to steady the compact sail indoors, yet still light enough for one person to carry the base across the room in a single easy go. |
| Flag Material | Polyester, dye-sublimation printed | Colour sits down in the fibres, not on top of them, so it stays bright under shop lighting and survives being rolled up tightly between jobs. |
| Wind Resistance | Up to 45 kph (28 mph), Beaufort 6 | A draught or a sheltered breeze is shed by the flexing sail. Anything more exposed outdoors calls for the ground spike or the car base instead. |
| Assembly | No-tool, around 2 minutes | Up in a couple of minutes under one pair of hands, with nothing at all to screw or to bolt, as the pole just seats down into the central plate socket. |
| In the Box | Flag, square plate base, carry bag, 1 year guarantee | Flag, plate and carry bag all travel as one box, guaranteed against manufacturing faults for one full year from the date of delivery. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This 2.2m Double-Sided Teardrop Flag
Q: What is the best compact teardrop flag for a reception or shop doorway?
A: For a reception desk or a shop doorway with limited headroom, the TF2300DF is the teardrop to reach for. It stands 2180mm, low enough to clear a normal ceiling, prints the right way round on both faces so arrivals and leavers both read it, and rests on a 10.5kg steel plate that needs no stake on a hard floor.
Q: How does a teardrop banner stay standing on a hard floor?
A: Weight does it. A 10.5kg steel plate lies flat on the floor, the pole seats into a socket at its centre, and the mass of the base alone keeps the sail upright. Nothing is bolted down, staked in or filled with water, so the whole display lifts clear the moment you want to move it.
Q: Will people behind a single-sided flag see a backwards image?
A: On a single-sided print, yes, the reverse shows a faint, mirrored version of the front. The double-sided print avoids that, laying the design the correct way round on each face, so the back reads as cleanly as the front. That is what lets it stand out on a floor where people pass behind it, not just flat against a wall.
Q: Is a compact teardrop suitable for a salon or shop entrance?
A: Yes. Salons, clinics and shops stand it in a doorway, beside a till or in a waiting area, where it greets clients coming and going from both sides. The low height suits a domestic-scale ceiling, the weighted base needs no fixing to the floor, and both printed faces keep the message in view across the room.
Q: Does a small teardrop work on a market stall or pop-up stand?
A: Yes. Sat on a market table or beside a pop-up stand, the bow banner is read by shoppers moving along both sides of the aisle. Two forward-facing graphics cover the whole walkway, the sail packs into its bag for the journey between pitches, and the plate stands it back up in a couple of minutes.
Q: How long does assembly take, and can one person manage it?
A: One person, about two minutes, no tools. The pole pushes together in sections, the printed sail slides down over it, and the assembled pole drops into the plate socket. At 10.5kg the base is light enough to carry out in a single trip and set down wherever it is needed.
Q: What are the height and the printed area on each face?
A: The flag stands 2180mm (2.2m) tall, the short end of the teardrop range. Each of its two faces prints at 687mm x 1517mm, which is the artwork size to design to. The compact proportions are made for reading at close range in a doorway or by a counter, not across a large hall.
Q: What is the difference between a double-sided and a single-sided teardrop flag?
A: Both share the same 2.2m teardrop and 10.5kg plate, and only the print differs. This double-sided version carries a correct graphic on each face and stands in the open with traffic on both sides. The single-sided TF2300SF prints one face, comes in cheaper, and shows a mirrored back, so it sits against a wall or a window. For a two-way spot choose double-sided, for a one-way spot the single saves money.
Q: Do I need double-sided, or will single-sided do?
A: Sightlines settle it. If the sail sits where people pass on both sides, a doorway, an island or a counter end, double-sided pays off because no one meets a blank or backwards face. If it tucks against a wall and only the front is ever seen, single-sided delivers the same front view for less.
Q: Will a 2.2m teardrop fit a low-ceilinged room, and how much wind can it take?
A: At 2180mm it slips under most shop and domestic-scale ceilings where a taller flag would catch a light fitting or a beam. Indoors the 10.5kg plate holds it steady, and it is rated to 45 kph (28 mph) winds, Beaufort Scale 6. Outdoors and exposed, swap to a ground spike or a wheel-weighted car base for a firmer footing.
Q: What is in the box, and is UK delivery free?
A: Inside are the double-sided printed flag, a 10.5kg square steel plate base and a carry bag, all under a 1 year guarantee, and UK mainland delivery is free. Displaysense is based in Hertfordshire and has supplied UK businesses with display products since 1978.
Q: Can I get this taller, single-sided, or set up for outdoors?
A: Yes to all three. The teardrop comes in taller heights for halls and open floors, a single-sided version prints one face for less, and for outdoor use a ground spike fixes it into grass while a drive-on car base anchors it on a forecourt, each taking the place of the 10.5kg plate.
Guides for Teardrop Flags and Compact Floor Impact
A compact double-sided teardrop flag is an easy way to brand a doorway or a counter that people cross from both sides, but where you stand it and what it carries decide how many it turns. The guides below cover catching the eye at events, standing out on a busy exhibition stand, and dressing a market stall, so your sail works the whole space rather than facing only half of it.
Overview
A Compact Double-Sided Teardrop Flag That Reads Both Ways
Not every room has the headroom for a tall blade. The TF2300DF is the compact one in the teardrop range, a rounded sail that fills the gap above a reception desk or a shop doorway without reaching a low ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions About This 2.2m Double-Sided Teardrop Flag
Q: What is the best compact teardrop flag for a reception or shop doorway?
A: For a reception desk or a shop doorway with limited headroom, the TF2300DF is the teardrop to reach for. It stands 2180mm, low enough to clear a normal ceiling, prints the right way round on both faces so arrivals and leavers both read it, and rests on a 10.5kg steel plate that needs no stake on a hard floor.
Q: How does a teardrop banner stay standing on a hard floor?
A: Weight does it. A 10.5kg steel plate lies flat on the floor, the pole seats into a socket at its centre, and the mass of the base alone keeps the sail upright. Nothing is bolted down, staked in or filled with water, so the whole display lifts clear the moment you want to move it.
Q: Will people behind a single-sided flag see a backwards image?
A: On a single-sided print, yes, the reverse shows a faint, mirrored version of the front. The double-sided print avoids that, laying the design the correct way round on each face, so the back reads as cleanly as the front. That is what lets it stand out on a floor where people pass behind it, not just flat against a wall.
Q: Is a compact teardrop suitable for a salon or shop entrance?
A: Yes. Salons, clinics and shops stand it in a doorway, beside a till or in a waiting area, where it greets clients coming and going from both sides. The low height suits a domestic-scale ceiling, the weighted base needs no fixing to the floor, and both printed faces keep the message in view across the room.
Q: Does a small teardrop work on a market stall or pop-up stand?
A: Yes. Sat on a market table or beside a pop-up stand, the bow banner is read by shoppers moving along both sides of the aisle. Two forward-facing graphics cover the whole walkway, the sail packs into its bag for the journey between pitches, and the plate stands it back up in a couple of minutes.
Q: How long does assembly take, and can one person manage it?
A: One person, about two minutes, no tools. The pole pushes together in sections, the printed sail slides down over it, and the assembled pole drops into the plate socket. At 10.5kg the base is light enough to carry out in a single trip and set down wherever it is needed.
Q: What are the height and the printed area on each face?
A: The flag stands 2180mm (2.2m) tall, the short end of the teardrop range. Each of its two faces prints at 687mm x 1517mm, which is the artwork size to design to. The compact proportions are made for reading at close range in a doorway or by a counter, not across a large hall.
Q: What is the difference between a double-sided and a single-sided teardrop flag?
A: Both share the same 2.2m teardrop and 10.5kg plate, and only the print differs. This double-sided version carries a correct graphic on each face and stands in the open with traffic on both sides. The single-sided TF2300SF prints one face, comes in cheaper, and shows a mirrored back, so it sits against a wall or a window. For a two-way spot choose double-sided, for a one-way spot the single saves money.
Q: Do I need double-sided, or will single-sided do?
A: Sightlines settle it. If the sail sits where people pass on both sides, a doorway, an island or a counter end, double-sided pays off because no one meets a blank or backwards face. If it tucks against a wall and only the front is ever seen, single-sided delivers the same front view for less.
Q: Will a 2.2m teardrop fit a low-ceilinged room, and how much wind can it take?
A: At 2180mm it slips under most shop and domestic-scale ceilings where a taller flag would catch a light fitting or a beam. Indoors the 10.5kg plate holds it steady, and it is rated to 45 kph (28 mph) winds, Beaufort Scale 6. Outdoors and exposed, swap to a ground spike or a wheel-weighted car base for a firmer footing.
Q: What is in the box, and is UK delivery free?
A: Inside are the double-sided printed flag, a 10.5kg square steel plate base and a carry bag, all under a 1 year guarantee, and UK mainland delivery is free. Displaysense is based in Hertfordshire and has supplied UK businesses with display products since 1978.
Q: Can I get this taller, single-sided, or set up for outdoors?
A: Yes to all three. The teardrop comes in taller heights for halls and open floors, a single-sided version prints one face for less, and for outdoor use a ground spike fixes it into grass while a drive-on car base anchors it on a forecourt, each taking the place of the 10.5kg plate.

Guides for Teardrop Flags and Compact Floor Impact
A compact double-sided teardrop flag is an easy way to brand a doorway or a counter that people cross from both sides, but where you stand it and what it carries decide how many it turns. The guides below cover catching the eye at events, standing out on a busy exhibition stand, and dressing a market stall, so your sail works the whole space rather than facing only half of it.

A Compact Double-Sided Teardrop Flag That Reads Both Ways
Not every room has the headroom for a tall blade. The TF2300DF is the compact one in the teardrop range, a rounded sail that fills the gap above a reception desk or a shop doorway without reaching a low ceiling. Both faces carry the print the right way round, so it can sit out where customers pass on either side rather than hugging a wall, and nobody behind it meets a reversed back. Its weight comes from a flat steel plate that the bowed pole slots straight into, leaving nothing to drill, screw or stake. Best suited for reception areas, salons and shop entrances where the ceiling is low and visitors approach from both sides.
Why This Teardrop Display Suits a Tight Indoor Spot
- Fits under a low ceiling: Standing shorter than the hall-height flags, the sail clears the heads of a queue or a counter yet stops well below the lights and beams of a normal room, filling the awkward gap above a desk or a doorway that a taller blade would foul against.
- A rounded sail, not a straight blade: Where the feather flags taper to a point, this one bows out into the soft teardrop curve, a shape that reads as a friendly close-up marker rather than a tall, thin spike, and stays full and open on its bent pole.
- Read from in front and from behind: Printing runs the right way round on each side, so whoever walks up, from the till side or the door side, sees a correct graphic. A single-sided sail manages that from one angle only and shows a ghost on the other.
- Held down by a plate, not a stake: Weight alone keeps it standing. A square steel base sits on the floor, the pole drops into its socket, and the mass anchors the sail with nothing fixed to the ground beneath a busy doorway or counter.
- Clear at close range: Because it lives where people stand near, the compact panel is sized to be read up close rather than across a room, putting a price, an offer or a welcome up at eye level right beside the till or the service point.
- Folds away for the next pitch: Pole into sections, sail into the carry bag supplied, plate under one arm, and a single person moves it between a showroom and a market table without tools. A 1 year guarantee covers any manufacturing faults.
Where This Two-Sided Bow Banner Belongs
| Reception Desks and Lobby Corners | Two-way print earns its keep at a reception, where people arrive past the desk and leave the same way. A greeting or a wayfinding line shows on each face, and the small plate sits beside the counter without pinching the route past it for visitors. |
| Shop Entrances and Doorway Thresholds | An offer reads on the way in and again on the way out, so the back is never blank to a departing customer. Short enough to clear a standard entrance head height, the sail holds its spot on a hard floor right through the trading day. |
| Small Showrooms and Display Corners | Customers circle the stock in a compact showroom, so a corner marker that faces one way loses half of them. Matching artwork on both faces keeps the sail working from every side, and it lifts to a fresh spot in just a few seconds. |
| Counters and Service Points | Up at a till the rounded sail flags a promotion to the queue in front and to anyone crossing behind. Reading cleanly at close range is exactly what the compact format is built for, and the slim base keeps the counter approach open. |
| Salons, Clinics and Waiting Rooms | A treatment menu or a price board suits the low, domestic-scale ceilings of a salon or a clinic, where a hall-height flag would look out of place. Seated clients and passing ones both read it, and the plate sets down on any flat floor. |
| Pop-Up Stands and Market Tables | Shoppers browse a market aisle from both sides, so branding atop a table or a pop-up stand needs to face each of them. The compact sail rolls down into its bag for the journey and stands back up in a couple of minutes at the next pitch. |
Going Outside, or Only Viewed One Way?
This weighted plate is intended for hard, sheltered floors. Where the sail is going outside, the same teardrop shape comes with a ground spike base for grass, or with a drive-on car base that a vehicle wheel holds down on a forecourt. Where a flag only ever shows one face, the single-sided version prints just the front and costs less.

TF2300DF is a 2.2m double-sided glass fibre teardrop flag from Displaysense, a compact rounded sail printed on both faces and supplied with a 10.5kg square steel plate base. Its differentiator is two forward-reading printed faces on a short bow shape that reads correctly from either direction, held standing by a weighted plate with no stake or vehicle. Height 2180mm, width 687mm. Base weight 10.5kg. A printed graphic of 687mm x 1517mm covers each face. Carried on a glass fibre pole bowed to follow the sail, with a GRP whip, a polyester flag and a steel plate base; inner pole diameter 16.8mm. Bears winds to 45 kph (28 mph), Beaufort Scale 6. Set up in about two minutes by hand, with a carry bag and a 1 year guarantee in the box. Suited to reception areas, shop entrances, small showrooms, salons and pop-up stands with low ceilings. There is also a single-sided version, and a ground spike base for grass plus a drive-on car base for hard ground outdoors. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978.
Where the feather flags rise into a tall, straight blade, the teardrop curves. Its leading edge bows outward and loops back to a rounded point, and the pole bends along that line to hold the familiar tear shape. Kept deliberately short, the sail is pitched at the height of a doorway or a counter rather than a hall, so it speaks to people standing close instead of reaching for a high ceiling. Drawn taut on its bowed pole, the cloth stays full and legible in still indoor air rather than sagging against the mast.
What keeps it upright is a square steel plate that works on weight alone. The pole seats into a central socket and the sheer mass does the rest, so nothing has to be drilled into the floor, driven into the ground or weighted down on top. That makes it a floor-stander for hard, sheltered surfaces, a reception, a shopfloor or a foyer. Move it onto grass and a ground spike replaces the plate, onto a forecourt and a drive-on car base does the same work under a wheel.
The reason it can stand in the middle of a floor is the printing. Each face is laid down as a true, forward-facing image, so the graphic looks correct from the front and from behind, and nobody passing the back finds a washed-out reverse. A single-sided sail wears that backwards shadow on its rear and must face a wall to hide it. Printed twice over, this one points its message both ways at once, which is what lets it hold a spot in open traffic.
Colour goes into the weave, not onto its surface. The method, dye sublimation, uses heat to vaporise the inks and sink them through the polyester threads, which keeps the print vivid in store lighting and lets the sail roll away between uses without cracking. Each side is printed as a single compact panel that matches the short sail. Send the artwork over, both faces come back printed, and the whole thing goes up by hand in about two minutes.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Total Height | 2180mm (2.2m) | Low enough to live happily under a shop or office ceiling, yet tall enough to raise a logo clear over a queue or a service counter. |
| Width | 687mm | The rounded bow reads well at close quarters, and the sail stands on a footprint small enough to tuck in beside a desk, a till or a doorway. |
| Display Type | Double-sided | Both directions get a correct, forward-facing graphic, so the sail can stand right in the middle of the foot traffic instead of flat against a nearby wall. |
| Printed Graphic Size | 687mm x 1517mm per face | Design to this panel once and each side comes back print-ready to raise. Two finished faces from a single upload of your artwork. |
| Pole Material | Glass fibre with GRP whip | The pole bends along the teardrop curve and the whip gives in a draught, so the sail flexes instead of snapping and settles back upright again. |
| Inner Pole Diameter | 16.8mm | Shared right across the whole flag range, so a pole, base or spare from another teardrop or feather in your kit drops straight onto this one. |
| Base | 10.5kg square steel plate base | Weight alone does the anchoring on a flat, hard floor. Switch over to a ground spike for grass, or a drive-on car base for a forecourt outdoors. |
| Base Weight | 10.5kg | Heavy enough to steady the compact sail indoors, yet still light enough for one person to carry the base across the room in a single easy go. |
| Flag Material | Polyester, dye-sublimation printed | Colour sits down in the fibres, not on top of them, so it stays bright under shop lighting and survives being rolled up tightly between jobs. |
| Wind Resistance | Up to 45 kph (28 mph), Beaufort 6 | A draught or a sheltered breeze is shed by the flexing sail. Anything more exposed outdoors calls for the ground spike or the car base instead. |
| Assembly | No-tool, around 2 minutes | Up in a couple of minutes under one pair of hands, with nothing at all to screw or to bolt, as the pole just seats down into the central plate socket. |
| In the Box | Flag, square plate base, carry bag, 1 year guarantee | Flag, plate and carry bag all travel as one box, guaranteed against manufacturing faults for one full year from the date of delivery. |

Frequently Asked Questions About This 2.2m Double-Sided Teardrop Flag
Q: What is the best compact teardrop flag for a reception or shop doorway?
A: For a reception desk or a shop doorway with limited headroom, the TF2300DF is the teardrop to reach for. It stands 2180mm, low enough to clear a normal ceiling, prints the right way round on both faces so arrivals and leavers both read it, and rests on a 10.5kg steel plate that needs no stake on a hard floor.
Q: How does a teardrop banner stay standing on a hard floor?
A: Weight does it. A 10.5kg steel plate lies flat on the floor, the pole seats into a socket at its centre, and the mass of the base alone keeps the sail upright. Nothing is bolted down, staked in or filled with water, so the whole display lifts clear the moment you want to move it.
Q: Will people behind a single-sided flag see a backwards image?
A: On a single-sided print, yes, the reverse shows a faint, mirrored version of the front. The double-sided print avoids that, laying the design the correct way round on each face, so the back reads as cleanly as the front. That is what lets it stand out on a floor where people pass behind it, not just flat against a wall.
Q: Is a compact teardrop suitable for a salon or shop entrance?
A: Yes. Salons, clinics and shops stand it in a doorway, beside a till or in a waiting area, where it greets clients coming and going from both sides. The low height suits a domestic-scale ceiling, the weighted base needs no fixing to the floor, and both printed faces keep the message in view across the room.
Q: Does a small teardrop work on a market stall or pop-up stand?
A: Yes. Sat on a market table or beside a pop-up stand, the bow banner is read by shoppers moving along both sides of the aisle. Two forward-facing graphics cover the whole walkway, the sail packs into its bag for the journey between pitches, and the plate stands it back up in a couple of minutes.
Q: How long does assembly take, and can one person manage it?
A: One person, about two minutes, no tools. The pole pushes together in sections, the printed sail slides down over it, and the assembled pole drops into the plate socket. At 10.5kg the base is light enough to carry out in a single trip and set down wherever it is needed.
Q: What are the height and the printed area on each face?
A: The flag stands 2180mm (2.2m) tall, the short end of the teardrop range. Each of its two faces prints at 687mm x 1517mm, which is the artwork size to design to. The compact proportions are made for reading at close range in a doorway or by a counter, not across a large hall.
Q: What is the difference between a double-sided and a single-sided teardrop flag?
A: Both share the same 2.2m teardrop and 10.5kg plate, and only the print differs. This double-sided version carries a correct graphic on each face and stands in the open with traffic on both sides. The single-sided TF2300SF prints one face, comes in cheaper, and shows a mirrored back, so it sits against a wall or a window. For a two-way spot choose double-sided, for a one-way spot the single saves money.
Q: Do I need double-sided, or will single-sided do?
A: Sightlines settle it. If the sail sits where people pass on both sides, a doorway, an island or a counter end, double-sided pays off because no one meets a blank or backwards face. If it tucks against a wall and only the front is ever seen, single-sided delivers the same front view for less.
Q: Will a 2.2m teardrop fit a low-ceilinged room, and how much wind can it take?
A: At 2180mm it slips under most shop and domestic-scale ceilings where a taller flag would catch a light fitting or a beam. Indoors the 10.5kg plate holds it steady, and it is rated to 45 kph (28 mph) winds, Beaufort Scale 6. Outdoors and exposed, swap to a ground spike or a wheel-weighted car base for a firmer footing.
Q: What is in the box, and is UK delivery free?
A: Inside are the double-sided printed flag, a 10.5kg square steel plate base and a carry bag, all under a 1 year guarantee, and UK mainland delivery is free. Displaysense is based in Hertfordshire and has supplied UK businesses with display products since 1978.
Q: Can I get this taller, single-sided, or set up for outdoors?
A: Yes to all three. The teardrop comes in taller heights for halls and open floors, a single-sided version prints one face for less, and for outdoor use a ground spike fixes it into grass while a drive-on car base anchors it on a forecourt, each taking the place of the 10.5kg plate.
Guides for Teardrop Flags and Compact Floor Impact
A compact double-sided teardrop flag is an easy way to brand a doorway or a counter that people cross from both sides, but where you stand it and what it carries decide how many it turns.

| Printed Graphic Size | 687mm x 1517mm per face | Design to this panel once and each side comes back print-ready to raise. Two finished faces from a single upload of your artwork. |
| Pole Material | Glass fibre with GRP whip | The pole bends along the teardrop curve and the whip gives in a draught, so the sail flexes instead of snapping and settles back upright again. |
| Inner Pole Diameter | 16.8mm | Shared right across the whole flag range, so a pole, base or spare from another teardrop or feather in your kit drops straight onto this one. |
| Base | 10.5kg square steel plate base | Weight alone does the anchoring on a flat, hard floor. Switch over to a ground spike for grass, or a drive-on car base for a forecourt outdoors. |
| Base Weight | 10.5kg | Heavy enough to steady the compact sail indoors, yet still light enough for one person to carry the base across the room in a single easy go. |
| Flag Material | Polyester, dye-sublimation printed | Colour sits down in the fibres, not on top of them, so it stays bright under shop lighting and survives being rolled up tightly between jobs. |
| Wind Resistance | Up to 45 kph (28 mph), Beaufort 6 | A draught or a sheltered breeze is shed by the flexing sail. Anything more exposed outdoors calls for the ground spike or the car base instead. |
| Assembly | No-tool, around 2 minutes | Up in a couple of minutes under one pair of hands, with nothing at all to screw or to bolt, as the pole just seats down into the central plate socket. |
| In the Box | Flag, square plate base, carry bag, 1 year guarantee | Flag, plate and carry bag all travel as one box, guaranteed against manufacturing faults for one full year from the date of delivery. |

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About This 2.2m Double-Sided Teardrop Flag
Q: What is the best compact teardrop flag for a reception or shop doorway?
A: For a reception desk or a shop doorway with limited headroom, the TF2300DF is the teardrop to reach for. It stands 2180mm, low enough to clear a normal ceiling, prints the right way round on both faces so arrivals and leavers both read it, and rests on a 10.5kg steel plate that needs no stake on a hard floor.
Q: How does a teardrop banner stay standing on a hard floor?
A: Weight does it. A 10.5kg steel plate lies flat on the floor, the pole seats into a socket at its centre, and the mass of the base alone keeps the sail upright. Nothing is bolted down, staked in or filled with water, so the whole display lifts clear the moment you want to move it.
Q: Will people behind a single-sided flag see a backwards image?
A: On a single-sided print, yes, the reverse shows a faint, mirrored version of the front. The double-sided print avoids that, laying the design the correct way round on each face, so the back reads as cleanly as the front. That is what lets it stand out on a floor where people pass behind it, not just flat against a wall.
Q: Is a compact teardrop suitable for a salon or shop entrance?
A: Yes. Salons, clinics and shops stand it in a doorway, beside a till or in a waiting area, where it greets clients coming and going from both sides. The low height suits a domestic-scale ceiling, the weighted base needs no fixing to the floor, and both printed faces keep the message in view across the room.
Q: Does a small teardrop work on a market stall or pop-up stand?
A: Yes. Sat on a market table or beside a pop-up stand, the bow banner is read by shoppers moving along both sides of the aisle. Two forward-facing graphics cover the whole walkway, the sail packs into its bag for the journey between pitches, and the plate stands it back up in a couple of minutes.
Q: How long does assembly take, and can one person manage it?
A: One person, about two minutes, no tools. The pole pushes together in sections, the printed sail slides down over it, and the assembled pole drops into the plate socket. At 10.5kg the base is light enough to carry out in a single trip and set down wherever it is needed.
Q: What are the height and the printed area on each face?
A: The flag stands 2180mm (2.2m) tall, the short end of the teardrop range. Each of its two faces prints at 687mm x 1517mm, which is the artwork size to design to. The compact proportions are made for reading at close range in a doorway or by a counter, not across a large hall.
Q: What is the difference between a double-sided and a single-sided teardrop flag?
A: Both share the same 2.2m teardrop and 10.5kg plate, and only the print differs. This double-sided version carries a correct graphic on each face and stands in the open with traffic on both sides. The single-sided TF2300SF prints one face, comes in cheaper, and shows a mirrored back, so it sits against a wall or a window. For a two-way spot choose double-sided, for a one-way spot the single saves money.
Q: Do I need double-sided, or will single-sided do?
A: Sightlines settle it. If the sail sits where people pass on both sides, a doorway, an island or a counter end, double-sided pays off because no one meets a blank or backwards face. If it tucks against a wall and only the front is ever seen, single-sided delivers the same front view for less.
Q: Will a 2.2m teardrop fit a low-ceilinged room, and how much wind can it take?
A: At 2180mm it slips under most shop and domestic-scale ceilings where a taller flag would catch a light fitting or a beam. Indoors the 10.5kg plate holds it steady, and it is rated to 45 kph (28 mph) winds, Beaufort Scale 6. Outdoors and exposed, swap to a ground spike or a wheel-weighted car base for a firmer footing.
Q: What is in the box, and is UK delivery free?
A: Inside are the double-sided printed flag, a 10.5kg square steel plate base and a carry bag, all under a 1 year guarantee, and UK mainland delivery is free. Displaysense is based in Hertfordshire and has supplied UK businesses with display products since 1978.
Q: Can I get this taller, single-sided, or set up for outdoors?
A: Yes to all three. The teardrop comes in taller heights for halls and open floors, a single-sided version prints one face for less, and for outdoor use a ground spike fixes it into grass while a drive-on car base anchors it on a forecourt, each taking the place of the 10.5kg plate.

Guides for Teardrop Flags and Compact Floor Impact
A compact double-sided teardrop flag is an easy way to brand a doorway or a counter that people cross from both sides, but where you stand it and what it carries decide how many it turns. The guides below cover catching the eye at events, standing out on a busy exhibition stand, and dressing a market stall, so your sail works the whole space rather than facing only half of it.
