Frequently Asked Questions
1. Aren’t all Teardrop Banners the same?
As with most things the range of quality in the Teardrop Banner market is large. Some of the features that distinguish ours as the best are detailed below or see

ExpandaBrand pioneered the
True Double Sided concept. With a Single Sided banner we print on one side and a
mirror image can be seen on the reverse side. This is something some manufacturers call ‘double sided’.
With True Double sided printing we print on two specially treated pieces of fabric. The treatment makes the fabric opaque hence the designs on each side will not show through or interfere with each other. As a result you can even have different designs on each side.
True Double Sided is available for the
Tear Drop Banners,
Wing Banners and
Feather Banners
As with most printing scenarios there are several factors that will influence the price of our products. These include;
quantity,
print type,
mounting options etc. In order to provide accurate
quotes and make sure you are not paying for something you don’t need we prefer to get as much information as possible by asking the right questions.
Once we have finalized what you want we will send out an
official order form for you to sign.
After this we need to get the artwork together. Either we can send you the appropriate template and you may get your own designer to layup the artwork
according to our guidelines or you can send us what artwork you have in electronic format plus a short brief
and we will prepare 3 options for you to choose from. Once you have approved the artwork proof, sit back and wait to be impressed.
This is a common question but one that does not have a simple answer. The main factors determining the life of any banner are exposure to
sun light, pollution (diesel fumes especially) and
wind. Other factors are the colours on the banner and the actual design of the banner.
The extreme case is a banner left out 24/7 on a busy road in a hot climate. We have seen our banners in these scenarios last between
12-18 months.
For most of the products we can print one or one thousand. Only the Mini and Micro Flying Banners have a minimum of 5 units.
