How Much Do Teardrop Banners Cost in Australia? Kitsets, Bases & Printing Explained

At TeardropBannerFlags.com.au, a small single-sided teardrop banner kitset with a ground spike costs $97.90 including GST ($89 excluding GST). Replacement printed fabric starts at $53.90 including GST ($49 excluding GST). Delivery and optional services are additional. Your total depends on the banner size, printed sides, base, quantity and artwork requirements.

This guide explains our current teardrop banner prices, shows how to compare complete kitsets with fabric-only orders, and provides three practical budgets for Australian businesses and events. It covers our store's pricing, not an industry-wide average.

Prices checked: 28 October 2026. All amounts are Australian dollars. GST-inclusive product totals below are calculated using 10% GST. Prices may change; check the linked product and checkout for the current configuration, availability and final order total. No delivery charge or optional artwork service is included in the product tables.

Teardrop Banner Prices at a Glance

Start by deciding whether you need printed fabric only or a complete display. A low fabric-only price is not directly comparable with a kitset that includes a pole and base.

Browse Premium Teardrop Banner Kitsets, replacement teardrop banner fabric and Feather Banner Kitsets to compare the available options.

What Is Included in a Teardrop Banner Kitset?

Our Premium Teardrop Banner Kitset includes a custom printed fabric banner, matching fibreglass poles and the base or mounting option selected with the order. The selected base matters: the starting price applies to the ground-spike configuration, not every base in the range.

The optional Oxford fabric carry bag is purchased separately. When comparing quotes, ask whether a bag refers to a pole bag or a bag intended to hold the wider kitset; those are different inclusions. Also check whether artwork preparation, logo redrawing, urgent production or freight has been included in the quoted total.

Fabric-only orders do not include poles or a base. They can be useful when your existing hardware is compatible and in suitable condition. If the original pole system is unknown, confirm the fit before buying a replacement.

Small vs Large Teardrop Banner Cost

Compare the same base and printing option when assessing the cost of a larger display. Our small teardrop kitset has an approximate assembled height of 2.3m, while the large kitset is approximately 3.6m. These are display heights, not the dimensions of the printed fabric.

With a ground spike and single-sided printing, the small kitset is $97.90 including GST and the large kitset is $152.90 including GST. That is a $55.00 product-price difference including GST for these two configurations.

Choose the size around the display location: available space, viewing direction, transport and the message you need to show. A larger banner is not automatically the better purchase if it makes the entrance crowded or encourages you to add too much small text.

How Much Do Different Bases and Printed Sides Cost?

The following table shows all 24 current teardrop kitset combinations, grouped by size and base. Each cell lists the GST-inclusive product price first, followed by the price excluding GST in brackets. These are complete kitset prices, not standalone base prices.

Check the current teardrop kitset options and prices. Select a base to suit the surface and installation, then compare cost. A ground spike is intended for suitable soft ground; hard surfaces require a suitable freestanding base or another approved mounting arrangement. Wall brackets and gazebo mounts require a suitable support and installation.

For example, changing a small single-sided kitset from a ground spike to a cross base and water bag changes its product price from $97.90 to $141.90 including GST. That $44.00 difference is the change between those kitset configurations, not the retail price of buying a cross base separately.

Read our banner base guide for a fuller comparison. Site conditions still matter: a more expensive or heavier base does not make a portable flag suitable for every wind condition.

Is Double-Sided Printing Worth the Extra Cost?

Single-sided printing uses one printed fabric layer, with mirrored artwork visible through the reverse. Double-sided construction uses two printed faces with a block-out layer between them, so the design can read correctly from both directions.

The extra cost depends on the selected configuration. For a small ground-spike kitset, double-sided printing changes the product total from $97.90 to $152.90 including GST: an additional $55.00. For a small cross-base-and-water-bag kitset, the change is from $141.90 to $185.90 including GST: an additional $44.00.

Think about how people approach the display. Correct-reading artwork on both sides may be useful beside an entrance or path with traffic in both directions. Single-sided printing may suit a budget-conscious promotion where a mirrored reverse is acceptable. Use the price table rather than assuming a fixed upgrade charge applies to every banner.

Three Example Banner Budgets

These are illustrative purchasing scenarios using current listed variant prices. They are product subtotals before delivery and optional services, not complete delivered quotes. Final base selection should suit the location and conditions.

1. A Market Stall on Suitable Soft Ground

For one small single-sided teardrop kitset with a ground spike, budget $97.90 including GST ($89 excluding GST). This gives a starting configuration for an event where inserting a spike is permitted and the ground is suitable.

If the market is held on paving, reassess the base. Keeping the small single-sided banner but choosing a cross base and water bag changes the product budget to $141.90 including GST. Confirm venue requirements before placing the order.

2. A Café Shopfront on a Hard, Level Surface

For one small double-sided teardrop kitset with a 10kg square base, the product subtotal is $207.90 including GST ($189 excluding GST). This is a budgeting example for a configuration with correct-reading artwork on both sides and a flat base; it is not a site-specific stability assessment.

Leave the entrance and pedestrian route clear, and check the intended position before selecting the display. If you need only single-sided printing, the same small kitset with the same square base is $163.90 including GST, reducing the product subtotal by $44.00.

3. Two Banners for a Sports Club Event

Two large double-sided teardrop kitsets with ground spikes cost $415.80 including GST at the listed per-unit price: 2 × $207.90. The subtotal excluding GST is $378.00. This calculation does not assume a bulk discount.

Use this as an initial product budget for suitable soft-ground positions. Confirm the required number of displays, whether each carries different artwork, and the delivery postcode. For larger quantities, request a written quote for the exact configuration instead of assuming a discount from the quantity alone.

How Much Does Replacement Banner Fabric Cost?

If you already own compatible poles and a suitable base, you may only need new printed fabric. The table below covers our teardrop banner-only options. Confirm the current template and pole compatibility before preparing the artwork.

For example, small single-sided replacement fabric is $53.90 including GST, compared with $97.90 for a new small single-sided ground-spike kitset. The $44.00 product-price difference is relevant only if you already have the compatible hardware you need.

Read our replacement banner compatibility guide before reusing another supplier's poles or ordering a different shape. The labels “Small” and “Large” do not establish universal fit.

What Else Affects Your Final Banner Order Total?

• Delivery: the destination, parcel characteristics and selected hardware can affect the charge. Enter the actual delivery address and review checkout; do not assume one advertised metro rate applies to every base or postcode.
• Artwork preparation: a finished production file and a rough logo screenshot require different work. Ask what preparation is included and whether design, redrawing or conversion services are needed.
• Optional accessories: allow for any separate carry bag, additional base or spare part you choose.
• Urgent requirements: confirm production availability, any urgent fee and the delivery method before ordering for a fixed deadline.
• Quantity and configuration: compare the total for the exact mix of sizes, bases and printed sides, including any agreed quote adjustments.

Budget method: start with the GST-inclusive product subtotal, then add the GST-inclusive amounts for delivery and any selected services or accessories. Check that you have not added GST twice. The checkout or written quote should show the final amount before you approve the order.

Production and transit are separate stages. Ask whether a stated turnaround begins after artwork approval, and allow for the time needed to review a proof. For an urgent event, contact our team with your deadline and postcode before relying on a delivery estimate.

Can AI Design Reduce Your Banner Artwork Costs?

AI tools can help you explore a design direction, compare colour schemes or draft a concise creative brief. A clear brief may make the preparation process easier, but AI generation does not automatically remove design costs. A realistic mockup still needs to be checked and prepared for the selected banner template.

Use the original logo, confirm the exact wording and keep the artwork simple enough to read at the intended viewing distance. Check generated spelling, details and image quality. Ask for a price for any production work needed before treating an AI concept as finished artwork.

Copy-and-Paste AI Design Brief

Create a visual concept for a [small/large] teardrop banner for [business or event]. Use [brand colours], the exact headline “[headline]” and a simple [graphic style]. Leave space for my original logo to be placed accurately in final artwork. Keep the message short and avoid small text. Show a clear design that can be adapted to the supplier's confirmed template. Do not invent dimensions, product prices, hardware specifications or print-ready status.

How to Compare Banner Quotes Fairly

Ask every supplier to price the same specification. A cheaper headline price is difficult to assess when one quote covers fabric only and another includes hardware. Record the following details side by side:

• Banner style and size, distinguishing installed height from fabric dimensions.
• Single-sided or double-sided printing and the proposed fabric construction.
• Pole system and exact base or mount.
• Included items and optional accessories.
• Artwork work included, proof approval process and any extra fees.
• GST, delivery destination, production timing and transit allowance.

Choose the configuration that meets the task. Reusing compatible hardware, preparing a clear brief and ordering with time for standard production are practical ways to control spending. Avoid choosing an unsuitable base or a poorly readable layout solely to lower the initial price.

Teardrop Banner Pricing FAQs

What is your cheapest complete teardrop banner kitset?

At the price check on 28 October 2026, the small single-sided kitset with a ground spike is $97.90 including GST ($89 excluding GST), before delivery and optional extras. Confirm the current price and availability on the product page.

Why do some banners start at $49 and others at $89?

In our current range, $49 excluding GST is the starting price for small single-sided printed fabric only. The $89 excluding GST starting kitset includes a small single-sided banner, matching poles and a ground spike. They are different products with different inclusions.

Does a teardrop banner price include a base?

A kitset includes the base or mount you select, and its price changes with that selection. A banner-only product does not include hardware. Check the full product and variant description before comparing totals.

Are the prices in this guide GST-inclusive?

The primary prices and example totals include 10% GST. Prices excluding GST are also shown for comparison with the store's listed product prices. Delivery and optional services remain additional.

Are feather flags more expensive than teardrop banners?

It depends on the configuration. A small single-sided feather kitset with a ground spike is currently $108.90 including GST, compared with $97.90 for the equivalent small teardrop option. Compare the exact size, sides and base rather than assuming the same difference applies throughout both ranges.

Can I get a discount for several banners?

Request a quote with the quantity, sizes, printed sides, bases and artwork requirements. The sports-club example above uses listed per-unit prices and does not assume an unconfirmed discount.

Does AI-generated artwork mean there is no design fee?

No. AI artwork may still need logo correction, text checking, image preparation and layout in the correct production template. Ask what work is required and confirm its cost before approving the order.

Can I get a complete delivered price before ordering?

Yes: select the exact product options and review checkout, or request a written quote including your delivery postcode, artwork needs and deadline. Make sure the total includes GST, delivery and any agreed extras.
