Artwork requirements

  • Supply a press-quality PDF at full size or to scale, with fonts outlined.
  • Images at 100 to 150 dpi at full size; logos in vector for step-and-repeat designs.
  • Keep important content above about 500 mm from the floor, where it will not be hidden by people or decor.
  • Allow a 50 mm safe zone from all edges and account for pole pockets in the design size.
  • For step-and-repeat, size logos so at least two full repeats appear in a typical head-and-shoulders photo.
  • Avoid glossy-looking dark blocks in the centre if flash photography is planned.

Turnaround options

Standard turnaround is confirmed on your quote. Express places your backdrop ahead in the queue when your event is close. Same-day production may be possible for PVC or banner backdrops in standard sizes with print-ready artwork, approved and paid for before the configured cutoff, subject to capacity, material and stand stock. Fabric backdrops that need sublimation and sewing, oversized prints that need joins, pole pockets, design work from scratch and multiple backdrops typically need express or standard turnaround. Production completion and delivery arrival are separate.

FAQs

Will flash photos show glare?
Matt materials greatly reduce glare. Avoid gloss finishes and position lights at an angle to the backdrop for best results.
Can I reuse a backdrop?
Yes. PVC rolls well and fabric folds well. Store PVC rolled with the print facing out, and fabric folded or rolled in a dry place.
Do you supply backdrop stands?
Where stocked, stands can be added to your order. You can also hang backdrops from your own frame or structure using eyelets or pole pockets.
Can you design my party backdrop?
Design can be arranged as a separate artwork service. It takes time, so allow for it when planning, especially for urgent dates.
