Our backdrops are available in 3 choices of material - fabric, canvas and PVC, along with a selection of finishing options.
Polyester Fabric
- Ideal for stages large and small
- Amazing print quality
- Easy to store, transport and hang
- Fully fireproof
Our Polyester backdrops are the best in the business. The 210gsm Polyester we use is a certified fire-retardant textile and thanks to our dye-sublimation printing method redproduces colour and images perfectly whilst being light enough to transport easily and store folded up. The tight fabric weave prevents glare under stage lights. `
We can print fabric up to 3m wide, and seamlessly join panels together for larger backdrops.
PVC

- Great print quality and colour reproduction
- Incredibly durable for indoor and outdoor use
- Easy to store, clean and maintain
- Fully fireproof
PVC is our most cost-effective option for a no-fuss backdrop. Our PVC banners and backdrops are equally at home with indoor and outdoor use, and are tough enough to withstand heavy use with no cracking, fading, splitting or discolouration. Hems and eyelets are fitted as standard for ease of hanging; eyelets can be substitued for pockets if preferred. Like all our products, this material is a fully certified fireproof substrate.
Canvas

- No glare from lights
- Classy matt texture
- Fully fireproof
Canvas backdrops are full dye-sublimation printed - this means that colour is vibrant and print quality is excellent. The image is essentially dyed into the canvas meaning that it won't flake or peel; you can even machine wash it. The canvas is a heavier weave that our fabric which gives it a slightly more textured appearance. Canvas is the heavier-duty of the two materials.
Our canvas backdrops are printed on fully certified fire retardant material and are available with eyelets, sleeves, pockets and velcro. The maximum seamless width of print is 3m, although larger sizes are available, utilising near invisible seams.
The Woven Canvas material has been chosen specifically for it's lack of glare under stage lights, fire-retardant properties and excellent print handling.
Gloss Satin

- Silky smooth finish
- Looks great under lighting
- Fully fireproof
Satin is our newest addition to the range - a luxury material with a sumptuous gloss finish designed to accentuate the natural wave of the hanging backdrop. Vibrancy of colour on this product is superb and, thanks to it's dense polyester construction, easy to store and transport.
Like all our backdrop materials this is certified fire-retardant and available with all the usual finishing options such as eyelets/velcro/sleeves etc.

Artwork Preparation
Due to nature of printing large items such as backdrops, getting the correct file size is important to ensure a high-quality print.
For backdrops vector artwork can't be beaten. This allows the artwork to be blown up to any size without distortion. For simpler logos and designs we can vectorise your logo for a small fee.
If a vector file is impractical or not available try and create your artwork at a minimum of quarter of the finish size and 150dpi. All artwork should be set up as CMYK.
Remember, when it comes to artwork we're here to help! If you have any queries relating to the preparation and set-up of artwork don't hesitate to contact us.
Artwork can be supplied as tiff, psd, jpeg, eps, ai or pdf format. Please do not supply your artwork as cdr files.
For files larger than 15mb it is not practial to email. Please use one of the following websites to send your file, or upload to your own ftp server:


Alternatively, post a CD with your artwork to us (see contact page for address).
