Why Should You Print Backdrops?
No event is complete without a backdrop that guests can flock to and take pictures for their social platforms. As the popular Internet phrase goes, “pics or it didn’t happen”. Conferences, red carpets, tradeshows, festivals, concerts – it doesn’t matter if it’s a formal or casual activity: a custom backdrop turns every photo opportunity into a keepsake meant to be shown off.
Having a backdrop as part of the décor also emphasizes your event theme and enhances the overall look of the venue. Apart from turning any space into a makeshift photo booth, it can also be used as a background for speakers to keep the audience’s focus on the stage.
Backdrops are also a subtle way to promote sponsors and partners. You can use their brand logos to create a pattern. If you’re holding an internal company event, include your tagline or company values! Once the activity’s finished, you can store it in the free carrying case for future use or use it as office decor.
Since our custom backdrop size is up to 8 ft. x 10 ft., which can fit up to four people, photo studios can order them without the stand to use as backgrounds for portrait shots.

Backdrop
We can print your custom backdrop on 13 oz. vinyl, 18 oz. vinyl, or 9 oz. polyester fabric. The frame is aluminum with plastic grips.
Our custom backdrops come in three sizes: 8 ft. x 8 ft., 8 ft. x 9 ft., and 8 ft. x 10 ft. For reference, the smallest can fit up to three people when taking photos while the largest can fit up to four.
Yes, you can. Although backdrops fall under large format prints, they still require a high resolution since they’re meant to be viewed up close. Make sure that’s it at least 150 dpi (dots per inch) and above. A lower value may result in a pixelated design.
We accept JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, AI, EPS, SVG, and PDF with a maximum file size of 200 MB.
We currently do not offer double-sided backdrops, but we do have some double-sided vinyl banner products that may interest you. Please contact us to request for a custom quote.
For vinyl backdrops, you can wipe off surface dirt using a damp cloth. Backdrops printed on polyester fabric can be machine washed. Use cold water on low spin cycle, and avoid heavy detergents, bleach, and tumble drying.
We include an instruction sheet in every order. Setting up a backdrop only takes 5-10 minutes and can be done by one person.
Yes, you can. To order a replacement backdrop, choose “No Frame (Graphic Only)”.
You may order one custom backdrop, but you’ll get to save more if you buy more.
Yes, a free carrying case is included in every order.
Our standard printing turnaround time is two business days. To check the estimated arrival, type your ZIP code in the field under the “Get Started” button in the order calculator.
Product Specs
Our Step and Repeat banners are made from a 9 oz. polyester fabric material, which provides for a vibrant, durable banner. We currently do not offer any other materials for our Step and Repeat banners.
Polyester fabric is a synthetic, lightweight material that offers exceptional functionality for a banner material. Polyester is durable against fading and has resistance to tearing. Designs are printed using a heat transfer process, providing for a long-lasting, scratch resistant design.
Muslin fabrics are commonly comprised of natural cotton, which can be compared to delicate cotton cloth. Muslin banners are typically used for decorations. Designs are either sewn into the banner itself or screen printed on the material. Muslin banners are strictly for indoor use and are less durable that the polyester counterpart.
Canvas prints or banners are comprised of a thick linen or cotton blend, which exceed the durability of a muslin fabric, but are less durable than a polyester material. Canvas is commonly used as a surface for painting and printing photographs, as well as decorative purposes.
Vinyl is a thick, high-quality material that excels in durability. Our vinyl banners are made of a 13 oz. vinyl and are printed on using UV ink, which offers a fade and scratch resistant design. Vinyl banners are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, are generally weather resistant, and can be easily rolled up or folded for storage.
We’ve found that the best material to use for a step and repeat banner or backdrop is the 9 oz polyester. The rich colors and clear printing combined with the matte appearance make it ideal for picture taking.
We do not offer double-sided banners for the Step and Repeat banner as it is most commonly used as some form of event display or photo backdrop. If you are looking to create a standard double-sided vinyl banner, please contact us for a quote.
Begin by clicking the “Get Started” button on the product page, then choose the blank template option. We also offer a link to a blank template under our “popular templates” section. Once in our design tool, click on the “Upload Image” button under the “Design Tools” tab on the left of the page. Image files can be up to 25MB, so make sure that your file meets that criteria. With your image uploaded into the design tool, you can arrange it and add complementary text to your banner. If you’re having trouble or need additional assistance in designing your banner, you can contact us for free design help or even just for help uploading larger files.
None. Our step and repeat banners do not come with grommet holes because they’re set up using metal poles.
No, we print only on one side of the banner.
No, we don’t sell the stand separately. When you order step and repeat banners from us, the stand and case are already included. However, we also accommodate orders for a graphic without a frame.
Yes, we can. Here at Signs.com, our services are not just limited to custom printing. We also offer free professional design services. Send a request form and our professional graphic designers will gladly provide assistance. Our team can help with turning ideas into design, logo format conversion, and image retouching.
Usage
Installation & Care
For simple dirt removal, you can clean your banner using a wet cloth. This will remove most surface dirt that could accumulate on the banner.
Polyester fabric is also suitable for use in a washing machine on a low spin cycle using cold water. When using a washing machine, avoid heavy detergents and bleach. We do not recommend using a tumble dryer to dry the banner. Instead, let the banner air dry completely before folding for storage or before displaying.
Questions and Answers
Currently, the maximum size we offer for our backdrops is 10' x 8', which is the largest our stand can accommodate. However, if you don’t require a stand, we offer two types of vinyl banners that may suit your needs:
-
13 oz. Vinyl: A durable, cost-effective option ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. It features a matte finish, is tear-resistant, and has an estimated outdoor lifespan of 3–5 years.
-
18 oz. Vinyl: A heavier-duty material offering enhanced durability and a smoother surface. This banner type is suitable for double-sided printing and high-wind environments, with an estimated outdoor lifespan of 5+ years.
