What Are Step and Repeat Banners?
Often referred to as backdrops, step and repeat banners are typically used as a backdrop for photos at trade shows and other events. They are comprised of one or more repeating logos, hence the name step-and-repeat.
They are a great way to advertise sponsors at an event as well as providing a great place for attendees to take pictures. They provide a great non-intrusive form of advertising.

Care
Your step and repeat banner is machine washable (low cycle, cold water) and can be washed over the lifetime of the banner as needed. To extend the life of the frame please take it apart and store it in the carrying case to prevent any accidental damage to the poles. Use care when removing the fabric banner from the pole set where the adjustable portions of the poles are located so as to avoid ripping the pole pockets. You can also use a steamer to remove wrinkles.

Product Specs
Is it called a ‘Step and Repeat banner’ or a ‘backdrop’? Is there a difference?
Can the Step and Repeat banner be used as a photography backdrop?
What material is the banner made of? Are there any other materials available for Step and Repeat banners?
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.
What are the differences between the polyester fabric banner and a muslin fabric banner? What about canvas, vinyl, and mesh 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.

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.
How many grommet holes are made for step and repeat banners?
None. Our step and repeat banners do not come with grommet holes because they’re set up using metal poles.
Can I have my artwork printed on the front and back of the banner?
No, we print only on one side of the banner.
Do you sell the stand for step and repeat banners?
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.
I just have logos, can you design the step and repeat banner yourself?
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.

Installation & Care
How do I set up my Step and Repeat banner display?
How do I store my banner?
My banner is wrinkled - how do I remove the wrinkles?
How do I wash my banner? Can I use a washing machine to clean my banner? What about a tumble dryer to dry it?
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.
