Step And Repeat Banner

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.

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.

Q:
Do you print double-sided banners for the Step and Repeat?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

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.

Q:
Does the banner allow light to pass through it? Does it offer a degree of transparency?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The fabric material does offer the ability for light to be visible through the banner, but the banner is not transparent in nature due to fabric being used. Visible light is likewise more limited with darker color backdrops versus lighter ones.
Q:
Will my banner have seams?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Regardless of the size of banner you select there will be no seams in your banner. The banner is one solid piece. There will be stitching visible both on the front and back side of the banner where the pole pockets and very small hems are stitched. This stitching is virtually unnoticeable, but provides for a clean finish and a higher durability.
Q:
Are the fabric banners a matte or gloss finish?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Your Step and Repeat backdrop will have a vibrant, matte finish when printed on the polyester fabric.
Q:
Do your fabric banners have the ability to stretch?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Polyester fabric does have a small degree of stretchability, but we do not recommend frequent stretching of the product. Doing so could permanently stretch your banner, causing the appearance of the banner to become altered.
Q:
Will the banner sag or bunch up when displayed on the frame?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Because the fabric is not tension fabric, there will be some looseness when it is fully assembled. Most of this slack can be nullified by ensuring your frame is the proper height and width. Any additional slack or looseness is simply a byproduct of using a non tension-based fabric banner.
Q:
Should I be concerned about the fabric banner ripping or tearing?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Without proper care, the fabric banner can be damaged, ripped, or torn. Make sure to keep the banner away from objects that can possibly tear or damage it. To ensure your banner stays in pristine condition, carefully fold and store it in a safe place.
Q:
What kind of printing process do you use for your Step and Repeat banners?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
We use a Dye Sublimation process to print your design on the fabric banner. Dye Sublimation is a method that transfers your design from a paper film to the fabric using a heat press method. The heat permanently ‘dyes’, the design into the fabric, giving you a vibrant, long-lasting banner.
Q:
Are the edges of your Step and Repeat banners hemmed?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
The edges of the fabric banner are hemmed. Though this hem is very small - approximately ¼” wide. It is just big enough to ensure that there isn’t fraying at the edge of your banner. The banner also includes pole pockets at the top and bottom of the banner, which are stitched into the material.
Q:
Do pole pockets affect the printed area of the banner?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
About three inches of your graphic on both the top and the bottom will end up being a part of the pole pocket. That portion will still be visible from the front, but will be wrapped halfway around the pole. We therefore do not recommend having any text within 4 inches of the top or bottom of your design.
