What material is best for stage backdrops: Fabric or Vinyl?

It depends on your needs! Fabric stage backdrops (often called Dye-Sublimated Poly-Knit) are preferred for indoor events like theatre and corporate shows because they are lightweight, fold easily, and are non-glare. Vinyl backdrops (PVC) are more durable, weather-resistant, and ideal for outdoor concerts or long-term installations.

How long does it take to print custom stage backdrops?

We offer one of the fastest turnaround times in the UK. Our standard production for custom stage backdrops is 4-5 working days from design sign-off. We also offer an express 2-day printing option for urgent events, ensuring you get your backdrop when you need it.

Can I order fire-rated stage backdrops?

Yes, absolutely. Safety is paramount, especially for public events. All of our fabric and PVC stage backdrops are printed on materials that meet UK and European fire safety standards. Please specify your need for B1 Fire Rated backdrops when ordering.

Don’t worry. We check every file before it prints.

Every order gets a free artwork check and a proof to approve. Nothing goes to print until you’ve said yes.

1. File type

PDF is best for the sharpest result, especially for text and logos. PNG or JPG are fine for photos and Canva designs. Got something else, like a Word document, PowerPoint or a phone photo? Send it anyway and we’ll tell you if it’ll work.

2. Size & shape

Design to the exact size of your banner, or the same shape (for example 2:1 for a 2m × 1m banner). If the shape is different, your artwork gets stretched or cropped.

Use our free template. It shows the exact size, the bleed area and the safe area.
Keep text and logos away from the edges. Edges are hemmed, stitched or wrapped round the frame, so anything too close can get cut off.
Roller banners: check you’ve ordered the same width you designed for (800mm and 850mm are different sizes).

3. Resolution (will it be sharp?)

Aim for 150dpi or higher at full size. For close-up items like roller banners, backdrops and tablecloths, 300dpi is ideal. Logos pulled off a website or social media are usually too low quality. If yours is, we’ll tell you before printing and help you find a better version.

4. Colour (will it match my brand?)

Screens show colour in RGB, but printers use CMYK, so bright reds, oranges and blues can print a little duller. For an exact brand match, send your CMYK or Pantone codes and we’ll match them. Deep blacks on fabric backdrops print slightly softer than on PVC. Ask us if a true black really matters for your design.

5. Made it in Canva or AI?

No problem. From Canva: download as PDF Print. AI-generated images often look great on screen but fall apart when blown up to banner size. Send it over and we’ll make it print-ready, or rebuild it if we need to.

6. Ordering more than one design?

Add each design to your basket separately and upload its own file. Then email us your order number, which file goes with which product, and how many of each.

7. No artwork? Not sure?

Send us your logo, your wording and any ideas, and our designers will put it together for you. Free artwork help comes with every order.

⏱ In a rush?

Get your artwork and payment to us by 11am for same-day printing. The sooner we have your file, the sooner we can check it and send your proof.

What is 210gsm polyester, and why is it used for stage backdrops?

210gsm polyester is a medium-weight fabric that is durable, wrinkle-resistant, and provides a smooth surface for high-quality printing. It is commonly used for stage backdrops because of its vibrant colour reproduction, easy handling, and professional appearance.

Is 210gsm polyester suitable for both indoor and outdoor events?

Yes, 210gsm polyester is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is tear-resistant and dries quickly if exposed to moisture, making it a great choice for event backdrops, concerts, and trade shows. However, for extended outdoor use, it is best to ensure it is securely installed to prevent wind damage.

Can 210gsm polyester stage backdrops be printed in full colour?

Absolutely! The material is ideal for full-colour dye-sublimation printing, which results in vibrant, fade-resistant graphics. This makes it perfect for branding, promotional events, and stage presentations.

How should I clean and store a 210gsm polyester backdrop?

210gsm polyester backdrops are easy to maintain—most can be machine washed at a low temperature or spot cleaned with mild detergent. They can be folded or rolled for storage without excessive wrinkling, and any minor creases can be removed with gentle steaming.

Our promise to you

Tell us the date. We’ll make sure you’re ready.

Whether it’s an event, a launch, a site opening or a big day, we know you’re not really buying a banner. You’re buying one less thing to worry about. Here’s what you can count on, every order.

1. Nothing prints until you’ve said yes

Every order gets a free artwork check and a proof to approve. We check the size, the resolution, the colours and the edges before anything goes near a printer. If something isn’t right, such as a blurry logo, the wrong size or colours that won’t print as you expect, we put the job on hold and tell you straight away.

2. We work to your deadline

Tell us when you need it and we’ll tell you honestly if we can do it, with clear prices for standard, express and same-day. Artwork and payment in by 11am means same-day printing on express orders. Left it late? You’re not the only one. Last-minute orders are what we do best.

3. A real person, not a checkout

Call, WhatsApp or email and you’ll speak to someone who knows your order. Not sure what size you need, or whether to get a roller banner or a step and repeat? No question is a silly question. We’ll give you honest advice, even if that means suggesting something cheaper.

4. Quality you’ll be proud to put up

Sharp print, strong materials and proper finishing. Before anything is packed, we check it’s the right material, the right quantity and the right finishing for your order.

Backdrops are rolled, never folded, so there are no crease marks.
Securely packed to arrive looking exactly as it should.

5. We keep you in the loop, and we put it right

You’ll get tracking as soon as your order leaves us. Couriers aren’t perfect, so if one lets you down, we chase it for you. And if we ever get something wrong, we’ll own it and put it right. No excuses, no runaround.
