Band Banners and Backdrops

More Information Back to top

Our printed band banners, backdrop banners, stage scrims and stage backdrops are custom-made and printed to any size to suit your needs. Our printed backdrops give incredible colour reproduction under any lighting conditions. No matter the size of your band’s venues, if you are performing in a small pub or a big theatre, our custom backdrops for bands will do the job.
We know the live entertainment experience should be a memorable one. That’s why we specialise in creating high-impact festival-quality custom backdrops for bands that are built to last, no matter how lairy tour-life gets. Our premium fabric band banners come printed on a resilient tight-weave knit that’s completely flame retardant without sacrificing beauty.

Custom Backdrop Printing

We print your backdrop banner with the artwork you’ve uploaded. If its a black background you require, then please set your artwork with a CMYK mix of 10:10:10:100. Our premium backdrop banner printing for bands is ideal to use on stage against a solid surface. Choose our Blockout Band Backdrop if you need to block out all light from behind.

Premium Fabric Backdrops

We use a high-quality 210gsm Polyester to produce our Premium Fabric Band Banners, Backdrop Banners, Stage Scrims, Custom Banners for Bands and Stage Backdrops. Our backdrop banners are printed using Dye Sublimation print technology.

The Dye Sublimation process means they won’t run or fade. To clean, you can wipe smaller areas with a damp cloth or machine wash when required at a low temperature. Roll or fold your band backdrops between gigs to keep them in perfect condition.

We produce our backdrop banners and stage scrims using the latest printing technology. Once printed, our skilled finishing team take over, carefully adding seams, hems, eyelets and even pole pockets. Standard finishing includes hem and eyelets. We only use specialist quality plastic eyelets in our backdrops, which won’t rust and damage the printed backcloth.
Our maximum print width on premium fabrics is 3 metres. Backdrops larger than this in one dimension will have panels seamed together. We do have alternative materials with a width of up to 5 metres.

GUIDE TO BUYING BAND BANNERS

The Backdrop For Bands

There’s nothing more important for emerging bands than getting your name in front of new audiences. As such, finding the perfect printed stage backdrop or band banner is more than just a throwaway purchase.

The right band banner can add an effortless air of professionalism while getting your name out there and engaging new fans at every gig.

If you’re a touring musician, the last thing you want is for your signage to let you down. Sure, playing to potential new fans is good but if they can’t remember your name, you’re unlikely to see them again.

Cheap event banners or PVC banners can ruck or decline in quality over time – ultimately impacting your image. Our fabric band banners, backdrop banners, custom made backdrops, and scrims easily roll and fold away, ready to be used again.

Spot a crease? Iron it out on a low heat and watch it disappear. Meanwhile, their lightweight material makes them a dream to pack away and transport to your next event.

Choose hems and eyelets or pole pockets depending on how you intend to install the backdrop.

Hem and eyelets

Ideal for hanging banners using zip ties, chord or string.

Pole pockets

A top pocket is ideal for using a cable or bungee to hang. Pole pocket at the bottom of the backdrop is the right solution for weighing down your banner and adding some tension.

Band Banner Design Principles

For band banner design it is always important to consider viewing distances. Always create your artwork to give the highest possible impact. Contrasting colours will give your banner much more clout than washed out subtle colours.

A single band logo is usually ideal for a band backdrop design, or even a step and repeat design.

Consider the size of your text. From a distance, larger text is easier to read. Use upper and lower fonts. Road signs are all in upper and lower type rather than all capitals. Subconsciously your eyes will read upper and lower (sentence case). Font type… Clearer fonts work better than fancy, stripy or script fonts. Look at the backdrops for the big performers – they often just display the band name.

Cramming every little bit of information onto your band backdrop banner is not a good idea. Less is more. Remember to use clear areas of space and give your design space to breathe. The best backdrops are always simple and straight to the point.

Consider adding a QR Code on your design which will link to your band’s website or social media page.
