Professional Backdrop Manufacturing
Our class leading stage backdrops, drapes and scrims are manufactured using a dye-sublimation process print process. This print technique makes our stage and theatre backdrops extremely hardwearing and colour fast as the ink fuses into the fabric on a molecular level becoming part of the substrate. This means your stage banner will not run or fade like many of the cheaper alternatives on the market. This high-quality product is foldable and lightweight for easy storage. Click

Backdrops at any size
Our popular Stage and Theatre Backdrops and Drapes are custom-made to any size to suit your requirements. Whether you are performing in a small hall or big theatre, we have the solution.
Made from a tough 210gsm knitted polyester fabric and printed in vibrant full colour. These custom backdrops fold and roll up to be used again and again, always looking fantastic.
Stage Backdrops Usage
Ideal for stage backdrops, backcloths, band scrims, theatre displays, custom backdrops, conferences, pantomime backcloths, museum backdrops, live bands, exhibition displays and point of sale displays.
Finishing Options
The material can be finished to your specification – choose eyelets and/or pole pockets to suit. Many Stage and Theatre Backdrops will have eyelets at the top for hanging, with a pole pocket at the bottom through which a weight would be slid in (wooden dowel, broom handles or metal pipe).
Washable by hand – just wipe clean.

Design Guide for Stage Backdrops
Set your dimensions correctly
Please set your artwork to the correct dimensions of your final printed stage backcloths. We do not require any bleed on the artwork for a printed backdrop. If necessary, you can set your artwork to scale.
Set the correct CMYK colour settings
Please make sure that you set your colour settings to CMYK. Our backdrop printers use a full colour dye-sublimation printing process which works using cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks. Files that are sent to use using an RGB setup will be changed automatically. Sometimes this can make the colours on your printed backdrop seem weak & washed out. We will check for this before printing and contact you if required.
Position of eyelets on your Printed Stage Backdrops
Please leave a clear area of approx 50mm inside the edge of the banner. Background colour / images are fine, just no important text elements, small print or logos as these can be obscured by the eyelets. We will add hems and eyelets unless otherwise stated. It is not advisable to have just eyelets (without the hem) as this can cause the material to rip.
We space our eyelets approx every 500mm apart unless otherwise stated. Eyelets will be evenly spaced so eyelet spacing might vary slightly on different sizes of banners.
Pole Pockets on Stage Backdrops
We can finish your backdrops with pole pockets if required. Please make sure when ordering / setting of your artwork that your artwork / finished file size is set to the finished overall size of the backcloth including the pole pockets. Standard scaffold tubes require a 150mm flat pocket size to fit comfortably with plenty of space as to not cause to much tension on the pocket seam. Please ensure that you leave a clear area at the top and the bottom of the backdrops to allow for the pockets. To explain – if your banner is 2m height please set to 2m height and then make sure that no text, logos and important info enters the top 150mm or bottom 150mm of the design area. Solid colour/ background images or patterns are fine just not text or vital information. Check here for more information on
pole pockets and how to design for them.
Stage Backdrop Design Principles
For stage backdrop design it is always important to consider viewing distances. Always create your artwork to give the highest possible impact. Contrasting colours will give your backdrop much more clout than washed out subtle colours.
A single scene is usually ideal for a backdrop design.
Consider the size of your text if used. From a distance, larger text is easier to read. Use upper and lower fonts.
Cramming every little bit of information onto your stage backdrop 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.
