Perfect for Step and Repeat Boards and Sponsor Backdrops

Design you backdrop with step and repeat sponsor logos for an ideal media or press backdrop. Easy to assemble, transport and store. Replacement backdrop graphics can be ordered any time.

Graphics Included with your Press Backdrop

The included durable custom printed fabric is produced in full colour at extraordinary detail, producing pin-sharp logos and text or stunning photography. We print using dye-sublimation technology for vibrant continuous tone reproductions of your designs.

Anti-glare to suit lighting from still and video cameras.

We use 210gms knitted polyester as standard – you can downgrade to PVC Banner to save costs or upgrade to Blockout Fabric if you think you may need to cut out light or shadows from behind.

Flame-retardant fabric (with Fire Certificate)

Sturdy, Portable Media Backdrop Stand

The metal stand is telescopic and adjustable, expanding to 2400mm x 2400mm, making it ideal for a range of venues and events. Crossbeams fit top and bottom in order to tension the included fabric graphic panel. Designed with regular use in mind, this is a sturdy and strong structure.

Everything packs away into a convenient storage and carry-bag and the whole system can be set up within 5 minutes.

Replacement graphic panels can be ordered anytime from just £106.00 each and the stand has a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. In the unlikely event of failure, we will replace any components as necessary.

Our larger Press Backdrop Maxi extends to 3000mm x 2400mm.

Our fabulous Fabric Backdrop Stands offer an even bigger display at up to 3740mm x 2260mm.

Design for your Press Backdrop

The best designs are often a simple step-and-repeat pattern of brand logos. Main logos and a strapline can be placed above head height for maximum brand impact.

If larger backdrops are required, consider placing 2 or more Press Backdrops side by side, or have a look at our larger Stage Backdrop and Yukon Wall products.

Artwork Guidelines Back to top

DOWNLOAD: artwork-guidelines.pdf

FILE FORMATS WE ACCEPT
PDF, Jpeg, PSD, eps (CS 6 or earlier) Ai, (CS 6 or earlier)

COLOURS
We only accept files converted to CMYK.

SCALE
We accept files at
Actual size or
1:2 scale (50% actual size)
1:5 scale (20% actual Size)
1:10 scale (10% actual size)
1:20 scale (5% actual size)

DPI
The ideal DPI is 125dpi if possible. At 125dpi this can make very large graphics huge in memory size, so on larger graphics i.e. 5m x 2.5m you can go down as low as 50dpi. As a rule the larger the graphic the greater the viewing distance hence the lower the dpi can be.

Small / medium sized graphics 125 PPI (DPI) Large sized graphics 50-100PPI (DPI)

FONTS / TYPE
Please make sure that all text is created to outlines / curves before uploading. Even on PDF files make sure you create outlines before saving.

BLEED
No Thanks, No bleed is required on your artwork.

CLEAR AREA
Please leave a clear area of 50mm to allow for eyelets. (Please ensure that all text / logos / critical information is more than 50mm from the edge of your artwork) Background colours and images are fine going into the clear areas.

POLE POCKETS
When ordering make sure you select the finished overall size of your banner including the pockets. So if you select a 1m wide x 2m height, then we will manufacture the banner to a total the height of 2m including the pockets.
(clear areas on pole pockets)
Please make sure that you leave a clear area for your pockets. The term ‘clear area’ means no items of text or logos to run into these areas. Background colours or hackgrtoudn images are fine, just no readable text or logos. So if you are ordering a 1m wide x2m height banner with pole pockets top and bottom, then please keep the bottom 150mm free and the top 150mm free from text and logos. This will make the overall visual area 1m wide x 1.7m height.
Double sided banners
We have special software which flips certain parts of your banners so as to create a seamless pocket on the opposite side. When ordering a double sided banner please just follow the above steps, as the file(s) will need to be set up in the same way. If you require a different image on each side of your double sided banner not a problem, just upload x2 files stating that you require a different image on each side.

COLOUR MATCHING
We can match pantones if required at an additional charge (please contact us before proceeding) as this is costed per job. We cannot guarantee an exact match on colours due to limitations of the CMYK print process but will try to achieve as close as physically possible.
