Questions
Buyer questions about this product, answered. Can't see yours? Ask below and our team will reply.
Are these backdrops waterproof?
Yes. 440gsm PVC is a solid, waterproof banner vinyl made for outdoor use on shop fronts, walls, railings and at events. How long it lasts outside depends on sun, wind and how well it is fixed: hemmed edges, metal eyelets and a tie at every eyelet all help. On an open fence or scaffold where wind hits it hard, a mesh banner is the safer choice because air passes through it. Photography Studio Backdrops are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Does Photography Studio Backdrops come with a stand or frame?
No, it is the printed backdrop only: the PVC option comes hemmed with eyelets so it can be tied to a frame, poles, a truss or a wall. Measure the frame or wall you are using and choose the size to match, or enter your own width and height. If you need a complete freestanding display, look at our pop-up and fabric display stands. Photography Studio Backdrops are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
What artwork options are there for Photography Studio Backdrops?
The Artwork choice on this page offers: "I will upload print-ready artwork" (free), "Add my text and logo to a clean layout (typesetting)" (£15), "Design it for me from my brief" (£35), "Redraw or vectorise my logo from a low-res file" (£50) and "Design a new logo for me" (£100). Design fees are fixed, show as their own line in the basket and cover the whole quantity of that item. Typesetting includes 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes; design from your brief includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. You can also design it yourself in the online designer at no charge.
How does the online designer work?
Yes. Open the designer from this page, pick a starting layout, add your logo, text and photos, and move things around on the canvas. Checks run as you work: sample text left in, text that is too small, items outside the safe area and low resolution images are flagged before you can approve. You approve exactly what you see, then add it to the basket. Designing and previewing is free; the on-screen preview carries a small watermark that is never printed. For Photography Studio Backdrops, set your file up at the size you order, for example 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm).
What is the cheapest price for Photography Studio Backdrops?
The lowest price is £114.53, which is what the calculator opens on: size 2000 × 2000 mm and material 400gsm PVC-free banner. Every other combination is priced as you choose it, including faster turnaround, and that price is final because we do not add VAT. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).
How quickly can I get Photography Studio Backdrops?
Saver is ready to dispatch in 5 working days, Standard in 3 and Express in 1, counted in working days (Monday to Friday, not bank holidays) from when your order and artwork are confirmed. The exact figure for your chosen size and options shows beside each turnaround in the calculator. Courier delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days after dispatch, and we email the tracking details when the parcel leaves us. On the opening option, Photography Studio Backdrops are ready to dispatch in 5 working days on Saver or 1 on Express.
How much is delivery for Photography Studio Backdrops?
UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it), so one backdrop at £114.53 already qualifies for free delivery. Some sizes of this product travel as oversize items, which adds £15 once per order. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes add £10 once per order. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order.
Is there an oversize delivery charge on Photography Studio Backdrops?
Yes, on the largest sizes. Banners over 3 m on any side and boards larger than A0 travel by a specialist courier, which adds £15 once per order however many oversize items you buy. For Photography Studio Backdrops that applies to 3m x 2.4m (10ft x 8ft) and 4m x 2.5m. Smaller sizes go at the normal rate: UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).
Can I order Photography Studio Backdrops in a custom size?
Yes. Enter any width from 500 mm to 6000 mm and height from 500 mm to 3000 mm, and the price updates as you type. Anything bigger, or a special shape, can be quoted. Photography Studio Backdrops come in 5 listed sizes, from 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm) to 13 ft 1 in × 8 ft 2 in (4000 × 2500 mm).
What is PVC-free banner material?
It is a 400gsm banner material made without PVC. It takes the same full colour print and suits indoor displays, retail, exhibitions and short-term use. For long spells outdoors, or anywhere windy, 440gsm PVC or mesh is the tougher choice. Prices for both are in the calculator, so you can compare the same size before you order. Photography Studio Backdrops are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Will a backdrop look shiny in photos?
Flash and bright lights can reflect off any smooth printed surface. Keep shiny, pale areas out of the zone behind people's heads, and angle lights from the side rather than straight on. Darker, busier designs hide reflections better than large flat pale areas. Hang it taut: creases and ripples show up more in photos than they do to the eye. Photography Studio Backdrops are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
What happens to a PVC backdrop in strong wind?
A solid PVC banner on an open fence acts like a sail: the wind pushes on the whole surface and the load goes into the eyelets and ties. Tie every eyelet, keep it taut but not stretched, check the ties after the first windy day and take it down before a storm. For exposed sites that stay up for weeks, choose mesh, which lets a good part of the wind through. Photography Studio Backdrops are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Which file types do you accept for Photography Studio Backdrops?
A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. Photography Studio Backdrops come in 5 listed sizes, from 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm) to 13 ft 1 in × 8 ft 2 in (4000 × 2500 mm).
Can my designer send the file straight to you?
Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Photography Studio Backdrops can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
What happens if my file is not good enough to print?
Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. Photography Studio Backdrops come in 5 listed sizes, from 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm) to 13 ft 1 in × 8 ft 2 in (4000 × 2500 mm).
What resolution does my artwork need for these backdrops?
For large items read from a distance, 100 to 150 dpi at the finished size is enough. At 100 dpi a 13 ft 1 in × 8 ft 2 in (4000 × 2500 mm) design needs about 15,748 × 9,843 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.
Can I put photos on these backdrops?
Yes. Upload them in your artwork, add them in the online designer, or choose a design option and send them to us. A photo that fills a 9 ft 10 in × 6 ft 7 in (3000 × 2000 mm) backdrop needs roughly 11,811 pixels across to print well at 100 dpi. Photos from a phone camera are usually fine; images saved from social media or messaging apps are often too small, and our file check will flag any that may print soft.
Do I get the print file of my design?
Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For Photography Studio Backdrops, set your file up at the size you order, for example 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm).
How do I order several of these backdrops?
The price shown is for one backdrop in the size and material you pick. Set the quantity box next to Add to basket and the basket multiplies it. If you need several different sizes or materials, add each one to the basket separately. One artwork fee covers the whole quantity of a line, and "Same artwork as another item in my basket" adds no second fee. For large runs, ask for a quote. Photography Studio Backdrops are made to order by our UK production partner.
Will the price change at checkout?
Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it). Any artwork or design fee you choose shows as its own line in the basket, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Photography Studio Backdrops come in 5 listed sizes, from 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm) to 13 ft 1 in × 8 ft 2 in (4000 × 2500 mm).
I have a deadline. Is there a faster option for these backdrops?
Yes. Express makes these backdrops ready to dispatch in 1 working day on the opening option, priced at £152.62 against £114.53 on Saver (5 days). To plan back from a date, add 1 to 3 working days for the courier after dispatch and allow for artwork: production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. If the date is very tight, call 0161 315 1151 before you order.
Can you deliver to Northern Ireland, the Highlands or the islands?
Yes, with a difference in price. Mainland Scottish Highlands postcodes, for example around Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the order qualifies for free delivery. Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted before you order: use Get a quote or call 0161 315 1151. We do not deliver outside the UK. The largest sizes of Photography Studio Backdrops travel as oversize items (+£15 once per order).
How do I store these backdrops so I can use them again?
Let it dry completely, wipe off any dirt, then roll it loosely with the printed side facing out, around a tube if you have one. Avoid folding it hard, which leaves creases and can crack the print along the fold. Keep it somewhere dry and away from heat. Remove old cable ties before you roll it so they do not dent the print. Photography Studio Backdrops are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Can I use these backdrops indoors?
Yes. PVC banners hang flat and print sharply, so they work well on stage fronts, in halls, receptions and at indoor events. This product also comes in 400gsm PVC-free material, a good choice indoors if you prefer to avoid PVC. Indoors you can hang it with hooks, cord or removable hanging strips through the eyelets instead of ties. Photography Studio Backdrops are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Would these backdrops work at an event or fair?
Yes, as a stage or photo backdrop hung on a frame, poles or a wall. Outdoors, check the ties or base again if the wind gets up. Order early enough to allow for turnaround and delivery before the date. Photography Studio Backdrops are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Should my artwork be CMYK or RGB?
Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. Photography Studio Backdrops come in 5 listed sizes, from 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm) to 13 ft 1 in × 8 ft 2 in (4000 × 2500 mm).
What does the designer check before I approve?
It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself. For Photography Studio Backdrops, set your file up at the size you order, for example 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm).
Can I order several different designs in one order?
Yes. Add each design to the basket as its own line with its own file or online design, then check out once. Delivery is charged once per order, and becomes free when the goods total reaches £99. If several lines use the same artwork, choose "Same artwork as another item in my basket" so you only pay one design fee. Photography Studio Backdrops come in 5 listed sizes, from 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm) to 13 ft 1 in × 8 ft 2 in (4000 × 2500 mm).
Can I return these backdrops if I change my mind?
No. These backdrops are printed to your order, and the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to goods made to your specification (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, regulation 28(1)(b)). You can cancel for a full refund before production starts. If an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights apply and we reprint or refund. Photography Studio Backdrops are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can I get a VAT invoice?
No. We are not VAT registered, so we do not charge VAT and cannot issue a VAT invoice. You get an order confirmation email with the items, options and total paid, which works as your receipt. Because no VAT is added, the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay for the goods, with delivery shown at checkout. Photography Studio Backdrops are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can I reorder the same backdrop later?
Yes. Order the same product and options again and upload the same file. If you designed it online, the print PDF from your first paid order is in My Account and your confirmation email, ready to upload again. If anything like a phone number or price has changed, update the artwork before you reorder. Photography Studio Backdrops are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of Photography Studio Backdrops?
Yes. Use the Get a quote page and tell us the size, quantity, material, deadline and delivery postcode, and attach any artwork you have. We reply by email or WhatsApp with a price. A quote is also the way to go for delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. Photography Studio Backdrops start at £114.53 before delivery.
Where are Photography Studio Backdrops made?
Photography Studio Backdrops are made to order by our UK production partner. Either way, InstantBanners takes the order, checks your file and deals with you from start to finish, and the item is delivered to you by courier. You can reach our Manchester team on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp if you have a question before or after you order.
Do I need an account to order?

Creating an account at checkout lets you see past orders in My Account and download the print files of designs you made online. Either way you get an order confirmation email and a tracking email when your order is dispatched. Photography Studio Backdrops are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can someone help me choose the right options for these backdrops?
Yes. Call us on 0161 315 1151 or message us on WhatsApp and tell us where the backdrop will go, how long it needs to last and your deadline.

Photography Studio Backdrops are made to order by our UK production partner.
What if I spot a mistake after I order?
Contact us straight away on 0161 315 1151 or WhatsApp with your order number. If production has not started we can take a corrected file, or cancel the order and refund you in full. Once production starts the order cannot be changed. Printing that matches the design you approved or the file you supplied is not a fault, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates carefully before you order. Photography Studio Backdrops are made to order by our UK production partner.
What payment methods can I use for Photography Studio Backdrops?
By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number.

Photography Studio Backdrops are made to order by our UK production partner.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Check it when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, tell us within 48 hours with photos of the item and the packaging, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, with your order number. Do not send anything back until we reply; we then arrange a reprint or a refund. This does not affect your legal rights, which the returns page explains. On the opening option, Photography Studio Backdrops are ready to dispatch in 5 working days on Saver or 1 on Express.
How do I clean these backdrops?
Use warm water with a little mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse with clean water and let it dry flat or hanging. Do not use solvents, abrasive pads or a pressure washer, which can lift the ink or damage the surface. Dry it fully before you roll it up, or it can mark and smell. Photography Studio Backdrops are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Can these backdrops be recycled?
PVC banner and mesh material is not accepted in most household recycling collections, so reuse is the best route: store it well and use it again, or give it a second life as a cover or tarp. Some specialist recyclers take PVC banners; check with your local council or waste contractor. If avoiding PVC matters to you, choose the PVC-free material option. Photography Studio Backdrops are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
