Backdrop Banner Printing

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.

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. Backdrop Banners can also be designed in our online designer, where you see exactly what you’ll get.

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.

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.

Yes. PVC banners hang flat and print sharply, so they work well on stage fronts, in halls, receptions and at indoor events.

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. Backdrop Banners can also be designed in our online designer, where you see exactly what you’ll get.

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 confirm; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself. For Backdrop Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm).

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.
