Frequently asked questions
About step and repeat banners.
What is a step and repeat banner?
It is a backdrop printed with logos repeated in a grid, so whichever part appears in a photo shows the brand. It is usually hung on a frame behind guests.
What size step and repeat banner should I choose?
Measure the wall, stage or frame. 8 ft × 8 ft (2400 × 2400 mm) suits most photo walls; 10 ft × 8 ft (3000 × 2400 mm) suits stages and wider areas. Enter your own size if needed.
Can I add names, dates or photos?
Yes. Upload your finished design, or choose artwork help in the options and send the names, dates and photos you want. Photos need to be sharp and high resolution to print well at backdrop size; our file check flags any that may print soft.

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. Step and Repeat Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
Does Step and Repeat Banners 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. Step and Repeat Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
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 confirm. You see exactly what you’ll get, then add it to the basket. Designing and previewing is free; the on-screen preview carries a small watermark that is never printed. For Step and Repeat Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm).
How quickly can I get Step and Repeat Banners?
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, Step and Repeat Banners are ready to dispatch in 5 working days on Saver or 1 on Express.
Can I order Step and Repeat Banners 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. Step and Repeat Banners 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).
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. Step and Repeat Banners 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. Step and Repeat Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
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 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. Step and Repeat Banners 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).
Which file types do you accept for Step and Repeat Banners?
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. For Step and Repeat Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm).
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.
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. Step and Repeat Banners 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. Step and Repeat Banners 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. Step and Repeat Banners 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. Step and Repeat Banners 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 confirm?
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 Step and Repeat Banners, set your file up at the size you order, for example 6 ft 7 in × 6 ft 7 in (2000 × 2000 mm).
Can I get a quote for a large order or an unusual size of Step and Repeat Banners?
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. Step and Repeat Banners 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).
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can check out as a guest and pay by debit or credit card, processed securely by Stripe. 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. Step and Repeat Banners 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 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. Step and Repeat Banners are made to order by our UK production partner.
Can I get a VAT invoice?
No., 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, the price you see in the calculator is the price you pay for the goods, with delivery shown at checkout. Step and Repeat Banners are made to order by our UK production partner.
What payment methods can I use for Step and Repeat Banners?
By debit or credit card at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number. Your order goes into production once payment is taken and your order and artwork are confirmed. For a large or unusual order you can ask for a quote first. Step and Repeat Banners are made to order by our UK production partner.
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. Step and Repeat Banners 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).
Where are Step and Repeat Banners made?

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.
What if my order arrives damaged?
Check it when it arrives. If anything is damaged or missing, tell us as soon as you can (ideally within 48 hours) with photos of the item and the packaging, through the contact form or on WhatsApp, with your order number.

On the opening option, Step and Repeat Banners 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. Step and Repeat Banners 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. Step and Repeat Banners are printed on 400gsm PVC-free banner and 440gsm PVC banner, hemmed, eyelets.
