To help you make the right decision, we have created a size guide that compares our different sizes.

Will my photo backdrops be exactly the same color as on the website?

All images shown on the website are for inspiration only. Although computer monitors are becoming more uniform, they can still vary due to different color settings. Therefore, we cannot guarantee exact color matches, but the color will be as close to the displayed color as possible. The backdrops will also change in relation to lighting, distance, aperture and editing. Which gives you many opportunities to create your own personal expression.

Will my photo backdrops be the exact size that I order?

In general, your backdrops will be close to the exact size, but please note that, due to the production method, the backdrops will vary 2-3% in size.

How should I store my photo backdrops?

All backdrops are delivered rolled up on a cardboard tube. We do this to prevent the fabric in our polyester backdrops from creasing or the tear-resistant paper from being damaged.
When you are not using your backdrop, we recommend rolling it back onto the tube.

If your polyester backdrop becomes wrinkled, this can be partly remedied by hanging it in a warm room for 24 hours before use. You can also iron your polyester backdrop. Please note that this must be done on the reverse side.

If your no-tear paper background gets dirty, it can be wiped off with a damp cloth.

How should I care for and maintain my photo backdrops?

The backdrops in no-tear paper are water and tear-resistant and can be wiped with a damp cloth with warm water.

The polyester backdrops can be washed in the washing machine at 30 degrees and without the use of fabric softener. Since they are printed on a flexible material, they may become wrinkled. Therefore, always ensure that they are laid flat when in use and rolled up on the cardboard tube after use. If you think your backdrop has become too wrinkled, you can iron it on the back
