FREE standard shipping is offered on backdrop packages only - large items, kit or props may have extra charges due to box weights/size.

Your shipping options may change due to large or heavy items in your cart.

The costs are based on order weight and can be calculated from your cart.

Custom backdrops are designed-to-order based on the notes provided with your order, emailed for your approval and then sent to print.

Usually they are printed within one business day for dispatch on the second or third day but they can be quicker or a little longer depending on the time/day you order and how fast your artwork is approved via the email you provide with your order.

To get them as fast as possible after production we recommend using one of the guaranteed next day delivery options.

Our standard backdrop sizes are -

• A1 - approx 84x60cm
• A0  - approx 120x84cm
• Extra Large - approx 150x101cm

We can't print larger than this. If you'd like smaller or irregular sizes the backdrops are easy to cut down with scissors or a knife and matt.

You are welcome to collect from us by appointment Monday to Thursday (and sometimes Fridays if we're in the studio).

We are based in Darley Abbey, Derbyshire, DE22 1DZ.

Please enter 'COLLECT' at checkout and then contact us to arrange your collection time.

(If you change your mind postage will be chargeable.)

YES - all of our designs can be tweaked to your liking and printed on either our extra-thick waterproof vinyl or sustainable paper.

Change the colour or material of this backdrop with a custom design here.

YES - our unique extra-thick vinyl material is perfect for hanging as it stays flat and provides smooth curve if needed too.

All of our backdrops can be hung with tape or clips on a horizontal arm on a c-stand or tripod or a domestic dressing/hanging rail.

We print on two different materials.

Choose our waterproof vinyl for messy food styling and the highest durability or sustainable paper for a more affordable option for product and dry photography.

Both are matte with very little glare, white on the back and hold their shape for easy curving and hanging.

Our vinyl backdrops open immediately and lay flat to use straight away - paper backdrops may need a bit of time (a few hours or overnight) to relax after being rolled to ship.

Our paper backdrops are by no means a lesser product – they offer a different solution at a more affordable price.  For our first two and a half years in business this is the only material we offered and there are over 160 five star google reviews for our paper backdrops to date.

If sustainability is important to you, if you want to explore different ideas and experiment with your backdrop collection, if you have a small budget or if you want to buy in props for clients and then get rid of them with a low environmental impact - paper backdrops are perfect!

Please note: the same design will look slightly different on the different materials – we have tried to show this in the product images.  If you need two or more backdrops the same we recommend buying them in the same material.
