A backdrop is one of the first things guests see at a wedding, birthday, or corporate event — behind the stage, framing a photo corner, or greeting people at the entrance. Getting one printed is straightforward once you know your size and which material suits your setup.
What backdrops are typically ordered for
- Weddings — stage, photo corner, or entrance backdrops
- Birthdays & milestones — personalised with names, ages, or photos
- Corporate events — branded backdrops for product launches, press days, and conferences
- Photo booths — a dedicated backdrop sized exactly to a photo corner setup
Flex/vinyl or fabric — which one
The two material options are flex/vinyl and fabric. Flex/vinyl is the more durable choice and holds up well outdoors, which matters for an entrance banner or anything exposed to the elements. Fabric folds down smaller for transport and has a softer, matte finish, which often suits an indoor stage or photo backdrop better. If you're not sure which fits your event, PrintNow.lk's event backdrop request form has a "Not sure — advise me" option instead of forcing a choice upfront.
Sizing your backdrop
Backdrops are quoted from a width and height in feet, from small photo-corner sizes up to full stage backdrops. Measure the actual space you're filling — the stage backdrop wall, the photo corner frame, or the entrance structure — rather than guessing, since an undersized backdrop leaves gaps and an oversized one has to be trimmed or folded to fit.
How the quote process works
Event backdrops aren't a live-priced product like banners — enter your width, height, and material preference (or "not sure") on the event backdrop page, attach your artwork if you have it, and add any extra details in Notes, including whether you need a frame or stand recommendation. PrintNow.lk follows up with a price and turnaround estimate based on your specifics.
