FAQ

Backdrop FAQ

Your backdrops will arrive in a tube, because our backdrops are made of vinyl, they easily roll out and roll back up when you’re finished your shoot! The tubes are a thick cardboard mailing tube so they wont bend or dent – keeping you’re your backdrops safe!

All our backdrops are water resistant. You can put beauty products on them, spill food on them and even spray with water for a water droplet effect. Just wet and wipe off – easy!

Because all our backdrops are water resistant you can easily use a damp cloth to wipe away any food or product left behind from your photoshoot. We recommend then wiping with a clean dry or damp cloth and always letting the vinyl dry before packing away in your storage tube. It's very important the cleaning cloths have no chemical residue from harsh cleaners as this can cause damage. When cleaning solid colour or light coloured backdrops only use water and wipe very softly

- Using pressure or using harsh cleaning products can strip the ink from your backdrops. Please test patch if using cleaning products or contact us first

The best part about vinyl is there is minimal to no reflections or glare in your images! We print all our backdrops in Matte, reducing glare from artificial lighting.

We print and cut all our backdrops in house! As particular as we are, sometimes there can be up to 1cm size discrepancy due to the backdrops being printed and cut by machine, not by us! If there's any issues please reach out.

Decal FAQ

All of our decals are printed in-house right here in Melbourne, Australia. We pride ourselves on quality and fast turnaround times.

Our decals are printed and cut in custom sizing combinations to suit your logo or artwork. We can print up to 1.3m on the shortest side on our different decal materials.

Sizes range from 5cm - 1.3m in width and any length (or vice versa)

Kiss cutting to shape means your decal is precisely cut around the design itself. There’s no rectangle, circle, or background around your decal - just your letters, logo, or custom shape. It gives a clean, professional look that’s easy to apply and perfect for detailed designs.

Our decals are designed for smooth, clean surfaces such as glass, mirrors, car windows, shopfront windows, walls, plinths, floors, laptops, and drink bottles. They are not recommended for painted car panels or textured surfaces.

Yes! Our decals come with transfer tape to make positioning easy. Simply peel the backing, apply the decal to your chosen surface, smooth it down firmly, then carefully peel away the transfer tape. We provide a step-by-step guide with every order.

Our vinyl decals are designed to be removable without leaving sticky residue or damaging smooth surfaces. Just take your time peeling them off gently from one corner.

Please keep in mind, the longer the decal is applied the harder it will be to remove.

Ideally, your logo should be sent in SVG,PDF or PNG. The logo size should be at a minimum, what you plan on printing it. Ie, for a 15cm decal, the logo must be at least 15cm when sent to us.

Need help? We have very user friendly Canva based templates designed to help people resize their logo without losing quality. You can send us the direct link to the logo on Canva, or send it to us directly.
