At events, vinyl banners are frequently used as backgrounds for step and repeats, photo booths, and decor. Pipe and drape are also utilized to partition areas or conceal workspaces. Backdrops are essential in photography to create personalized backgrounds. Each of these applications requires a properly sized stand to support the vinyl banner or draped fabric.
A backdrop stand typically features a metal frame, often aluminum or an aluminum alloy, with a stable self-supporting base. The backdrop can be secured to the frame using sewn-in channels or grommets, depending on the banner’s construction. This setup ensures the structural integrity needed for displaying the backdrop effectively.
Backdrop lifts facilitate the installation of vinyl banners by reducing the number of personnel required. The backdrop is initially placed on the lift frame at floor level. Using either a hand crank or a motorized system, the lift then elevates the backdrop to its full height.
These lifts and stands are available in various sizes to accommodate common dimensions used for step and repeat setups and photography backdrops.
