To help you get a better sense of what to expect, here’s a list of our current offerings in backdrop materials. Click on the material below to learn more about each one and find the perfect backdrop for your shoot.

Removing Wrinkles

Over time, backdrops may develop wrinkles from folding, long-term storage, or regular use. To reduce wrinkles, begin by hanging the backdrop and lightly misting it with cool water using a spray bottle. Wrinkles can also be removed using a handheld steamer on a low setting. Using backdrop stands and clamps helps keep the fabric taut and can minimize future creasing.

After cleaning or wrinkle removal, allow the backdrop to air dry naturally for best results. Some fabrics may also be placed in a dryer for a short cycle to help release wrinkles—refer to each backdrop’s Care Instructions above for fabric-specific washing, drying, and heat recommendations.

Fleece

Our Fleece backdrops are made from 100% polyester fleece, a soft, matte fabric designed to photograph cleanly and consistently. The surface has a low-sheen finish, helping minimize glare and specular highlights under studio strobes or natural light.

Fleece is lightweight and flexible, making it easy to hang, clamp, and transport. When properly tensioned, it produces a smooth appearance and is forgiving of minor folds or creases. The fabric is durable and machine washable, making it well suited for studios that photograph children, pets, or high-volume sessions.

This material folds for storage and travels well, making it a reliable option for both in-studio and on-location use. Fleece offers a balance of ease of use, durability, and image quality at an accessible price point.

Our Rubber-Backed Floor Mats feature a textile-pile surface bonded to a non-slip rubber backing, designed to stay securely in place during use. The rubber base helps prevent shifting, making these floors well suited for photographing small children, pets, and active subjects.

If the floor becomes wet, allow it to dry completely before storage. Some users have successfully used a pressure washer for deep cleaning; use caution, as excessive pressure may damage the floor.
