Backdrops for photos (red carpet)

[Tony Rome]

I have a customer that wants a custom backdrop for photos like the ones you see in red carpet events.
I have a 54" versacamm I see many companies offer a seamless 8'' x 8' which I obviously can't do.

What are my options using banner material or poster paper?

Are there frames that are 4' wide by 8' high or something and I can print two panels?
Or is there somewhere I can buy it wholesale online cheap, I hate to do that since I think I should be able to figure something out in house.

Anyone ever do this or have any suggestions?

Thanks!

matte banner, they can make it cheaper than you and there will be no middle seams

Seamless is the way to go but we can't print past 52" either so we have done them on smooth matte banner and use glue (HH66) to do the seam.
With a little practice you can have a very flat clean seam with glue that would be very hard to see on a light colored backdrop.

Yup... have a 54" printer also. We do a lot of these with a center seam.

OK, so basically print two banner panels and where do I get the frame, anything else I need?
Just banner tape for the seam, correct?
Thanks.

Sign world and quite a few other suppliers sell telescoping frames for banners or you can use the fabric walls with velcro attachment strips.
