Our custom-printed step and repeat banners with stand, also known as Hollywood Banners, add elegance to an event. Matte finish (no glare when flash photography is used). 13 ounce, fire retardant material. Your choice of grommets or pole pockets are included in the price. Pole pockets are recommended for use with our custom print step and repeat banners. We offer 2 standard sizes, 8’ high x 8’ wide, and also 8’ high x 10’ wide. Custom step and repeat backdrops are made from our standard 13oz scrim banner which has a white opaque base for front printing and display. It is tear and fade resistant, and is fire retardant, meeting standard NFPA 701.

Material
When hosting a red-carpet event, press conference, or high-stakes corporate gala, camera flash is your biggest enemy. We manufacture our step-and-repeat banners using premium 13oz scrim vinyl featuring a specialized smooth, matte finish. This anti-glare substrate is specifically engineered to absorb harsh photography lighting beautifully, ensuring that every sponsor logo remains perfectly legible in professional photographs. Built to drape flawlessly, this high-end vinyl avoids the cheap, shiny reflections common in standard outdoor plastics while maintaining industrial durability.
Speed
Event planning revolves around hard, unmovable deadlines, and your media backdrop must be ready before the first VIP arrives. We prioritize your urgent timelines by driving your grand-format artwork through our state-of-the-art Durst P5 350 HS printer. This industrial-grade high-speed press utilizes advanced UV inks that cure instantly, allowing us to produce massive, seamless backdrops at blistering speeds without the long drying times of older technologies. Your step and repeat is printed, meticulously finished, and ready for the red carpet exactly when you need it.


Quality
Your brand's reputation is on the line when placed directly in front of the press. Whether your design features a single repeating corporate logo or a complex, dense grid of varied sponsors, our high-definition digital printing process guarantees absolute, razor-sharp clarity. The advanced inks bond aggressively to the 13oz vinyl, producing highly saturated, vibrant colors and deep blacks with precise brand accuracy. This ensures that every logo projects absolute professionalism and looks picture-perfect under intense event lighting.
Finishing
A premium media backdrop must hang perfectly flat to look authoritative in photographs. To guarantee a flawless, wrinkle-free display, we construct our step and repeat banners with top and bottom pole pockets. We utilize industrial-strength, double-sided hem tape to secure these folds, strictly avoiding stitching, which can create visible seam lines or puckering in the material. This creates clean, heavy-duty loops that allow the frame’s horizontal poles to slide smoothly through, pulling the banner perfectly taut across the entire stand and completely eliminating sloppy sagging.


Visibility
A custom step and repeat banner is the ultimate tool for maximizing brand exposure and driving organic social reach. By providing a dedicated, highly professional photo destination, you aggressively encourage event attendees to stop, pose, and share their pictures online. Placed strategically at venue entrances or VIP reception areas, this tailored media wall transforms standard event photography into a continuous, high-impact marketing engine, repeatedly broadcasting your branding across countless social media feeds and news outlets.
No, the pole pockets are attached on the back side and should not interfere with your design. That being said, we still recommend keeping an important information at least a few inches from any edge to be safe.
Image quality is part art, part science. Generally, low resolution website pictures look terrible on signs. Web pages need to load quickly, so people visiting a page don't leave the organization's website. If high definition pictures are on the page, the page will load slowly. Thus, nearly every internet picture you find on a storefront or news page is low definition. It might look good at 2' x 2', but will look terrible at 12' tall. Before uploading a picture, zoom in. Is it grainy? Does the edge look crisp? If not sure, email us the image, let us know how big you want it, and we will let you know if it will look good enough to be persuasive. Sometimes, for a small fee, we can use commercial software to improve the quality. Files that are 100 kilobytes (kb) or less, even up to 1000 kb, are often too low quality to use on all but the smallest signs or decals.
Google Images has the ability to display only high definition pictures- play with the settings. However, that does not mean you are legally allowed to use the image. Make sure before you use it. Often, people are honored to have someone use their picture, and say yes, if you ask nicely.
Modern camera phones take excellent images if you choose the highest quality setting. Likewise, tablets can take great pictures, usable for signage products.

Professionals use premium materials. We are professionals.
Available Colors for printing depends upon the printing method you
choose. Silk Screen signs and decals have standard colors that do not
incur any additional fees. If you desire a specific silk screen color,
called a PMS color, we advise you call in to discuss your job. We have
color matching experts. There will be an additional charge, to hand mix
ink colors, for this service. This is the only way to guarantee Brand
Guidelines and Specific colors are achieved. If the product you choose
is digitally printed, we can likewise print with calibrated equipment to
achieve specific CMYK values. Again, a phone call is recommended.
Since we are based in Tampa, Florida, we know from experience that the sun’s UV rays can take their toll on printed ink. Even with direct sun exposure, our banners can easily last for 2-3 years, even longer if not in direct sunlight. If your banner is hung inside, it will last for many years.
Grommets are metal punched eyelets that allow you to hang your banner at multiple points. Grommets are used with our standard 13oz vinyl banner material. Power tabs are used in the same way but they are made of a thin, clear plastic and have a hole punched in them to allow you to hang your banner. Because we do not hem our 18oz vinyl banner material, the thin plastic tabs are stuck to both sides of the banner and add a similar reinforcement as the hem.
We can print a banner up to 10’ in the smaller dimension. Although our material comes on a 164’ roll, we suggest not printing a single banner more than 10’ x 50’ due to overall weight when finished. For example, a 10’ x 50’ banner weighs over 60 lbs. You can easily string together multiple banners to achieve the look of a larger one.
