As few seams as possible. That was the request for a 30 ft. x 40 ft. hanging fabric backdrop. We print dye-sublimation fabric up to 16 ft. seamlessly, but there are times when our clients like to go really big. Our first step was requesting artwork to ascertain the best place for seams. The preferred option was to place any necessary seams outside the camera frame giving the appearance of being completely seamless. All the sewing and finishing was handled in our finishing department. In the end it was a successful event with a great backdrop.

Client:

BBC

Materials:

Fabric backdrop

  • dye-sublimated inks
  • 30- by 40-ft

Solution:

To appear seamless, we printed the 40-ft backdrop in three pieces of fabric so that the seams would be off center. For optimal color we used the dye sublimation method.
