Make a bold statement and captivate your audience with an unforgettable custom-printed backdrop!
In the Entertainment and Events industry, many structures are used and reused. Printed backdrops are essentially large printed graphics or images that are used as backgrounds for video production, exhibitions, photography, trade shows, many type of events, and much more.
They serve both aesthetic and functional purposes, such as setting a scene, promoting a brand, or enhancing visual appeal.
To Be Effective At Any Industry Event, Your Printed Backdrop Must Stand Out The Most and Catch Everybody’s Attention
A printed stage backdrop allows you to focus attention on a specific point of the event. With the stage backdrop and just the right amount of printed graphic material, you can create a captivating context for the event’s audience. This printed format on the stage backdrop allows you to highlight any corporate image in the finest detail, projecting a fully personalized atmosphere.
At AV Drop, we often recommend this option as it is one of the best solutions for any stage backdrop with great visual impact. Additionally, and as one of the major advantages, our modular stage backdrop system allows you to reuse the structure multiple times, whether with the same shape or by modifying the design depending on the project.

In addition to printing, you should consider the structure needed to install your printed stage background. The AV Drop modular backdrop system allows you to create your backdrop in just a few minutes without the need for tools, giving you more time for other tasks.
In many occasions, a printed backdrop is often accompanied by a projection screen (although it doesn’t necessarily have to have one). Our printed stage backdrops can be also be designed and configured with one or two projection screens to complement the stage.
These projection screens can be front projection or rear projection. The latter is ideal for keeping the projector out of view and preventing the speakers’ shadows from appearing on the screen. However, to have rear projection, it is necessary to have sufficient space behind the stage backdrop that will be used.
On the other hand, front projection allows the stage backdrop to be placed much closer to the rear wall, offering greater mobility. However, it should also be noted that there is a risk of the shadows of the speakers or objects appearing, which could interfere with the projector and the screen.
