If clamps are used, be sure they are rubber-tipped or that cloth is used between the clamp teeth and the backdrop to reduce the chance of rips or other damage. If only a portion of the drop will be used, be sure to roll up the unused section of the drop rather than folding it, so it doesn't crack the paint. When the shoot or performance is over, lower the drop onto a clean surface, removing all remnants of props, tape, dirt, staples and other items. Do not roll dirt or other debris into the backdrop or damage could occur resulting in costly repairs. Replace the drop in its shipping bag and seal with tape for protection when it is being returned to our studio.
Backdrops are quite expensive to produce and to repair.
If they are allowed to get wet, torn or dirty, significant repair costs can accrue. By observing these procedures, the backdrops will remain in good condition and costly repairs can be eliminated.
