The backdrops are printed at a small family business in the Netherlands on durable vinyl which is water-repellent and lightweight. Our material is strong, smooth, matt and flexible. Perfect for photography. You can easily roll up the backdrop and store it in the tube in which we send it to you. They are wipeable and anti-curl unlike many traditional vinyl backdrops used for photo backgrounds. If they have been stored and rolled up for a long time, they can curl, but once relaxed after laying flat they will uncurl again. There are companies who sell vinyl backdrops with a structure on the surface that you can clearly see in the photo. Especially if you take the photo diagonally from the front. Our backgrounds are totally smooth.
