Made for your event
Every backdrop is cut to order in my Plainfield, IL shop on a CNC router, so the shape, size and face you pick here is exactly what gets built. Plain and trimmed panels are 1/2 in birch plywood. Ripple faces are carved into 3/4 in ultralight MDF, and the grooves catch side light for a soft, layered look in photos.
Use one as the photo wall at a birthday, baby shower, wedding, quince, prom or graduation party, behind the dessert or gift table, or as a backer for a DJ booth or vendor display. Planners often pair two or three sizes for a layered look. The legs fold out from the back so each panel stands on its own, then fold flat to pack up after the event.
Real builds
Left to right: 4 x 4 ft full ripple, 4 x 7 ft ripple outline, 4 x 7 ft full ripple. Raw 3/4 in ultralight MDF, fold-out legs on the back.
The back of a collapsible birch arch: hinges across the middle, fold-out legs at the base.
A collapsible rectangle with inset trim in raw birch. The faint line across the middle is the fold.
A 4 x 7 ft two-layer wavy in raw birch, collapsible. The front wavy panel sits on a matching back panel, and the faint line across the middle is the fold.
The same wavy folded in half, about 3.5 in thick.
A collapsible arch folded in half. The rounded top folds down over the bottom, hinges at the fold.
The same arch from the side. Folded, it is just under 3 in thick.
A 4 x 7 ft collapsible rectangle with inset trim, folded in half. It weighs about 48 lb.
Why doesn't a narrower backdrop cost less?
Every panel is cut from a full 4 ft wide sheet. A 3 ft backdrop uses the same sheet, the same machine time and the same build as a 4 ft one, and the strip left over is too narrow to use. So pricing goes by height, and you get any width from 3 to 4 ft at the same price.
Planning a bigger setup?
Need several backdrops for one event, a size outside this tool, or something to match an arch or sign? Put it in the notes and I will quote the whole set together.
