--------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATIONS ON SIZE:
We often get asked what size is recommended. The average order is typically 5 foot x 7 foot.  We suggest taking measurements of your available space to decide what will best work for your particular needs.

Click on the drop down above that says "Choose Your Material/Size" to browse all of the sizes and materials we offer for purchase (larger sizes and more materials available by emailing photopropfloors [!at] gmail.com for more info).  


HOW SIZING WORKS:

The drop-down in the listings does *NOT* indicate a height and a width.  It only indicates the size of the material you are ordering.  

The height and width are determined by the orientation of how the design is shown/advertised) in the listing.  The concept is very simple and the same exact process as you would use  for the photographs you print for your clients.  We elaborate on this in detail, below:

1) If the design is shown/advertised, in the listing, in a horizontal/landscape orientation then the design will print horizontal/landscape orientation.  

If you ordered a horizontal/landscape oriented design in an 8x10 size it would print 8 Foot HIGH by 10 Foot WIDE.

2) If the design is shown/advertised in the listing in a vertically/portrait orientation then the design will print vertical/portrait orientation.  

If you ordered a vertical/portrait oriented design in an 8x10 size it would print 8 Foot WIDE by 10 Foot HIGH.


*If you are unsure if a design is horizontal/landscape or vertical/portrait orientation please email us at photopropfloors [!at] gmail.com, BEFORE ordering, so we can help you.


HOW WE CROP OR RE-SIZE THE DESIGNS BASED ON THE SIZE YOU ORDER:


Regular designs are typically shown, in each listing, in a 5 foot x 7 foot ratio/size.  The design you order will print exactly as you see it displayed in the listing unless you choose to order a larger or smaller size than the 5x7 ratio/illustrated sample. We elaborate on this in detail, below:

1) If you order a larger size than the illustrated 5 x 7 foot design: our design team will stretch the design to fit the width you choose (as long as it does not distort the design) or they will crop it appropriately to fit the larger dimension you selected.

2) If you order a smaller size than the illustrated 5 x 7 foot design: our design team will crop the design to fit the shorter size *OR* where we deem appropriate, the design can be shrunk to fit the smaller size you choose (many designs can easily work in a smaller format when re-sized/shrunken). We strive to make the best decision on how to resize the design to best fit the customer's needs.

If you are unsure of what a design will look in another size and you would like to see a proof please email us at photopropfloors [!at] gmail.com, BEFORE ordering.



FIGURING OUT THE WIDTH OR HEIGHT OF PLANKS ON A WOOD FLOORDROP:

1) If the boards run vertically/tall:  

Count the total number of planks illustrated in the design, take the width of the material you will be ordering (ex: 52 inches, 60 inches, 61 inches, 8 foot, etc) and divide the width of the material by the total amount of boards in the design.

For example: 8 foot width material (96 inches), divided by 10 planks of vertically-oriented wood in the design, will have planks that are approximately 9.6 inches wide.

2) If the boards run horizontally/wide:

Count the total number of planks illustrated in the design, take the height of the material you will be ordering (ex: 5 foot, 6 foot, 7 foot, 8 foot, 9 foot, 10 foot, etc), divide the height of the material by the total amount of boards in the design.

For example: 7 foot height material (84 inches), divided by 8 planks of horizontally-orientated wood in the design, will have planks that are approximately 10.5 inches tall.


If you are unsure of what the plank size will be and you would like help calculating please email us at photopropfloors [!at] gmail.com, BEFORE ordering.

MATERIALS OVERVIEW
We offer the highest quality backdrops/floordrops on the market in a wide range of materials for you to choose from. The material that you choose will depend on your individual needs.

Please note that each material, highlighted below, has its own unique characteristics.  Each material will produce a different result based on the material that it is printed on.  Please keep this in mind if you are ordering 2 of the same design on 2 different materials that you would like to use together.  Two prints on two different materials will not have the same final look.

REMINDERS:

Fabric Prints: Please note that some tiny flaws should be expected. Occasionally, tiny pieces of fuzz on the fabric dislodge after the backdrop or floodrop is printed and leave behind small unprinted/white spots.  

If your print arrives with a small mark on it please note that it may not,  necessarily, be considered a defect.  Occasionally, there may be a mark transferred onto the print due to the busy work environment of our print house. We ask that you try to wash the print in the washing machine on a cold cycle to see if the spot comes out.  

Vinyl:  Through compounding, where vinyl resin in the form of powder is mixed with multiple products, you’ll have the end result of vinyl.  Its actual consistency will depend on how it is manufactured.  Sometimes there are blemishes in the compound but they do not affect the quality of your print and how it will look when photographed.  They are not considered print defects.

We are not responsible for damage caused by not removing all staples from your backdrop shipping tube. You are responsible for ensuring they are removed before pulling the drops out of the tube.
