WHAT SIZE & MATERIAL ARE THE BACKDROPS?

600mm x 600mm lightweight 5mm PVC boards



WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY BACKDROPS?

All In-Stock Backdrops will be shipped out within 1-3 Business days. Please allow a shipping time of up to 7 business days depending on your location. For all local Gold Coast orders, a free Pick-Up option is available!


WHAT MAKES YOUR BACKDROPS DIFFERENT?

Flatlaid Boards are rigid and non flimsy which means you can use them from the moment you unpack them anywhere in your house. Unlike to Vinyl rolled up backdrops, there is no need for clamps, sticky tapes or walls to try to straighten them up and find surfaces to attach. Find any spot with a nice natural light at home, outside, or on location, set up your scene and start shooting. Our boards are also glare-proof, non reflective and easy to store.

DO YOU DO CUSTOM DESIGNS?

Yes! If you have a specific artwork or brand colours, we are more than happy to assist you in finding the artwork and custom print backdrop boards to match your brand image and look. Please email hello@flatlaid.com.au with your request and we will provide you with a quote. (A minimum amount of 6x Backdrops is required)


CAN I GET THEM WET AND MESSY?  

YES! All Backdrops have an extra protection layer that is waterproof and stain-resistant! You can get messy and simply wipe any food or drink spills with a wet kitchen towel before going over it with a dry one. 


HOW TO CARE FOR FLATLAID BACKDROPS?

Even though our boards are durable, please still be gentle when styling your scene. Avoid dragging of props that might cause scratches and contact with non-food substances (paint, rust…) as they might stain the print.


HOW TO STORE MY FLATLAID BACKDROPS?

The best way to store your Flatlaid Photography Backdrops is just like you do with books.. either up straight, leaned against something solid like a wall or a shelf. Make sure they are nice and straight and not bended. Alternatively you can pile them up on top of each other on a flat surface or a floor. 

Avoid putting hot pots on the surfaces or leave the boards in direct sunlight for too long as this might cause some changes in colour or warping.

DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?
